Slum Dog Millionaire Action Figures?

re rumors swirling that somewhere over the slumbow Slum Dog Millionaire action-figures might rise from the slums onto store shelves?

Enjoy the music as you soak in the absurdity


Probably not going to find them at Toys r' Us any time soon ... BUT... from a completely political satire POV one can only imagine how the idea could be used to really hammer home the issue of the alleged exploitation of the people and places used in the film.

Mickey D's could take note:

Maybe McFoodPoison's could come out with a 'Not So Happy Meal' Or the 'Starving Kid Drop into the Excrement Game'

Washington Post: "Some in the Indian media have called the movie "a poverty tour" that turns a profit by using India's slums as its cinematic backdrop."

Why stop there..? There's millions to be made with the 'Kid that wants an autograph doll with life-like shit smell on it'... 'Or pin the tail on the blind beggar'



or maybe the... 'Build the Shanty Town with Playing Cards' game:



I guess if 'My Dinner With Andre' Action Figures are fair game... anything goes.



Just tack on a music video at the end and it's all good. See... they're happy after all! It was all pretend!

P.S. We wouldn't want you to be left with the images we so effectively burnt into your minds (of the real suffering) we took advantage of to make this movie.

Kerosene Cans Stacked by Gumball Machine = FAIL

Nothing like 5 Gallon Kerosene cans reeking of fumes to enhance your child's gum buying experience. 

That was the case at this local hardware store. 

I walked over to give my kids some quarters and was immediately overcome by severe kerosene fumes emanating from these innocuous looking 5 gallon cans. Some genius at the store apparently decided this was a good a place as any to stack them. 

I fought to get the last piece of gum from the machine before we practically passed out and snapped this picture as we fled -- we all ended up with headaches.

The last honest pizza?

What I don't know is -- was 9/11 an inside job? I'm not necessarily ruling it out... still a lot of unanswered questions and I suppose anything was possible under the Bush Administration.

What I do know is -- defacing some RoundTable Pizza Parlor hidden in an extremely obscure corner of a boring shopping center in rural Podunk, USA was probably not the best choice for reaching the heights of visibility the rebels were dreaming of.

I'm not condoning it -- but perhaps an abandoned freeway billboard or better yet... spell it on the beach with naked people... but seriously, Roundtable?

Art thou mad?

So are we to assume then, that the graffiti was tarketing pizza eaters and beer drinkers?

Come to think of it they could prove to be a formidible army between lunch and dinner.
