I think this may be the internet's biggest prank

You ever casually look over at those delivered ads that say: "OBAMA ASKS MOMS TO RETURN TO SCHOOL"?
There is almost always a photo attached to them, which started out pretty mundane. At first they rotated pictures of pretty normal middle aged to young adult women of various ethnic backgrounds that just smiled. Then they started playing "gotcha" with mens eyes by having young, busty women in animated pictures who laughed or jumped up and down. But here lately, they have really taken a turn for the weird. Over the last two days I have noticed a animated .gif of a man shaving and a guy with a huge beard and long hair who looked like his whole face was having a bad hair day. Are these the moms Obama is asking to go back to school? Is someone who works on the ads sick and tired and playing a prank? Have they just given up on all the legitimate eye catching pictures because of apathy and switched to ones with WTF factor?

The ads always seemed a little scam-ish, but now they are almost becoming a parody of themselves. For me at least, that is a good thing, cause it gives me something to laugh at while checking my e-mail.
