Clearly, Sweden and the U.S. are two very different places.
Here in America, our subway stations have posters advertising mostly normal things like movies, TV shows or clothing companies. In Sweden, on the other hand, they have posters like this one, which casually hangs in the Stockholm subway:

The pic was uploaded to Reddit on Wednesday by Otto Rongedal, a 16-year-old high school student who lives in Stockholm.
"I was waiting for a train to take me back to school, when I saw this," Rongedal told HuffPost. "It gave me the creeps."
Well, no wonder, dude!
The picture is actually a work of art by South African photographer Pieter Hugo, who documented Nigeria's fledgling film industry for a series called "Nollywood." Stockholm's Museum of Photography is currently showcasing Hugo's work.
