George Lucas heavily advertised and merchandized all of the PT movies, but particularly for TPM. Remember all that damn advertising? Taco Bell, KFC, & Pizza Hut were bought into joining in the advertising of TPM and it was just nuts how much crap Lucas shoved down people’s throats.

During that time you couldn’t go anywhere, anytime without being hammered with merchandising on TPM. It seemed like all the TV commercials were designated to that movie during that time and they were all these really annoying, stupid, cringe inducing commercials that made me want to throw something at the screen and shoot george lucas. He had everything imaginable merchandized for this piece of crap. I remember TPM fruit snacks, T-shirts, shoes, flip flops, toys galore, posters, backpacks, pictures of characters from the movie displayed on every Pepsi product, and a jar jar binks popsicle type thingy with his tongue sticking out like GL wants children to give him blow jobs. There were countless other things too. It was sickening.

GL should be ashamed of himself for putting so much money into advertising instead of better things, especially from such crappy movies. He is just a greedy, selfish, arrogant man and he should be embarrassed. Makes you wonder how often he gets out of his ranch (or perhaps that new facility he has in San Diego). Think of the pollution generated from all that crap.


Another fantastic post.


Thank you. I hope you're not being sarcastic?


Oh, I'm being as sarcastic as the intraweb will allow.
