It’s been nearly four weeks since the finale of AMC’s Breaking Bad, and the show’s fans are now going through a withdrawal nearly as intense as when Jesse quit the H and got shipped off to rehab.

Taking a cue from the visual trickery of a certain scene in Breaking Bad’s final episode (you’ll know it when you see it—no spoilers here), the star of most of the ad isn't an iPad, but an old-fashioned No.
