Help me out, CR. I don't get it.
Lee jeans... are associated with anonymity? ...make you melt? ...make hipsters trip over themselves?
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AD.
I was going to take on the cryptic crossword over lunch but I think this is a much better puzzle. I'm not even sure where to start.
The position of his legs suggest that he's a dropped ice-cream cone, melting.
Doing a word-association game with the goal of going from Lee + Waldo to melted ice cream, I get this path: Lee + Waldo -> Lee Harvey Oswald -> Harvey Milk -> milk -> melted ice cream.
What can we learn from this?
(1) Everyone involved with making this ad was high on mushrooms at the time.
(2) I have too much time on my hands.
Also, those are some ugly jeans, as far as I can tell from this painted disaster. They should've gone with the old tried-and-true method of just showing some naked people cavorting above the logo.
