I'm having trouble getting the link to load. If I can't access a link within 20 seconds (I'm on high-speed DSL, by the way), I usually give up. Might just be my screwy computer in this case, though.

It appears to be a string of Japanese Ads about smoking etiquette. The author makes up his own ad copy for what the pictures are portraying in an attempt at humor.

I didn't have any trouble getting to the link, but I'm on cable.
Weird ads. The graphics are bizarre, especially the little helicopter and the rat. Makes me want to smoke.

Might just be my screwy computer in this case, though. I had trouble loading the first couple of tries but third time it came up. Worth a look if you don't mind hitting refresh a few times.
