Monopoly Here & Now

Look at the new Monopoly—the logo gleams like a brand new car (as Strong Bad would say, "make it fast n' slick n' shiny, dip it in molten plexiglass...") and the board pieces have been revamped into 21st century consumer icons like McDonald's fries, Starbucks coffee, and a Motorola Razr. Misha Cornes of Three Minds @ Organic calls this "more proof of the importance of advertising and consumer brands in popular culture." [Thanks *g]
