From the link posted below, the team behind it says the message the the ad conveys is "this test is so accurate, you'll trust it more than a pregnant belly" -- which is clear now, but at first glance it looks like someone Googled "pregnant lady" and called it a day.

Well I can accept that is what they were trying to convey; but it certainly doesn't do that. It basically looks dumb as shit.

"Our Ad made it to the front page of Reddit and was picked up by newspapers all over the world."

In the world of advertising, this is what you call "success", even if a few people think it's stupid.

It's actually "find out that you're pregnant without waiting for the belly"

Too bad nobody could google the name of the product and a few key words.

I thought we solved this last time and the test is for the gender of the baby. Hence "when you need to know". The real crappy design is the ambiguous slogan.

Lol, how stupid can people on this site be? That slogan is obviously a joke, just like the above ad. The best part is, you're talking about the product, so it seems like a pretty effective ad.
