American Company Comes Up With Unique Way Of Selling Ice Cream, And Haunting Your Dreams

Does the thought of watching a scary man staring ghoulishly into your eyes while eating himself make you want to buy an ice cream?

Well, one ice cream company based in Philadelphia, USA, certainly hope so - and it seems to have done the trick.

You would have thought calling yourself Little Babies ice cream was creepy enough, but just wait until you see their new commercials. They are likely to be the most disturbing things you will see in a long time.

The two spots compete tightly with one another as the subject of my next nightmare. They even have freaky titles: ‘This is a Special Time’ and ‘Love Lickers’. The former depicts the sexless man-ice cream eating itself with a soulless stare and puke-inducing mouth movements.

The second is a repetitive ice-cream-man-in-cone-holding-ice-cream-man-in-cone sequence which ends with a huge tongue sliding into the frame and licking Malcolm – apparently that’s the dairy freak’s name.

One minute is far too long to have to endure such horror, and I applaud anyone who can watch to the end without either crying or vomiting. #

That said, they’ve gained a total of 68,969 shares in one week, so Malcolm and his glassy gaze must be doing something right.

Darth Vader, On A Unicycle, In A Kilt, Playing The Imperial March On The Bagpipes. What's Not To Love?

The Internet loves Star Wars and it loves weird. So, it's not surprising that this clip of Darth Vader partaking in a quick round of 'unipiping' is currently trending.

Yeah, that's right, unipiping - or the art of playing the bag pipes while riding a unicycle. This particular unipipist has appeared YouTube before, albeit in blurry videos of him flying down the street in a tartan and black plastic.

This video seems to have caught Vader in a car park as he appropriately plays the Imperial March from Star Wars. To be honest, there is not a whole lot else to the video (apart from its oddness), which makes its 48-second length a blessing.

Star Wars is a very risky thing to go playing around with online. Loyal fans are quick to respond to anything affiliated with the franchise, and not always favourably. In this case, though, they seem to have embraced the quirky take on the galaxy's ultimate bad guy.

Although uploaded in late January, the clip has only recently taken off, attracting a lot of tweets and more than 10,000 Facebook shares

We would love to know who the masked musician is. Watch the video and see if you can work it out, we sure can't.

Woman Burnt At Stake In Most Ludicrous Ad You Will Possibly Ever See!

Some brands will do anything to get noticed. They wil hire Darth Vader, put babies in roller skates, even give cats thumbs, just to try and stand out from the crowd. 

Some will even feature a woman being burnt alive at a stake. No, really. And we are not talking about some humorous reference to Joan of Arc either.

No, this is an ad for Norway's Bjorg Jewellery, in which two attractive ladies are seen walking across a desert towards a large wooden stake in the ground. Once they reach it, one is willingly tied up by the other and has petrol poured all over her. She is then set on fire. Well, they do say fashion hurts.

Anyway, it sounds a lot more gruesome than it actually is, but it does prove the lengths some will go to just to get themselves noticed.  

However, the film, directed by Matias & Mathias, is not noticeable because of how shocking and bleak its content is, but just because it is just so ludicrous.
