--When this one first landed on my desk, I thought it was from The Onion. Instead, it is about an onion. And Shrek. You know, the movie character. Here, let the press release tell it:
What do ogres and onions have in common? Both will be in produce aisles this spring and summer enticing kids and parents to eat more Vidalias & other veggies! The Vidalia Onion Committee has partnered with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc....to promote the original sweet onion in conjunction with the release of Shrek Forever After, premiering May 21 nationwide in 3D and IMAX and other local theaters.
Consider yourself informed.
