Nothing wigs me out quicker than a creepy kid.

It’s even worse when an advertising agency thinks that what they consider a darling cherub but I see as an evil devil spawn is fawning over their product in a commercial or ad.

Is it just me or does that kid at the top look like she’s salivating over a raw hamburger sandwich? Yes, I know it’s strawberry jam or something, but I can’t help but imagine it as ground up flesh.

And the one below certainly has a sinister vibe if you ask me. The glow of campfire flames casting a red hellish hue over everything. If you listen closely I think you can hear him moaning, “Brains, brains.”

With her gigantic eyes glazed over, the little girl below looks like she can’t wait to dig into what appears to be human hearts on her plate.

Plan 59 has more pics of retro weird, saucer-eyed kids and the food they crave.

And maybe the weirdest kid of all time was Vickie the Robot from the Small Wonder television show.

Yes, I know it wasn’t an advertisement, but this little girl is about as spine-chillingly freaky as they get. Maybe the weirdest thing about the show is that it stayed on the air for 4 seasons.

Enjoy.

The Orlando Magic really want to keep Dwight Howard after this season.  Dwight Howard, slam dunk champion,  is one of the best centers in the NBA and that’s a hard thing to come by these days.  Orlando knows they have to do something big to convince Howard to resign with their team, and they’ve done [...]

It was as dramatic as the closing sequence of any James Bond movie.  The clock was counting down–5, 4, 3, 2, 1–and at the last second, everything ground to a halt.  It wasn’t some evil plot that was stopped, but a good plot.  Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, a pioneer in commercial space flight, was scheduled [...]

At one point, the toning shoe was a fad that you could not get away from.  It was a basic sneaker with an odd-shaped sole that was supposedly designed to help the wearer burn more calories and tone up while doing essentially nothing to add to their fitness level.  As it turns out, just walking [...]

General Motors is an incredible rebound story, from getting government bailouts to returning to profitability in a very short time.  Part of GM’s prowess is their dedication to advertising.  General Motors is the third-largest advertiser in the United States, spending a staggering $1.8 billion dollars per year on ads.  That’s an incredible amount, but there’s [...]

When you give a baby a name, you’re charting the life course for that person.  Names are for life, and they will affect how your child acts (if you put stock in Freakonomics).  It’s a tough choice for any parent, as you try to balance giving your child a unique name, but not so unique [...]

It sounds like a bad comedy routine.  Someone out swimming in the water pauses to go to the bathroom, and then dead fish start popping up out of the water, killed by the potency of the swimmer’s waste.  Well, it’s not funny to fishermen in Hamburg, Germany.  Eichbaum Lake, a destination near Hamburg, is the [...]
