Creepy image on straight dope home page

I go onto the Straight Dope home page to be confronted by this picture, apparently part of a sponsored ad, though I can’t tell what it’s touting. And no, I’m not going to click on it. Blecghgh. Can’t you find advertisers that feature puppies or something?

Charity for the rare skin condition digilitus? I got nothin’

I never knew that mini-borgs were cute as a button.

Skin for the skinless. Doesn’t he look cold?

Something like “Hi Kids! I’ve got some puppies in the van - come with me!” ?

I remember one advertisement that I won’t repost, but it made me giggle like school-girl due to certain internet message board stereotypes.

It’s the Dancing Baby now that he’s hit puberty. Just a phase he’s going through.

Domo arigato Mr Roboto Jr

Jesus Christ, this is what counts as creepy now? No wonder anybody who posts any kind of non-vanilla thread these days gets hounded as a troll.

Still life with young Scientologist?

See, that’s why I keep trying to tell my boys to cut back on the video games. But do they listen? Noooooo. The next thing you know they have little digital pentangle nipples and that Village of the Damned look in their bloodshot eyes.

And yes, I believe it causes the baldness too.

I’d been wondering when Lawnmower Man 3 would be out. I mean that franchise totally had legs. Right? Right?

What he said. If you think that’s creepy, you ain’t been on the internet before.

Can you imagine if the OP saw goatse? The black hole at the center of the galaxy would explode.

But it ain’t creepy!

That argument’s full of holes!

Looks a little too happy to me. Wonder what’s going on in that freaky head of his.

It creeped me the fuck out.

Reminds me of the Andy Griffith episode where Opie was abducted by that South American tribe who tattooed him prerequisite to slicing him into bits for barbecuing. (Good thing Barney’s gun accidentally went off and shot the shaman through the eye just before the knife fell.)

Gattaca meets Real Doll?
