Broken: Wal-Mart "Quick and Delicious" meal solutions CD

This is a picture of the cover of a CD that was given out for free at Wal-Mart.

It reads, "Quick and Delicious meal solutions" above the picture of the dancing, happy penguin. This make you wonder just what the main ingredient of the recipes will be.

Chicken fingers, buffalo wings...why not penguin toes?

You're right, this is really grisly. Looks like no one gave this much real thought.

The real WTF: It actually says "Fresh ideas for frozen happy feet."

Huh.

LKM is right, and even without the "happy feet" there it says, "fresh ideas for frozen." What's that supposed to mean.

Don't question what you eat. Just smile and dance, like the penguin.

how is this broken? you'd have to be a moron to be confused and/ or offended by this!

Hmm...

I see the problem. They're trying to promote a movie about penguins with a recipe CD.

A recipe cd seems fairly innocuous when you compare it with some of the other cross-promotional efforts that Happy Feet took on. How about pharmaceuticals? http://www.flufacts.com/

Of course, penguins + the flu = marketing gold....or maybe not.

I'm tired of all the damn penguin movies.

"Fresh Ideas for Frozen Happy Feet!" :P

Not to mention it says in the white print that it has Happy Feet trading cards (?) and recipes. What?

Oh, yeah. The penguin movies are a bit cute, but they are boring and predictable. The only funny part about Happy Feet was the "Mexican" penguins.

i think the graphic designer screwed up. cause that doesn't really make sense.

that is kinda funny

mmmmm deep fried penguin feet lol

Zolo1243, people who are offended by the misuse of the English language are not morons. Plus, the fact of the matter is that the marketing people for Wal*Mart and the film "Happy Feet" put a penguin on the cover of a recipe CD. That would be like putting a seal on the cover of a fur coat catalog.

That said, I'd like to see if they have any stew recipes for Emperor Penguin...
