    I found this on our Competitors website: Its a very disturbing comic book that tries to portray Carpeting as an Evil flooring product, with Hardwood Floors as the alternative.

    The scary part is how they make all the people in it look so horribly deformed.

    Keep in mind this is supposed to be a professional website:

    i dunno. the object is not simply to be noticed - that is easy - it is to be noticed and employed on the back of it.

    An ad like that would actually put me off them to be honest. Just seems so childish and unprofessional, i'd be expecting a company run by teenagers to be turning up.

    It's a pretty cool, if eccentric cartoon.
    And it's not that odd for an American company to do it for Christ.

    I'd take it over this guy any day:

    Looks like something you'd see encyclopedia dramatica, a disturbing meme.

    Fine use of MsPaint.
