Cursed Japanese Kleenex Ads Are Awesome
Watch at your own risk.In the mid 1980s this ad spurred a ton of urban legends after it first aired. Specifically, it was said that everyone involved in the production of the spot died ‘under suspicious circumstances,’ that is except for the women who appears in it. She merely gave birth to a demon child soon after shooting. People also claimed that the song sounded different at different times of the day. At night it was purported to sound like a raspy old lady was singing. Oh, and the lyrics sound like a German hex, too. While none of this is true, I, for one, would have been willing to believe anything you told me about this 30 second spot. It gives me the serious heebie-jeebies. The mix of dreaminess, innocence and motherliness totally remind me of Rosemary’s Baby (in fact does sound a lot like the title song from that movie). Please post any comments if you experience unexplained tragedy, trauma or horror following the viewing of this commercial.
