Adobe interlocking cogs

[Iku Rex]

Certain Adobe ads have been bugging me lately. They consists of a bunch of cogs, three of which interlock (with each other). There is also some text: "Work together better." (An image will be attached if all goes well.)

Now, as far as I can see there's no way three cogs connected like that can "work together" at all. Am I missing something, or is this a really messed up ad?

The principle of an advert is to sell a product, not necessarily to be scientifically accurate. But yeah, looks weird.

Welcome to the wonderful world of superficiality advertising. In essence advertising doesn't promote intelligence, as it could be opposite to customers brainwashing.

The ad is actually a pic taken from just outside Regulus, on the plane of Mechanus. What you don't see is that the two small cogs don't actually touch each other; they both touch the big cog, but not at the same height. This is fairly clear from atop the Modron Cathedral, but the artist has clearly decided to use a perspective trick.

Right. Assuming those top three are intended to be intermeshed, they ain't going nowhere.

Having just struggled with Acrobat Reader's desire to take over my machine and my browser, I'm in no mood to offer Adobe much leeway today.

Dagnabit. Leave my Mac alone!
