hm. visually it's interesting and an eyecatcher. but why "illusion"?? sounds like the kids are doomed! am i understanding something wrong here?

you're right. illusion doesn't sound so good in this context

My guess is that "illusion" has a closer meaning to "dream" in their language.

It gets lost in translation. Ilusion in spanish could also mean hope, so they are playing with that double meaning.

yeah , "ilusión" = "esperanza" = "hope"…
i get a strange feeling from that yellow bag. it looks like something else than a drug! its distractive.

Something else is getting lost in the translation or I'm being too litteral. The bag of fluid is supposed to also be a balloon on a string, right? Which implies fun? Cute? Dream?
I think there's a great thought here, and I'm guessing it's getting completely lost in the nuances of language and culture.

That's all you've got? You are going to correct my spelling. Have you nothing else to add to the discussion? Well. Guess I'll thank you for bringing it to my attention. I hope you never have the misfortune of mispelling something ever in your life. Too bad you didn't have anything else to say.
