Captivate Network

That's the name of the TV Network that plays in the elevators here at work. And while it did help me to realize the semantic similarities between captive and captivate, I can't say it doesn't freak me out a little bit.

In the ladies' room stalls at my gym, the plastic ad-frames are made by a company Captive Media.

The one I saw held an ad for Monistat that featured a kangaroo wearing purple boxing gloves.

Option 1: The ad is meant to convey only the metaphorical "knock out" of infection.

Option 2: The ad is also meant to convey a poor-taste kangaroo-Australia-"down under" angle, to really offend the discerning.
