Nightastic!

No, Alex is right. It looks like a moderately animated car sale balloon. But that's better than head-on-a-broomstick. The headlight eyes make it look especially cartoonish and silly. And it definitely has the cuddly look of an inflatable. I guess we're just lucky it's not a giant plush.

Getting the fire-breathing part down is going to be important. The dragon looked really cool for those moments right after the non-happening blast when it was snorting smoke. It also looked cool when it was being zapped by, yes, the Brave Wittle Taywor. If it moved a good deal quicker during the 23 seconds between those two moments, I think it would be a rousing success.

As it was, the cheering last night was as much, if not more, for the appearance after interminable and ironic* delay as it was for the dragon's actual performance. Certainly the non-fire breathing was a notable let-down to the obviously fan-based crowd. So the cheers and screams were likely for Just.Showing.Up.

* hehe, finally premiering about a week after the Summer Nightastic promotion ended

You made me gasp, for real!

That's ok - just this week I realized why Madonna's greatest hits CD is called "the Immaculate Collection". Duh.

And I just recently got the pun in the "Above the Influence" anti-weed campaign (irony duly noted).

So with the long delayed reveal of Murphy, how were they marketing him?

Dragon shaped flashlights? Balloons? What?
