Of course, I love comedy/tragedy masks and have a collection of over 100 pairs, so my sense could be skewed. The billboard just didn't look like anything for Mommies to get their undies in a bunch over.
I think it was just a way for them to get some publicity at no expense to the group!!

It should only be a matter of time before they start complaining again....

Here is a site with the radio ads: click here. Since we all know they actually won't change the station or turn down the volume when they hear it in the car.


Light travels faster than sound. Perhaps that is why people appear bright until they open their mouth.

Awesome ad! The Burger King version reminded me of what REALLY scares me...that horrifying plastic-faced Creepy King. He really needs to have his own scare zone at USF.

I think Universal made these on purpose KNOWNING Soccer moms would get upset, start contreversy, and make people curious about it. I know I probably wouldn't be into Harry Potter if people wern't complaining that it was "Santanic"

Hey,
Did you know that Disney just bought out Unversal Studios and Sea World?
Disney is leaving the parks alone. :twisted:

That reminds me - we apparently had a guy in a Burger King mask come to the Blue Man show a few days ago. Now THAT'S scary! :confused:

We went to see the Blue Man Group last year. It was allot of fun. Now if they would go on tour and come to Anaheim. They had me laughing so hard that I cried. :eek:

There's a permanent theater/Blue Man Group in Chicago that I saw a few years back when we still lived there. Great show, but I'm suffering post traumatic stress from my trip to the restroom. Not sure if they have the same thing in Orlando, but they had this catchy, repetitive tune piped in that went, "Bathroom...bathroom...Blue Man Lobby Bathroom...Bathroom..." on and on and on. Still can't get it out of my head to this day.
