Brain Stuff….

Your brain can forget the unpleasant stuff : here

Stay out of the smog….it can kill your brain.

Oh yah…and Sony stuff. Sony packs 45 hours of music on a mini-disk.

Lord of the Rings: Marketing By Sauron

Thursday, January 8th, 2004

Sauron lives, and he does toy marketing. From the Eye that brought you orcs and ringwraiths, try some of these middle-earthy products:

- The most respected wizard character ever written in fantasy literature is now immortalized with a oversized, spring-loaded noggin: Gandalf as a Bobble Head. Perfect next to the Taco Bell dog in the back window of your ‘87 Ford Escort hatchback.

- Why use “plush” just for cuddly teddy bears when you can use it in the recreation of a gangly, maniacal, schitzophrenic murderer? Get thee a Talking Gollum Plush Doll. I’m sure the kiddies will sleep so much better at night with this thing under their pillow.

- But for the coup-de-grace of creepy toys, there can be nothing so horrifying as the Lord of the Rings Barbie and Ken set.

The very effort of containing Barbie and Tolkien in the same thought… I had to take three Legolas Elven Action Migraine Relief Tablets to stave off the ensuing headache.

If 3.5 hours was good, 4.25 hours must be better!

Word on the streets in Denmark is that the Extend-O-Happiness DVD version of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King will be a whopping 4 hours and 15 minutes:

Possible running time for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Extended Edition DVD

At least with a DVD you can pause it to recycle that 64oz coke you drank. Not to mention refills on popcorn.
