This stupid Burger King ad for Lord of the Rings light-up glasses is enough to make me want to boycott the movie, and take my hardcover boxed set out on the front walk and set it on fire. I hope those of you outside the US are spared this horror.

Yup. You're right. It's US$1 to 3.8 ringgit. Ah... but I here have to take it as a dollar for dollar case. So 350 ringgit would still be expensive for poor me. Haha.. my friend said that the smeargol one freaked her out. But.. the galadriel and gandalf goblet look okay to me. The way Gandalf's beard winds round to form the narrow handle part of the goblet rather amuses me.

Feels blessed that she doesn't have to sufffer from burger king ads

Well, Jennie answered my "Whut's a Ringit?" question.

There's always been LOTR merchandise, of varying levels of legality and quality, but the BK glasses have red light bulbs in the stems, and the TV ads are so obnoxious (obnoxious narrator, stupid puns and 'comedy' Middle Earthers) that I won't try to recount them here. It's shocking when a real trailer for the movie comes on and reminds you that it's got actual cool potential, and doesn't have anybody in the cast who sounds like The Tick.
