Do Giants Live Amongst Us?

As I pondered this ad, which ran in Time magazine (May 1983), I realized that here on WU we've slowly been accumulating evidence that a race of giants lives amongst us, whose existence is occasionally revealed to the world in advertisements. Consider, for the sake of comparison, these two other ads that Paul and I have previously posted:

Evidence seems to point out the fact that the are, in fact, using our women to incubate and raise their young and that they plan on enslaving us to build toy cars for them. Do you think they've got some kind of a giant Hot Wheels track?

I hope the baby in the second picture came out of the lady in the third picture. If not she is VERY flexible 🐛

The rabbit in the 2nd picture looks terrified.

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, that they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown" (Gen.6:1-4). I believe they were talking about aliens. But 'giants' works okay.

@Danny: Me too. It explains a lot!

@Patty: When you're 4.5ft tall 6ft = giant!

I think that the idea for the 'Conan - The Barbarian' series was also taken from the latter part of this biblical passage, ("- the same became mighty men of old, men of renown"). Perhaps it was not so far-fetched, after all.
