One creepy-ass company mascot...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I’ve been meaning to post this for some time, but I just this week had a moment to take a photo to include.

I make weekly visits to an office building that has a large regional dental office in it. This company has about 12 dentists and advertises a lot locally. Their mascot is everywhere: on vans, signs, ads, flyers and most especially as this 4-foot cutout in the building’s main lobby**.

Is that or is that not the creepiest thing you’ve seen in a long time in the name of “family friendly” marketing? It gives me the heebies every time I walk past the van outside, the sign or this eerie presence. (My daughter will NOT let me throw it over the rail to the floors far below… little twerp.)

I think what makes it so extra weird-creepy-disturbing is the extremely realistic eyes. If it had cartoony eyes, it would be merely dopey, but with Paul Newman’s baby blues smiling at you… shudder.

The mustache. The mustache.

And after the mustache, the weird hand-like eyebrows.

Called it!

That thing is horrific, and would give me a dental phobia if I didn’t already have one.

Reminds me of this (in)famous Pink Panther scene.
