In 1985, Japanese television viewers began complaining extensively about a Kleenex tissues commercial they found to be extremely unsettling. The commercial featured a strange and grumpy red demon child sitting on a bale of hay while a young woman attempted to cheer it up with a floating tissue, all to the tune of Jane and Barton’s 1983 song “It’s a Fine Day”. Whether the campaign actually moved tissues in Japan is unknown. What is known is that it did move Japanese viewers to call for the commercial to be taken off of the air.
According to some, the curse of the Kleenex commercial began with the crew. The cameraman was said to have been burned to death in a bizarre sauna malfunction that sounds like it could have come from a FINAL DESTINATION film. Some have even said that by the time the commercial aired the entire crew was already dead, each one killed in a bizarre yet accidental manner.
