Smokey the Bear's gone mobile & Chuck E. Cheese has gone car-razy.
Since I work in the mobile market and have to design banner ads for mobile devices, I have to surfing around on my phone to get references. Yesterday, I came across an ad for Smokey The Bear and the campfire safety ad council. Surprisingly enough, there's a http://www.smokeybearmobile.com. Maybe not surprisingly, actually. Almost everything is going mobile these days, so much that it feels like the 2001 of the internet. Everybody's getting a web site. Smokey's is a microsite that looks a lot better on your phone but eh on your computer browser. Nonetheless, Get Your Smokey On.
Chuck E. Cheese, on the other hand has lost all sense of organization or propriety. Apparently it's It's Brass Knuckles Time at Chuck E. Cheese's according to the Chow.com because the kid's chain has been racking up 911 calls from adults fighting and drawing blood over dumb stuff like turns in line and tokens. They got their info from the original Wall Street Journal article. A main culprit cited for the brawls is the alcohol being served. Yeah, usually combine that with noisy ass kids for 2 hours and I would start throwing animatronic animals too.
