Another shiny thing

—devadutta @ 22:07

What are they trying to sell in this weird ad? (is that Chewbacca and the Frankenstein’s Monster?)

The logo on the bottom right should be helpful.

Would you?

—srikanth @ 23:59

This picture’s been doing the rounds on the net for quite a while now. You’ve probably received it (in one of those annoying “Fwd: Fw: Fwd: Fw: Fw: Re: Re: Fw: Funny” emails), and it has probably questioned your stock-market-investing skills.

Identify the pic, and the two people whose faces I’ve whited out!

[Ed note: plz to ignore Srikanth’s rants on email etiquette. Thanks.)

Points party for everyone!
