newspaper ad synchronicity/This Week In God
Click to enlarge
Two items across the gutter (in the business section of the SF Chron, of all places) that use similar exercising imagery. One is literally for exercise gear; the other is a metaphor.
The left-hand ad is for a Soloflex gizmo that vibrates. And you stand it on and lose weight.

Sounds like something from The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices! Soloflex, supposedly a brand we’re familiar with (the first TV infomercials on film, the earliest users of infomercials for exercise equipment), offering ridiculous quackery!
The perhaps ironic/perhaps not references to God are also strange.
