Acid Reflux ... er, Flashback

As part of my marketdroid duties at work, I've signed up for newsletters from a number of competitors. I received this atrocity a couple of weeks ago.

Once you've stopped retching and gagging, and your eyes are focusing again, you can see that it's really pretty clever. They're not actually advertising the nauseating green bathroom - it's for safety features, aimed at aging Boomers. The very people who thought guacamole and coffee grounds were a good colour palette back in the 60's. As their short term memory fails along with their ability to walk unassisted, this room is going to seem perfectly familiar to them. And it's a fitting punishment for their former fashion crimes, don't you think?

Wonder what they'll have in store for us in 20 or 30 years ...
