Why Don't They Make Cereal of Every Movie + TV Show Anymore?

Rate this Entry
So I have my last paper evar (or at least for Undergrad) due tomorrow, and I've had jack shit to do since classes ended over a week ago. Naturally I have barely anything done and am procrastinating SEVERELY again and am looking at MORE CEREAL IMAGEDUMPS/"ARTICLES" on Buzzfeed, so obviously need to make random blog post. Because this is how I choose to live my life.

But yeah, this needs to get going again.





Seriously, WHERE IS THE GREAT GATSBY CEREAL?

    This is just a sequel to Batman Steals Cereal.

    Because we can't advertise sugary cereal to children - that's unhealthy, and wrong. You see, parents have no authority in their families, so the children will just gorge on it and become obese. . . Or so the reasoning goes.

    That's why they eliminated a lot of the classic mascots from commercials - you never see the Trix Rabbit anymore, for example. Or Sugar Bear, or - well, you get the idea. Personally, I think it's another copout for adults to dodge responsibility in raising their children.

    I did see the Trix Rabbit recently. Don't know what planet you're on.

    Maybe you don't see them because you are not a child and do not watch children's TV. Just a thought.

    Yeh they still whore the crap out of that rabbit, and Lucky, and anything they can feasibly put a mascot on

    and they did have a Spiderman cereal for the movie last year, but that was a kinda rare occurrence I guess. Seriously, why couldn't we have a DKR cereal, or avengers, or fucking iron man
    THE MARKETING WRITES ITSELF

    Actually, I do watch a fair bit, though admittedly not as much as I used to. But there was actually a whole crackdown on regulations a year or two ago, regarding what could and couldn't be marketed - and cereal (and fast food) mascots were on the THOU SHALT NOT list. It's why you never really see the McClown on TV any more.

    *Sigh* I miss my childhood.

    You're nostalgic for advertising.

    Nostalgia is so goddamn stupid.

    Koto, where do you think you are? We all still watch children's TV. All the time.

    Leading to the classic conversation between Bugs and Daffy in "Space Jam."

    Koto should stop replying to Human Discussions since she has already ascended to Goddess Level.

    Stick to God/Goddess Tier Discussions Wakame

    Yes but we download our children's TV shows like adults. Why wait until Adventure Time comes on when you can marathon the whole series at any time.
