That's rather cool.

Although to be clear: print media is dying, that's why there are adverts for it.

I'm imagin Prime's checking the obituaries to see if he's in there...

That IS cool. Looks like a Hasbro public service/good p.r. campaign.

And, you're probably right, Dalek... unless he read your recent proposed scenario, and he's looking for good cake recipies which he and Leader-1 can bake up...

as a world famous celebrity it's hard for prime to keep dark secrets about himself out of the press but I just could not keep my silence any longer:

Prime never learned how to read.

That's pretty cool. How many non-TF places has the 20th Ann. Prime used in now? The Robot Chicken sketch, the Canadian cell phone ad, and now this...

And am I the only one who gets eyeache for seeing those shortened smokestacks?

Hours of fun editing the headlines.
