The disturbing photograph shown in the ad.

The already controversial contraceptive organisation Mary Strokes International has recently released an advertisement that has caused such a shock among nearly everyone who has viewed it that. Many magazines that were running the ad immediately pulled it out of circulation, and only a few more 'rebellious' magazines leave it there as if it were a scar to show off at parties to drunken frat girls.

The advertisement shows a photograph of what appears to be a giant floating egg with two small feet (Though experts have argued whether or not they were feet, or simply a curvy shadow) holding out it's hand in the face of a nearby, clearly disappointed looking sperm. The caption below reads, "Talk to the hand 'cause the egg ain't lis'nin!"

Experts believe this rare photograph shows that mankind has gone a little too far. "It's bad enough we're trying to clone human beings," A spokesman for Rolling Stone Magazine told reporters. "But to give the very basis of human creation not only sentience, but arms, legs, and also personalities is going a little too far. Plus, that egg is way too sassy."

The opposition to this ad is split down the middle - Some are horrified by the thought of further altering the act of human conception, while others are horrified by the thought of being rejected by women even at a microscopic level.

"It's hard enough getting laid as is." An anonymous Dungeons and Dragons loving teenager said before quickly adding, "I mean, it's not like I have problems with it or something. We just don't need to make it even more difficult."

Both sides of the protestors have demanded that the organization destroy all research retaining to the project. To this moment, though, the organization has refused to make any comments on the case, not even acknowledging it, leading the protestors to be even more suspicious.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
