Where IS Waldo?

Do you remember Where's Waldo? I do. I remember pouring over them with my little brother, searching for that skinny guy with the ridiculous sweater and matching hat, constantly mistaking him for beach chairs, barber shop poles, and women.

Apparently, so do these guys*. And, they've managed to parody it with something more recent that does seem to bear a sinister similarity. And, well, just try not to laugh. It's just a really good example of what you can do for a book trailer.

Isn't it convenient that we're running a contest about that very thing... Be creative. Try something new. Win a new camcorder so you don't have to steal Aunt Esmeralda's anymore.

*Standard disclaimer: The movie people would give it a higher rating due to language, so viewers, self-censor if that ain't your style.

I always used to laugh during the height of the Waldo craze when we'd get copies of the books returned to the library WITH ALL THE WALDOS CIRCLED!!! I appreciate your sense of accomplishment, but that's just rude. (I also remember the Mad parody with Waldo being the only person in the picture: Waldo in the desert, Waldo at the North Pole...)

Personally I did kinda enjoy finding waldo but then i liked to look for other stuff. For example like the bull going after girlscouts. or a person trapped in a ski pole cage. i also like the octopus attacking the boat. or something that is totally out of place like from the previous page.
syonara!
