Talk about ironic advertising

I'm sure this [1] is completely unintentional, but I found it hilarious.

Update very early Tuesday morning at 1:27 am, November 16^th, 2004

Wlofie: “Yes, that is funny.”

Jessica: “Yeah, there's something funny about it. The fourth figure, doesn't fit. A scuba diver in the sky maybe?”

Spring: “It would have been funnier if it was the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) [2]. But not the Navy.”

Sigh. So much for attempting to point out the ironic placement of a Navy ad in a page about 1984 [3] (and Big Brother).
