Apparently Burger King has a new promotion going with Viva Pinata. Buy a kids meal, get a colorful, game-related hunk of plastic. Not a new idea, or even a bad one, though other blogs sound pretty down on it. Maybe it’s because the last thing video games need is to be associated with low brow, fast food, throw-away culture–or just because these particular toys look pretty darn cheap. Either way, I’m the sucker who’s actually excited. I mean, look at that crocodile (I’m sorry, Cocoadile). Creepy, adorable, and so collectible! If I weren’t living in a country where the closest thing to Burger King was 17,000 “McDo’s,” I would totally be in line with the rest of the greasy children, keeping my fingers crossed I didn’t get Goobaa. He’s scary–and I mean that in the bad way.  Still: ooh, the colors!
