The Cute and Potentially Creepy Mary Had a Little Lamp

The Mary Had a Little Lamp light fixture is pretty adorable. When propped in a corner it resembles a child (with a lamp shade for a hat) looking downwards (perhaps at an educational tome). This little lamp can keep anyone company on a solitary night where all you want is to curl up with a good book.
I, however, was a little disturbed to see one of the accompanying images for the Mary Had a Little Lamp.
