There's an Ambien commercial wherein a streetlight bends around and sticks its head through a window, and examines a sleeping couple.
The ad agancy probably doesn't realize that that commercial is frightening to people who sat through '50s sci-fi movies featuring death-dealing alien robots with heads like the streetlight, and who then after the movie rode home on a bicycle through the dark.
Fifty-plus years, and that silvery head with a glowing eye on a flexible neck is still scary.

I called the number in the letter in the previous post, and asked what my temporary password is. The Verizon person insisted the password was in the letter. I read her the sentence. Several times. She still insisted the password was in the letter. I finally convinced her I was too stupid to figure it out, and she should give me another.
That's scary, too.

This made me think of that old game show "Password". We had the board game too, but since my sister was 3 years older and my brother 6 years older, they always kicked my butt. I still liked pulling the card with the clues and answers through the magic "infra red" (red cellophane) thingy to reveal the answer.
I know this had nothing to do with your post, but you spurred those memories.
