We’ve been wondering about Nokia’s sanity for a while but the company has now made its complete descent into madness official with its latest ad for the Lumia 2520 tablet. The ad involves… well, there’s no easy way to describe it, but it seems to involve a man going into the world’s creepiest barbershop and asking to get a mullet-style haircut from a stylist who makes Sweeney Todd look like a cuddly puppy. 

During the haircut, the barber’s goth-y assistant hands the man a Lumia 2520 to use because… again, everything gets a little fuzzy at this point because we keep blacking out and trying to repress the memory of ever having seen this ad in the first place. What is clear, however, is that we will never look at a Lumia 2520 the same way again, and not in a good way. You can watch the full commercial posted below if you dare.
