Possibly the worst marketing campaign ever

Cadbury chocolate spent 6.2 million Euros on a marketing campaign that features a gorilla playing the drums in Phil Collin's song "In the Air Tonight". It's being called a "90 second film" by Cadbury. FILM? You have to be kidding me.

I have always been a firm believer that everything is better with monkeys. You take a situation and add monkeys and it is funny and entertaining. The online game "Bloons" has monkeys throwing darts at balloons. Brilliant! Add a monkey as a side kick to Clint Eastwood...movie magic! My faith in the "A monkey makes it better" idea is damaged beyond repair. I may never eat Cadbury again.

Seriously addictive game


You are a monkey who throws darts at balloons. Some are pin balloons that pop other balloons. Some are lightsaber balloons. Some are ice balloons that freeze ballons next to them, etc. This just proves my theory that everything is better if it has a monkey involved.

The basic game is here: http://www.addictinggames.com/bloons.html

The seriously hard version is here: http://www.awfulgames.com/games/bloons_player_pack_1/
