If you're feeling sinister

We're watching tv on mute for a few moments:

The eerily glowing, massive moth drifts through a carelessly open window. A woman is lying awake in bed, brow furrowed. The moth lands on her chest, and immediately her eyes drop closed, and her head slumps to one side.

Boy: Did that thing just steal her soul??

Nope. It's just a sinister Lunesta commercial. Look for it. The guy in the tent actually rolls his eyes up toward the back of his head before collapsing. Brrr.

We speculated that that's actually how the medication works. The Moth of Death steals your soul for the night, and the arch-villains at Lunesta use it temporarily toward their evil ends. In the morning, your soul is returned, and you wake up feeling refreshed, yet somehow...unsettled.

Or maybe not.

This is really funny. I love Boy's immediate thought about soul stealing. Of course! What else would some scary moth (aka Flappy Agent of Evil) be doing in your room late at night? And I can actually believe that drug companies would love to get their hands on our souls.

Ha! I knew it. I'm not the only one who believes in the Lunesta moth-of-death... did you notice they recently released a new commercial showing the victims waking in the morning? Apparently even the marketing folks realized how sinister their creation was... :)
