I can't work out if this is very cool or very weird...
Apparently last year VB Beer ran a marketing campaign based on a 'talking' plastic figurine of walrus-like Aussie cricket legend David Boon (I kid you not).Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, these plastic figures were linked to the cricket and 'came alive' in response to adverts or signals during matches.
This year Boony is back and this time he's got a friend - Ian Botham (although the Beefy figure looks like it has jaundice). A fellow blogger has posted us a link to this site which explains all....
BOONY UPDATE:
Apparently there were also a number of technical problems with the Boonies.

Thanks for the link. Last years Boonys worked basically all around a timing chip. The chips timer seemed to reset to Zero and start counting again. Therefor the timer got to the time when they should start to wake up, they did and started talking.
From what I have read, they have thought of this and have used this to there advantage (like unlocking stuff after time. On my site there is videos of the first week of sayings and the second week which are different).
