My New Biggest Fear...

It used to be that I was afraid of clowns. They are creepy. They creep me out. I don't ever want to be stuck alone in an alley with any of them. Just recently, I have discovered something else that creeps me out...




MANNEQUINS!

Old Navy's latest ad campaign features mannequins...not just the mute type, but mannequins who also talk and have personal profiles. I have never liked mannequins. They have the perfect figures, they get to wear sweet clothes, and they don't have to do laundry or load the dishwasher. If they have a pain in their arm, they just remove it and get a new one. The Old Navy mannequins apparently have names, relationship status', and fashion styles all their own. What will they think of next? If I am ever in an Old Navy and Amy the mannequin starts telling me what style I should wear, I think I will have to run out of that store as fast as I can...maybe to a Jack-in-the-Box, where a creepy clown head can tell me I should try their new flatbread sandwiches!

These are sick. As if the movie "Mannequin" wasn't bad enough. They're like glorified barbies, only super creepy.

I completely agree with you and Whitney! I saw the commercial and all I could think was, "Really?!" Seriously sick!

Another possibility: maybe they ran out of money for a real ad campaign, and already had all the creepy mannequins, so they just used some of their employees for the voices. I wouldn't be surprised.
