Why I am scared of it?

[doc_bean]

That IS disturbing...

I admit, it's a bit strange...:sweatdrop:

The clown is called Bubbles.:fainting:

[Louis VI the Fat]

That girl's eyes are sending subliminal satanistic messages! :eeeek:

[KukriKhan]

Assuming little Carole just put up the O ('aught'), looks like Bubbles will win the game. I'm on pins and needles...did BBC ever show the result?

It's not obvious from that picture, but the little girl is actually The Destroyer Of Worlds.

Oppenheimer was a little girl? :inquisitive:

It explains so much.

That is a twisted picture by the by.

There is a program called Life on Mars on BBC1. It is about a police officer who is hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. He might be in a coma, mad, or a time traveller.

In the second episode he is dreaming, the TV is on and the test card is on the screen. Then she comes out of the TV and talks to him then starts singing.

In the third episode it happens again, without the singing, and she trying to kill him by telling him to sleep forever.

I was always terrified of it as a kid, so you can imagine my response.:sweatdrop:

I remember the test card from when I was a little child.

Thanks the gods that I will live my entire adult life with 24 hour tv and whatever replaces it.
