If Clive Barker made ads for massage balm
Have you ever wanted to soothe your aching muscles by piercing your fingers through your own skin and rubbing the sinewy flesh beneath? Nope, me either. This disturbing ad for Harnn Massage Balm (more executions here and here) is supposedly from Thailand’s Y&R Bangkok. I say supposedly because I just can’t imagine the media buy for this would extend beyond a few obscure fetishist magazines and Hellraiser fan-club newsletters. Via Ads of the World.
