Creepiest ad ever.
This shit pisses me off so much. And it's only a doll. You should see the crap actual kids get. I went into one of those hideous big box crapholes the other day and they had all these branded bedding sets for kids. Why would anyone put their baby to bed with a giant HUMMER written all over the sheets with big angry looking cars all over it. Hardly a tranquil nights sleep in the making. I had to drag myself out of there before I set fire to them.
No! you are not.
That's just creepy.
Ha! I saved that one and sent it to my sister. We live for the creepy doll ads, and that is possibly the worst I had ever seen.
Also delightfully horrific: anything produced by Thomas Kinkade.
I like the footnote that says "these are not toys ... they are for adults" !? This group "adults" is one that I'm having trouble associating with.
