What is wrong with this picture?

I was flipping through this week's NY Times magazine when an ad caught my eye. I'm curious to know if anyone else spots the same problem I do.

In large, bold letters, the ad asks: 'Hear the buzz?' A shiny red cylindrical object takes up most of the picture. Just below, the text continues: 'It's about the new Electric Rabbit.' Smaller print specifies that it's a corkscrew.

Larger version here.


It might just be that the same thing came up with my teenage cousins a while back (which was rather a surprise).

I'm kind of embarrassed to ask, actually, but are you thinking what I'm thinking?

If so, all you have to say is "Yes."

Although I do wonder if the people who made (and approved) the ad were aware. Was it intentional?

Do you want an explanation? This may be one of the rare cases where ignorance is bliss.
