Encountered the following mattress advertisement in a window display last week:
Now, perhaps market research has proven the whole “keep your back straight while you sleep” angle as an effective way to sell a mattress. But sweet lord, there’s a fine line between thoughtful advertising and NIGHTMARE INDUCING HORROR.
Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Seriously. This is where nightmares come from. Not horror films or scary stories. It’s from stupid little mundane images like this that your brain is forced to digest and file away as “acceptable” and “not nightmare inducing” when they really really are.
Also, I'm not sure why, but looking at this lady's naked butt is somehow akin to staring directly into The Void.

talk about a catch 22....sure, this bed helps you sleep - but it also gives you a NASTY rash
I'm thinking either: "I haven't seen 'Red Dragon' in a while" or: "Wow, that body tattoo in 'Red Dragon' was scary and reminds me of this" or:"I wonder if the giant sleeping lady kills people for their spine bones, boils them for stock and then makes people-spine-gravy".
Happy Holidays,
