But the main idea is one anyone can grasp: The egg donation process is dangerous—so beware. Egg donors should steer clear of any clinic that used to be a tuberculosis sanatorium/mental institution. And they should avoid sneaking back into the clinic after already pilfering sensitive documents—especially when the head security guard looks strangely like a rabid...

Although the war on terror continues, advertising agencies preparing spots for what is historically a day to showcase their best work say they will steer well clear of overt patriotic messages.
