Final version

We had a very political take originally. It was somewhat surprising that Current Affairs went with the tamest version

Since it is meant to be an absurd 'ad', the editors and us toyed with the 'lady becoming an octopus' idea before going with 'lady getting attacked by an octopus'

Still my personal favorite draft
