Questionable Bastardization
Greetings, crickets and ghouls. Welcome to the second annual Picture Clinic Halloween Special. This year's post is a very spooky edition of the Friday Q&A. Thanks for joining me. October 31st is truly the most terrifying day of the year, especially if you're spooked by mass-marketed plastic crap.
Q : What's the most frightening Fark cliche?
A: I would have said the Nutsack Squirrel and his over-zealous lawyers, but the answer is apparently Domo Kun. That character's license was obtained by the Target corporation for use as a Halloween mascot. I'm pretty sure it's the first time a Fark meme has been part of a national ad campaign. This is good news for Domo fans, as a wide range products featuring his likeness are now available.
A: It's likely just a coincidence. I seriously doubt this is some kind of attempt at catering to the Fark demographic. Very few people are Farkers. However, it's always a possibility. Maybe Target's Easter promotion will feature the Pancake Bunny.
Q: Why did they choose Domo Kun?
A: He's apparently the next big thing. Domo Kun is set to debut his own TV show on Nickelodeon. Pretty soon he'll forget all about his old Fark cliche friends and stop taking their phone calls. There's no way that a star like him would bring Ceiling Cat and HaHa Guy to all the limousine jacuzzi sex parties he'll no doubt be attending.
That's all for this time, sinful reader. Best wishes for a happy Halloween! I want to close this post by welcoming any new visitors to the Picture Clinic. Thanks for making me your hate blog of choice.
Stay tuned for more vague platitudes from the Doctor!
