This is probably a borderline OT observation, but I thought I'd make it on
the general list, anyway:
Did anyone notice the (US national) circulars this week?
First, don't get me started on the awful job Toys "R" Us did of labeling the
Lego sets.
Second, and to me, much more interesting: Target had a circular featuring
Halloween costumes for the kids. And one kid was dressed, predictably, as
Harry, complete with robes (with a crest, even) and the glasses... and the
temp tattoo scars they've had for a couple years now. But what was
interesting was that, rather than dead center on his forehead, Target had
placed the scar tattoo to the right of his head, over his right eye. It's
still the same lightening shape on all the other (pre-movie and movie)
merchandising, but the placement has been adjusted to bring it in line with
Daniel Radcliffe's makeup in the movie.
How weird/cool/predictable/scary is that?
