Have YOU seen this man in your dreams?
 

I find this to be, if legit, very disturbing.

Nope, can't say that I have.

No but his picture made my toes tingle in a creeped out sort of way.

He kinda looks like David Berkowitz. Creepy.

Why did I click on it? :(

Why did I click on this thread again? Dammit.

No, but I wonder how many people only dreamed about him after clicking that link. My guess would be about 2,000.

LOL. What's with his unibrow?

And what does he do in the dream?

Unibrow
 

It's Burt!

They say he helps, assists and/or comforts the dreamer. The pics on that page are creepy but apparently its a positive encounter. I never remember my dreams, so I have no idea if I've ever seen him.

This article says the url traces back to "Italian sociologist and marketing expert, Andrea Natella, who’s made a career out of studying hoaxes".

I would think that the features are generic enough and dream memories are fuzzy enough that most people would see that and say yes, they've seen him in their dreams. Kind of like the Psycho 101 exercise where you take a personality test and are given results and have to write/talk about how accurate they are. After people attest to their amazing accuracy, you discover that they were randomly distributed and are generic descriptions that most people will relate to in some way.

The podcast that brought this story to my attention mentioned how it might be viral marketing, but for what nobody knows. Unibrow's maybe?

Eeeew! That face creeps me out! (and I don't know why).

maybe because one of the only distinguishing features is his megabrow.

there are some things missing, too.

the sketch has a very wide mouth, but no smile lines.

there's no neck. just about all of the sketch artists' composites i've ever seen on the news has a neck.


viral marketing can be creepy AND effective.

k, i'm not clicking that link. i'm too nightmare prone for that. :p

That man is going to give me nightmares now... I didn't expect to scroll down to him!

HOLY SHIPS..that face is creepy as hell!!!!!!

*shudders* Creeeeeeeeeeepy!

A) Creepy. Never seen him before but I'll probably have nightmares now.

B) I don't know if it's just me, but when I clicked on that link, my anti-virus and anti-malware programs went absolutely apeshit with alerts that they were trying to block the site from downloading trojans.

Could it be . . . The Man from Another Place?

Why do I want pie all of a sudden?

Of the dreams that I can remember, he was NOT in them. :) I win.

I think that face looks creepily demonic.

Thank you! My computer went nuts and it's still not right. I think we should remove that link from this thread.

I took the link out of my original post, sorry to anyone out there that picked up a virus or trojan from the link. I didn't have any issues myself going on that site, it might be because I have a Mac.

I didn't have any issues with it either and my virus stuff is pretty good. Then again, I clicked on it when it was first posted, so maybe the virus is new? Better safe than sorry!

ETA: He looks like one of those guys that's featured on I Love the 80s on VH1. I wish I knew his name so that I could post a pic...

I don't have any problems but I have a Mac too.

This is just serving as the perfect reminder for why my next computer purchase will be a mac.

Nothing on Snopes.

But let me ask another question - Why is Snopes the only site that still gives me popups no matter what popup blocker I had (on a PC) and now on a MAC?

WTF?

I don't go on snopes much, but the only website that I get pop ups on is the El Paso Times.

-Just went on snopes and got 4 popups!

Get it! Once you go Mac, you never go back!

He looks like he's wearing lipstick.
