Now that you're here-- Join us!
Do you like weird transformations/morphs in ads? Well, so do we.
I don't care your reason. Do you like TV nostalgia of noteworthy, weird ads? Was there an ad as a kid with a morph that scared you, but you want to see it again? Do you want to be Godzilla and remembered a commercial that fufilled this fantasy? Whatever floats your boat. Come on in.
The goal, here, is for all of us to band together to purchase ads that we cannot find elsewhere on the internet. Ads that cost $375 are expensive for one person-- but that same price is nothing to 13 people with $30.
If you contribute over a certain amount to help buy an ad, you'll get access to that ad AND be sent download links for a few ads in our download section!
If you contribute a certain amount, but smaller than above, to help buy an ad, you will get the digital copy of the ad when it is purchased. What a deal!
If you contribute even a LITTLE (less than $13), your contributions will add up to an ad or two for you to get. :)
There's no way to lose! When your ad is purchased, we can see what we can do to use it to help get our message out further into the internet.
I realize that you may have issues trusting me-- which I can understand. I only hope the presence and completeness of this website will garner your trust.

NEWS
July 16th, 2008 (wed): Site was created! You can also see our RSS feed in the lower right of the page. RSS feed? Well.. I'm actually updating it manually. So I hope you can suffer it! D:
So, what do we do NOW?
Take a look at our Current Funds page to find out all the ads that we're currently working up the money to purchase! Or, why not review a list of Current USA Ads-- the ads that we've already obtained? We also have a list of Global Ads that have varying degrees of wacky fun inside. Finally, if the mood strikes you, you can review the Ad-Wanted List to see a list of ads that we have heard of, and their descriptions-- maybe you'll want to contribute to their funds? :)
Also! If you have any ads that are in our wanted list-- contact us! We'd be more than happy to accept your pretty donation, and add you to our group. Do you have a VHS that has that commercial on it, but you can't digitize it?? Contact me about it! We'll make its digitization a reality. :D
You can read up a bit more about my interest in this field, and/or this website's manifesto at the About Page. :) What might be of most importance to EVERYBODY would be the Terms of This Service page. It describes how I offer this collection service on behalf of all of us without profit (non-profit).
Site's Goals
I don't think this site will ever be very large. But, it may. In case it does, I plan on having all the ads on the website, and allowing access based on a credit system-- when your ad is bought, you get entry. When you've used up all the $ you've contributed, you'd need to donate to a new video project to get back and access... I'm not sure.
In any case, we want to have tons ads for our contributors, and have those ads in many formats-- getting as good as we can.
