I gota little frisky and creative tonight, and almost decided to post this
over to ShadowTK for the hell of it, but decided it was a little too silly
and was better off being spammed over to ShadowRN. But I still wanted to
share. Enjoy.

((BTW: In case you don;t figure it out, it's a send up of the latest
holiday toy craze, the Furby Doll. if you don;t know what that is, I
really envy you.))

"Tales from the Shadows will be back after these messages..."

[Snappy music and a happy blue cartoon dragon appear on screen. The dragon
dances around the screen happily as a deep, clear voice speaks.]

"Dunkelzahn was a lovable, wonderful, magical dragon who changed so many
lives and made the world a better place for everyone! While it's sad that
now deceased, Dunkelzahn and his spirit live on!"

[Cartoon dissolves to a picture of a 3 year old ork holding a stuffed blue
dragon.]

"Now, you can bring the magic home to your children this holiday season
with Dunky, the Interactive Dragon! Using state of the art technology,
Dunky sings, laughs and responds to your child, teaching them the message
of love, hope, and peace that our beloved former president brought to
everyone."

"Get your Dunky at all fine Toy Stores, Department Stores, Magic Shops, and
Grocery Stores everywhere!"

[Closing happy song with the cartoon Dunkelzahn flyinga round, then a final
still shot of a smiling 4 year old elf girl hugging her Dunky doll]

[Fade to black]
