That was oddly creepy and disturbing.

So, was that supposed to be sarcastic? I sure hope it was. I actually got a good giggle out of it. My guys were standing behind me watching it and tsking and saying "bullcrap". They were thoroughly disgusted.

I'm quite certain it was meant as parody in the style of a brainwashing or indoctrination video of some sort. I think it was well done and eery.

Creepy, eerie, downright scary is right! And, I think some folks believe it is our patriotic duty to shop.
