Mysterious Advertising

[tealin]

I happened upon this ad in a bus stop on my way home from work yesterday, and it was oddly disconcerting.



Okay, this is apparently an ad for a clothing line, and if you look closely at the tag in the t-shirt it has the brand logo on it, but the prominence of the blond blue-eyed child makes it look like it could equally be an ad for a genetic engineering company, or propaganda for a white supremacist eugenics program. Was this intentional? Was it ironic? Was it left over from something that was filming in town? What's going on here?

I used to work in a clothing warehouse (blank t-shirts and things sold to screenprinters and embroidery shops) so I'm high familiar with the name Gildan. It's like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom to me. It never occured to be me that the ad could be anything else. Though the genetic engineering side highly amuses me. :)
