Here's another movie I can add to the previous list.
I hadn't seen The Muppet Movie in years before it was rereleased on DVD a few months ago. It was unavailable for a while before that.
Something struck me as strange.
The whole plot of the movie revolves around Kermit's refusal to sell himself out and become a spokesman for Doc Hopper's French Fried Froglegs restaurant. He says he can't get over the thought of millions of frogs on crutches.
Fast forward a few years to the recent ad campaign for Pizza Hut featuring Miss Piggy shilling for what my deepest inner cynic would assume was a ham-lovers pizza.
It isn't really that severe of perfect irony, but it still seems a bit wrong.
