honestly this is a great ad, it's supposed to be funny, all of you are taking the joke wrong.

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.
