When you stay at Country Inn you get a free bag of Lemony Snicket goodies... They've crossed the line with the hotel promotions... That's what happened to Shrek. Burger King... I don't really have a problem with the BK toys. I trust that.
PROMOTIONS SO FAR:
Burger King Country Inn

Where did you hear of this? I heard that they give out children's books which include Lemony's books. Hotel promotions are a bad sign. I'm not sure what they're a sign of, but it's bad.

Saw a commercial. *shudders* It was like... a big happy family in a hotel room, and the kids enjoying themselves and their ASOUE games and books... Yuck. 'Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events - The Bad Beginning Available May 1st, 2004... Didn't understand that.

I would go there butI don't need to and I am morbidly afraid of hotels and motels after that special I watched on TV.

I have a question... Is there a book called 'The Marvelouse Marriage' It's included in that package... I'm not sure if it's a book, or just a picture... I've seen the picture on the net, and have no idea what it is!!!

Yuck. This is not good. Wait a minute... Make Country Inns & Suites By Carlson® your family summer adventure headquarters. Carlson? That's the company my mom works at. Her company made this uber sappy ASOUE package. The horror.

Terribly fun games for the kids: Count Olaf's Word Search Frantic Fill in the Blanks Trading Cards Aren't those the same games that are on Lemony's official site? (lemonysnicket.com for those currently living under rocks). For some reason I find this vaguely notable.

.. Where did you hear LS and Burger King are hooking up? If you can fidn it, link it. I feel an undying need to know what kiddie-toys will do to Lemony's masterpieces.
Oh, and nice goodie-bag. ALMOST makes me want to stay at Country Inn. *Cough* Maybe I can give 'em 20 bucks to get a free bag. : D

You know, it almost sounds like they WON'T have the Lemony toys in the US. But I find that HIGHLY unlikely. Handler is US born and raised. His books are published here. The movie was made here. Why would they NOT release the toys here too.
I am assuming that they will be here. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I'm teetering somewhere between "logically assuming" and "desparately hoping" that the toys will be released in the US.

If they're not in Helquist style I'm gonan stock up on them.. And burn them. I hate it when things are in the styles of the movie-characters! Like the Harry Potter thing, alot of promotions had either different styles or movie-screen-shots.
