Long-Necked Woman is an obscure commercial for a Japanese men's entertainment magazine, Takarajima.
Synopsis[]
In a dark world, we start with a Japanese Yo-Kai known as a Rokurokubi (a woman with a very long neck used commonly in folklore to show a demon spirit) looking around. It's then revealed that she's reading the magazine. Her mouth moves vaguely before twisting her neck. The ad then abruptly cuts to the advertising in Japanese.
Why It's Cursed[]
The Rokurokubi is meant to resemble a demon, making the ad seem menacing. This is also a phobia for many.
Trivia[]
- Amongst several other creepy or odd videos, this ad was featured on Canal 5's Twitter account in Spring 2020 for no given reason.
- It was also a screensaver for Windows 95, according to Chadtronic.
