Original ad was the
same except the words 'consume reproduce' were not present.
The original ad appeared in tabloids in the UK and I guess they
were trying to get people to go back to the Thacherite 80's
where people would work hard and live for the weekend (Drop
Acid/E and stay up late). Inspired by Aldous Huxley's book 'Brave
New World'.
