obay: the (fake) because-i-said-so drug

Have you seen these ads?

We saw these in Mississauga yesterday, two on bus shelters and one on the side of a bus. They're fake ads, for a product that doesn't exist. Possibly a comment on parents over-medicating children? That's just a guess.

When Amy started thinking for herself, we had to nip it in the bud.
Thanks, Obay!

My son used to have his own hopes and aspirations.
Now he has mine. Thanks, Obay!

From the makers of WhyBecauseISaidSo.


They've been noticed in Toronto and London, Ontario, too. Torontoist has done some research, but hasn't come up with anything definitive.

So far nobody knows who is putting them out. There's no website on the ad, no organization name. They're very good. Let me know if you find anything.

Update. See comments!
