There is a book I once read that I'd like to find again if I could only remember the title. In it, the skeletons of dead people form armies and begin killing all the living.
One of the major characters is pregnant, the baby dies in the womb, and after a few days it becomes of those hateful things, with very unfortunate results for the mom.
Kind of like the baby in this commercial for Carl's Jr. hamburgers.

I've noticed many times that infants are enacted as "tiny monsters," not of the cute-Pixar-kind, by many in film and entertainment -- that certain "evil grin" thing comes to mind here -- and I am always disappointed to realize how badly intended many perceive children to be, based upon how they're then reflected in entertainment (commercials, films). It's a bad thing.

I thought a hamburger commercial is supposed to make you want to go eat a hamburger.
