Another sinister advert

After writing recently about an apparent trend of sinister adverts, I watched the Persil advert in a different way - the one with a little girl covered in paint because she supposedly painted 'Welcome Home Mummy' on a banner.

The girl holds out her arms to her newly-returned mother but turns her head towards her father. The shot is cut before her head stops turning, leaving you with the disturbing impression that it will keep going all the way round, like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

I don't remember seeing this in the same advert break as the AA zombies or the others I wrote about. Maybe they should have had a special Halloween advert break with all of them together.

Has anyone else got any more examples of the bizarre or macabre in advertising, either deliberate or accidental?
