The most confusing internet ad ever?
So I'm on my last.fm page and notice the following ad in the corner:
![imgad?id=CLvl_an4r8n3rgEQrAIY7wEyCLUI8fqmP-8w](http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/imgad?id=CLvl_an4r8n3rgEQrAIY7wEyCLUI8fqmP-8w)
I'm dumbfounded. I guess I understand that having a cartoon version of you could be interesting, and obviously they are using an attractive young lady to draw my attention to the ad, but what the hell is up with the gigantic spoon of fruit loops? Are fruit loops supposed to be sexy? Am I supposed to think this girl is particularly young and somehow be drawn to that?
And how the hell would someone even fit that spoon in their mouth?
I'm really confused by the whole thing, and knew someone here would have an answer for me. So please, help me out here!

*Like I need than!
There's a short attention span born every minute.
I demand that internet ads for cartoonizing oneself make sense.

"View-source" bypasses the HTTP protocol somehow - I guess it's smart enough to figure out what kind of file it is without the extension...?
As for the spoon, I just assume the advertiser knows that everyone who's narcissistic enough to want a cartoon of themselves also has a serious oral fixation.
Hope that's solved the puzzle!
