Team Edward or Team Jacob – Have It Your Way at Burger King

from nytimes.com:

A promotional campaign for the third “Twilight” movie at Burger King takes advantage of the rivalry between “Twilight” fans enamored of the two main male characters.

The campaign, scheduled to get under way on Monday, supports a game that Burger King customers can play, which is linked to the next movie, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” due to be released by Summit Entertainment next Friday.

The game has two panels, one labeled “Team Edward,” after the vampire heartthrob, and the other labeled “Team Jacob,” after the hottie werewolf. In the campaign, dueling devotees of the two characters are seen marching into a Burger King restaurant, urging customers to play the game by scratching off the panel with their favorite character.

As much as I love the Cullens, I’ve got to admit that it would be a lot of fun to portray one of the bad vamps.  To be able to cut loose of morality for a while and have an excuse to be bad seems like it would be a lot of fun.  *grins big evil grin*

OME!!!  I would kill for Peter Facinelli’s home.  I wish that I had an extra $6 million in the bank so that I could buy it!
