Trip Down Mass Marketing, Media Tie-In Lane
So, I’m listening to Virgin Radio on-line this morning, and “Star Wars” Episode III has already debuted in London (5/16/05), and there is supposed to be an interview with C-3PO at some point today (evening London time). It got me thinking about C-3PO and all the merchandising Star Wars has generated…a memory came to me, and of course a Google search has come through once again…
Do you remember these things? As I recall, they were basically Cheerios in the shape of a digital looking 8, slightly sweetened, and total horseshite….and I had to have them. Especially since there was usually a cheap cut-out cardboard mask on the back of the box…ah the memories. Can’t wait to see Episode III on Thursday at 12:01 A.M…does this make me a dork? I won’t be wearing any costumes, or reciting any lines. However, I may hit on a couple of Princess Leia’s…if they are dressed a la Return of the Jedi…
One thought on “From Monty”
No, it does not make you a dork but it does make you a geek. Dork and geek are the same; both are regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy, however only geek implies scientific or technical pursuits (care of Dictionary.com).
