SIMPSONS CHARACTER TAKES TO THE LONDON SKIES |
OK, so we're not sure if it was worth spending $75m to make a film with basically one gag, but 'The Simpsons Movie' has reportedly grossed over $500m so far so what do we know.
So, if you're in South West London tomorrow morning with nothing better to do, head down to Battersea Power Station where a double decker bus-sized inflatable Spider Pig will be moored to the roof of the iconic power station to recreate the 1977 Pink Floyd stunt for the sleeve of their 'Animals' album (and promote the release of the Simpsons Movie DVD). And who says PR is a worthless occupation?
Thirty years ago, the Pink Floyd pig broke loose and caused havoc for air traffic controllers when it rose to 20,000ft so this time there is apparently a SAS-trained marksman on hand to plug the fucker if he tries to make a run for it.
There must be some puns in this story...
Batter(ed sausage)sea Power Station?
Pork Pie (in the sky)?
