This must be how the characters in movies like The Blob felt when they saw the creature, or how people must react to seeing a family member they just heard was horribly disfigured buying a non-fat latte just minutes later. Suffice it to say that Digital Orville Redenbacher, the centerpiece of a new campaign from CP&B for the brand, creeps me the f**k out. There's not a single thing about this image that's not disturbing on at least seven different levels, including the fact that he's apparently listening to an iPod while microwaving his popcorn (which sounds like a euphemism but isn't), begging the question of what the digital version of a deceased corporate icon would be rocking out to.
I feel dirty.

1. Saw this ad over and over again last night as I watched Deep Impact on TNT. Creeped me out more and more as the night went on. I don't think I'll be buying Orville Redenbacher popcorn ever again.
