London, England (CNS) - Amy Winehouse doesn't only appear on tabloids these days, a latest survey shows that she also haunts Britons' nightmares.
According to a survey given to 3,500 people conducted by hotel chain Travelodge, the "Rehab" hitmaker is the top public figure that scares her countrymen through their dreams, even beating out eerie Marilyn Manson.
Others who made it to the Top 10 list are Pete Doherty, The Cheeky Girls, Heather Mills, and Simon Cowell. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling are also terrifying the British people.
A separate question also shows that being chased, losing a loved one, being jobless, homeless or broke are common nightmare occurrences in people.
Travelodge's Leigh McCarron explains, "It's no wonder Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling are making a special appearance in our nightmares at the moment, both symbolize the fears we are facing in today's economy."
The respondents claim that they sometimes wake up sweating, in a panic, crying, or shaking when they are having nightmares.
The top 10 public figures who appear in nightmares are:
1) Amy Winehouse
2) Marilyn Monroe
3) Gordon Brown
4) Pete Doherty
5) The Cheeky Girls
6) Simon Cowell / Kerry Katona
7) Cherie Blair
8) Jodie Marsh
9) Heather Mills
10) Alistair Darling
OMG, some things you just can’t unsee! SCARY
“Carrot top’
AAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
One individual who will never look good naked.
(And thank God that picture crops off where it does.)
And if OC is Ocean City, Maryland, go stuff a Bull On The Beach sammich down your yap in my honor. We were supposed to hook up with my sister and bro-in-law there tomorrow (he's a county gummint pooh-bah attending an economic summit), but family medical issues precluded the trip. Damn, I wanted a stack o' pit beef on a roll. S' Ok, tho - I'll hide my sorrow in St. Augustine Beach this weekend, whilst shoving a Hooked On Harry's mahi sammich down my throat. LOL
Nope. Orange County, California. (Actually, I live in Riverside and commute down there now, but I lived there when I joined FR.)
The food does look good though. I’ll definitely have to keep that in mind if I ever get back there.
