I'm glad I'm not the only one having a strong twitch response to this ad. Damn good job they did of taking chapped lips and bad teeth to a new level.

I hate it when I get psychic tension. Damn telepaths.

I keep wanting to set up a 900 number -- dial a psychotic.

This is an ugly ad. Still wish I could make it into an LJ icon for when I'm particularly anxious and raging. Alas, my compy is in the shop (mobile post).:(

This is one of the more disturbing things I have seen. Perhaps the lack of a nose makes it particularly heebie-jeebie-inducing.

YES!!!

That is one creepy ad! Looks like a poster for some horror movie.

interesting to see the differences between ads for psychiatric ads then & now

Yes

Seems like I am voting yes on pretty much every ad, but again I kind of really like it. Graphically it is really well done.
