A few recent photos that suddenly seemed to share a theme:
Two ads inadvertently juxtaposed in Entertainment Weekly. Maybe the model was hungry.
Update: Commenter Mark Simonson points out that the left-side ad is a fake, meant to draw attention to the right side ad. The web address provided for the lipstick product goes to a page about the food product. Clearly, I should have thought a little harder about this one!
Fingernails worshiping at the foot of that false idol, Sally Hanson (seen at Walgreen's, Roseville, Minnesota).
Hideously amputated digits, displaying something, but I'm not sure what. (In the window of a nail salon in Roseville, Minnesota.)

Yikes! I'm staying out of Roseville!
Wow. What a collection.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the ad on the left in the first example is fake. It's part of the ad on the right, but designed to look unrelated. If you go to the web address in the lipstick ad, it takes you to the sponsor of the ad on the right.
I guess their trick worked--it got your attention.
Clever trick there, on the lipstick ad.
I do think Hideous Digits might be a good name for a garage band.
I'm with Carmella--if I saw those repulsive digits in the window, I'd run the other way too!
Hideous Digits... appearing next year at SXSW.
