In the pantheon of ingenious early marketing schemes, this has got to be the most inspired... and also the creepiest.

(Can we get a wellness check on Jordan Peele?)


Media and entertainment types all over the country got a very special package this week from none other than Key and Peele star and Oscar-winning Get Out creator Jordan Peele.

Inside the package?

A pair of golden scissors, and a very, very ominous note.

"On December 25, join the untethering," the note reads, before closing with: "Watch yourself."

Uhhhh...yikes?

There's also a URL provided, that apparently personalizes the message.

How charming! Except yikes!

Seriously someone check on Jordan Peele!

The stunt is a teaser promo for Peele's Get Out follow-up, Us. According to Entertainment Weekly, the film follows a couple, played by Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke, who take their children to Nyong'o's character Adelaide's childhood home in a beachside California town for the summer.

Adelaide is haunted by a past trauma. After a day at the beach with another couple, played by Elizabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker, she becomes increasingly paranoid that something horrific will befall her family.

After they return home that night, Adelaide and her family see four figures holding hands at the end of their driveway and please excuse me because I had a recurring nightmare as a child about exactly that driveway thing so I need to go scream into a pillow now!

Anyway EW also released a few choice first-looks at the film that are definitely, um, extremely unsettling.

Especially this one. Call me "triggered"!

But also, TAKE MY MONEY JORDAN PEELE.

Coupled with these images it sounds like this whole thing is going to be full-tilt terrifying and the internet is full-tilt here for it!




But the stunt left those not lucky enough to receive this murderous parcel drowning in anticipation and jealousy!










Same, Tatiana, same.

Anyway, no word as yet exactly how the golden shears tether to the story (see what I did there?), but seems like the jealousy alone will be driving plenty of people to the box office in March!

Model Speaks Out After United Airlines Flight Attendant Body-Shamed Her Mid-Flight

Three things are true: many people take flights every day in the U.S., many Americans are overweight, and people often make a habit of offering completely unsolicited advice to larger individuals in completely the wrong way and in utterly inappropriate circumstances.

Supermodel Tess Holliday was unfortunately the victim of all of these elements converging during a recent flight with her child on United Airlines.

Young Girl's School Presentation About Her 'Hero' Charlie Kirk Has People Sounding Off

MAGA X user @sola_chad sparked a heated debate after sharing footage of his daughter's school presentation about an "inspiring hero"—none other than the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was assassinated last month while speaking at a university in Utah; the suspect was caught after a two-day manhunt and has since been charged. The Trump administration has used Kirk's death as an opportunity to crack down on free speech rights and to target and blame leftists for Kirk's murder, even though the shooter is aligned with the far-right.

MAGA Actor Rob Schneider Gets Blunt Fact-Check After Making Bonkers Claim About Children's Hospitals

Actor Rob Schneider was bluntly fact-checked after making the bizarre claim that children's hospitals did not exist when he was a child himself, suggesting that kids "weren't sick" back then.

That claim is par for the course from Schneider, a prominent anti-vaxxer who once campaigned against a bill in California requiring parents to get a doctor's signature if they choose not to vaccinate their children and was dropped from a State Farm ad campaign after claiming, among other things, that vaccines are "against the Nuremberg laws."
