Last we checked in with Specsavers, the U.K. optical chain with the fun ads, they were celebrating their 25th birthday with a sperm-themed spot. Now, they've moved on to UFOs. You'll be happy, I'm sure, to hear that they're returning to their original slogan ("Should've gone to Specsavers") in this new spot, in which aliens bully a defenseless, near-blind farmer into getting new glasses. Not very effectively, though, since he can't really see what they're writing in his crops.
