Hey all, first post here with a hunt that's been bugging me for a long time and I've hit so many dead ends.
The origin of my name is that back around in 2007, Google AdWords kept dropping this ad on all forums I visited (Sonic Vegemite and possibly others, but it's been 15 years so the only one I can guarantee is SV) that showed a picture of the Nabaztag robot assistant (the thing in my avatar) with the caption "This Omnipotent Rabbit is Smarter than You" next to it, with no other context. It was bizarre, out of place, and I loved it. I was inspired by the banner ad so much I made it my name - Omnipotent Rabbit, which I later had to shorten - and even made my own parody with Vibri from Vib-Ribbon, which I...also cannot find, having lost it after something like four different hard drive migrations, and the fact that Photobucket killed off all old image uploads somewhere in the last 10 years for whatever reason.
In all these years, I am completely certain I saw this, and I know Nabaztag advertised very heavily in 2007, but the only corroborating evidence I've found is this post from a Perl blog dated 2007-03-30:

I've tried archives of the forum, archives of the website of the Nabaztag creators to see if they announced any ad campaigns (https://www.nabaztag.com/ by the way), I feel like I've tried everything, yet I can't find this one banner ad from 2007 that changed my life.
Does anyone have any idea where I could find this? I swear, if Photobucket hadn't taken down their stuff I'd have better proof, but as it stands all I have is that Perl blog corroborating my memory.
