In these two strange ads for Norway's 1888 telephone directory, a supremely sadistic boy glues a woman's hair to an end table and launches a cat out a window. (Don't worry-- no cats were harmed in the filming of whatever this craziness is.)

It's anybody's guess how these ads are meant to promote a phone directory service. If anything, they've convinced us never to call anyone in Norway.

Are these ads appropriate for television? Watch below and decide.
