   I like them even though I find them unnerving. One half expects to see a child’s body just a little deeper in the thicket.

   Maybe that’s just too much CSI speaking.

   Sorry, but these ads suck. It’s incredibly difficult to see what the objects are in the foliage - and, besides that, the headline isn’t that great.

   Just my opinion.

   Yeah, I like them too, though I can’t really agree with you about the dead body part, haha.

   Seems like every time I cut my lawn or trim the bushes I find similar things.

   this is on a thin lin. Could work out great could not work at all.

   I think it’s good. Must be in a magize defenitly not an a bill bord. Cause it takes time to find out what the ad is for. In a magazine i gues i draws enough atantion for people to start wondering what the product is.

   i found out with the chainsaw. the lawnmoyer is not very reconiseble for me

   I suppose it *could* work for me if I knew what STIHL was. But i suppose it must be a well-known something wherever this ad is run, ne?

   I’m with Kit - I like the concept but I too think the imagery is a bit unnerving. For me, it’s mostly the darkened and unusually intense colors of the foliage.

   I do like how unusual a compare between the finding of toys and the product of STIHL is. I like it because it’s unusual and sells the product well enough to me - even though I have no want/need for chainsaws and line-trimmers.

   But I wonder how the target audience of men relate to the concept. Do guys generally have a heart-tugging moment when running across an old favorite toy - like gals do? Dunno that I’ve seen my boyfriend [a STIHL user] get overly sentimental over a stuffed bunny or deflated soccer ball.

   Should have ditched the first headline you wrote down. They unnecessarily creep me out.

    I think the idea is good, but the “crappy snapshot with flash” look makes me work too hard to find the memory-triggering object.
