Macabre...what a cool word. Not much occasion to use it. Am I that way, I wonder?
Well, I did used to devour everything by Stephen King and enjoy it lot....but mostly IRL, I'm the slightly squeemish one who looks away and covers her face at gross stuff in movies....then, on the other hand, I do actually sort of like spiders...I mean, they don't bother me, I'll be the person in any group who kills them fearlessly(okay, I lie-I'm a bit scared.
Anywaaaaaay....I might have seen the QO guy..I can't remember...? Can you describe the commercial? Does he walk around?
And 2 more thoughts....
what about the Pillsbury Dough Boy? He never really struck me as creepy, too cute and sweet....except for when he was gigantic in the Ghostbusters movie....huh...I'll bet BK just loves those scenes - he's probably jealous.Also, I think I just saw another one yesterday....oh no, this sounds like a typical "copycat" ad trend....it's an ad for White Castle, I think, and it's Jeeves, a butler, holding a tray with their new sandwich on it...not very creepy, until at the end, the man in the ad asks him to leave the room....and he won't. See, that's where creepiness starts, when these things stay motionless, staring at you, allegedly fake, but you KNOW they're thinking something, and it can't be nice....
Ok. ok. OK. okay. Meds, let's see, where'd I put those meds...? ;-)

Pillsbury Dough Boy wanted for attempted murder
A lady named Linda went to Arkansas last week to visit her in-laws, and while there, went to a store. She parked next to a car with a woman sitting in it, her eyes closed and hands behind her head, apparently sleeping. When Linda came out a while later, she again saw the woman, her hands still behind her head but with her eyes open. The woman looked very strange, so Linda tapped on the window and said "Are you okay?"
The woman answered "I've been shot in the head, and I am holding my brains in." Linda didn't know what to do, so she ran into the store, where store officials called the paramedics. They had to break into the car because the door was locked. When they got in, they found that the woman had bread dough on the back of her head and in her hands. A Pilsbury biscuit cannister had exploded, apparently from the heat in the car, making a loud explosion like that of a gunshot, and hit her in the head. When she reached back to find what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She passed out from fright at first, then attempted to hold her brains in.

you crack me up!
the quaker oats guy just stands around too...just staring, not saying anything. Plus he shows up everywhere. At least the King stuck to one location per ad (i think). So with the quaker guy you never know a safe place. Eeeekk!
that other one, jeeves, does sound sort of familiar. I'll have to pay more attention when it comes on.
hmmm, i'll have to think about the pillsbury doughboy. He is cute but he is also insidious in his ability to knock you off with cholesterol. hmmm. Danger Will Robinson.
you are the least macabre person around...i just like that word. I've read the Stephen King books too and have now moved on to Dean Koontz (sort of the same genre). Just finished his new one "Velocity" (i can never remember what i'm supposed to do with book titles, quotes?).

I don't remember clearly what the outcome was, but I think the inside of the car would have had to reach unpleasant (to a person) temperatures for the dough to explode. But, they did get the dough tubes to explode, it made an audible bang, and the stuff did fly all over. That's how I remember it, anyway.
