Feature Game For 2005-03-07
The Greatest Show Is Earth
http://www.thegreatestshowisearth.com

Today's featured game is not really a game, it's one of those weird little Widgets that only the Internet could spawn. If you ever saw the creepy guy in the chicken suit at http://www.subservientchicken.com/ that would follow commands that you typed, then today's game will be familiar.

Somewhat deceptively titled The Greatest Show IS Earth this widget is a promotion for a travel company. Unlike the creepy chicken guy in this you are helping blonde hottie, Holly pack her bags for holiday. The object is that if you guess a certain four object you win some sort of travel contest, But the fun is in seeing all the crazy stuff that you can make Holly pack.

Like the chicken guy, the authors have tried to think of every sicko, demented thing that you're likely to type in. Short of really obscure or really naughty things, Holly is ready for you and fields most of your request in the most humorous way possible. Try typing in "knife" for example prompts an appearance by Edward Scissorhands. What we don't get is the weird title of the site and the creepy leering busker guy and curtains surrounding Holly's room. Oh Well.

We like the thing because it's even more funny and less creepy than other widgets of this type. And Holly is an awfull lot easier on the eyes than creepy chicken guy.
