Grown men in Boy Scout uniforms, old ladies with really long hair . . . this hilarious book will creep you out.
In his hilarious yet disturbing (because it's so true) book Creepiosity: A Hilarious Guide to the Unintentionally Creepy, comedy writer David Bickel presents readers with 100 of the most unsettling everyday things, such as grown men in Boy Scout uniforms, old ladies with really long hair, fish with people faces, lifelike baby dolls, and much more.
Bickel infuses each subject with comedic insight into what exactly makes it creepy and provides an appropriately hilarious photo to help illustrate his point. And since not all creepiness is created equal, Bickel has invented an unnecessarily complex mathematical formula (or Creepiosity Index, if you will) to quantify each unsettling item's relative creepiness. (Band-Aids that were once affixed to someone's body but now aren't: 7.454.)
However, Bickel also acknowledges that creepiness, universal as it may be, is far from absolute. To that end, he invites readers to assign their own Creepiosity number to these and other curiosities via a companion Web site. (For example, what's more disturbing, hairless cats or Dick Cheney smiling? You decide!)

Creepiosity
Intriguing title. Intriguing premise. These are some things that David Bickel finds creepy - albeit they are unintentionally creepy. So ghosts, demons, vampires - that sort of thing is out.
I did find a few of these funny and I did agree with some of these. Especially Disneyland's "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln". When he compared that with Westworld, I had to laugh out loud. Also true to the mark was his assessment of Glinda the Good Witch and and Hairless Cats.
Of course, I had to disagree with the statement that People Who Drive Really Old Cars are creepy. That's probably because as I write this, I've got a 1920's car in my driveway and a 1930's car in my garage, all ready to be driven at a moment's notice. I did find that the things that applied to me are not in the least bit creepy but other people's hobbies can definitely be creepy.
That being said, I started looking around my house for the items that are unintentionally creepy. I found a ram skull that came from a long deceased junkyard guard sheep. Okay, that creeped out a house guest who didn't want to be in the same room with it and it did give me nightmares for a month. What else? The forgotten Christmas decoration in the window (or is that just cute?), a stack of never watched VHS tapes in the original packaging (creepy, or just the mark of a hoarder?), animal habitats in the dining room (believe it or not, this actually bothers some people).
So, although the book was cute and easy to read, the real charm comes in looking around your own living room, realizing that you are the reason these books are written.
