Children's toy commercials creep me out, particuarly the ones geared for toys for the under five set. It's always the same sound effect baby giggle, the children look like they're on crack and been switched for changelings. They're all pod people, I tell you! There's something really wrong with a child saying, "Look! My finger is magic!" There's also something cognitively disturbing about a toy called "Magic Touch and Crawl Pooh" or "Mighty Dump". I know it's just ol' Winnie, but it still freaks me. Reminds me of those talking toys better suited to bit parts in Chucky films than a child's toybox.
