That hideous strength

I’m no stranger to horrible things. I was taught by my old man, a decorated special forces vet, to shield myself with an aura of jaded detatchment when faced with existential terrors. It’s a talent which has served me well over the years and has given me an edge when dealing with those who are unable to confront things like Google Earth images of North Korean medical experimentation camps or photos of mutilated World War I soldiers with the same degree of bemused resignation.
So when my wife directed my attention to this recent tabloid advertisement…
…my natural reaction was AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! EEEEEEEEEWWWWWW! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
…and in conclusion, AAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOO! AAAAAAAH!

I want to touch it. I’m sure I would feel a bit sick afterwards but I really want to touch it.

I’m not sure I see the problem here.

The baby dolls are creepy, Nazz, but there’s something about the tone and texture of the monkey’s little hand that reminds me of both “Hamburger Lady” and the cover to Plastic Surgery Disasters.

Oh my. Someone, somewhere is going to inherit one of these in a doll collection and be scarrred for life.
It would be like opening a hope chest and finding a Real Doll
