Hilarious. |
There are moments in life when a facepalm is needed, and this is 1 of them. |
That totally made my day. Oh god, the irony.  |
Oh yeah, the utter idiocy of some people...

Stateside, AB's commercials are starting to get a lot more TV airplay. The fact that...
a) Last week, it was heavily promoted during CBS' NFL telecasts, and not just commercials--there was a screen "tag" for the "NFL on CBS Astro Boy Skycam," complete with the titular character himself, during one game...
and
b) Even the My Network network aired AB spots during WWE Smackdown this past weekend (yeah _that_ boggles the mind, I know!)...
indicates to me just how highly the producers think of their product to promo it this much, even in "mainstream" avenues, to really build up the anticipation. The "showdown" between Wild Things and Astro Boy at the box office this weekend should be interesting. |
Yeah, the baseball divisional and league championship series, or at least those airing on TBS, have had a "presented by Astro-Boy" stat box pop up at least once or twice a game, and the commercials have been relatively plentiful during them. I'm pleased to see it getting this sort of exposure.

I wonder if I can convince the McD's near me to let me buy all the toys at once. I totally want them.

Too bad the movie doesn't have that.

Doesn't seem wrong to me, I still buy them and I'm older than that ^-^;; Granted, I'm a collector and I still have to buy another two meals or something cause there isn't much food in a Happy Meal but still. |
Fanboys have been doing this for decades.
