TV Squad Daily with Brigitte - VIDEO
Today on TV Squad Daily:
- Forgotten boy band members may be joining together to form a new pop group for a VH1 reality series in spring 2007.
- Rapper "The Game" challenged WWE wrestler "The Game" to a fight (a real one) over their shared name.
- A letter writing campaign is convincing stores to stop selling Drinko, a drinking game inspired by The Price is Right's game Plinko.
Target, Kohl's stop sales of Price Is Right-inspired game
I have to admit that when I heard the name of this board game, I laughed.
Both Target and Kohl's have pulled Drinko off of their shelves. If you haven't already guessed, Drinko is the booze version of the classic Price Is Right game Plinko (the one where the contestant drops giant chips down a board and it bounces around and lands in a dollar amount). They've been getting a lot of complaints from various groups that say the game promotes binge drinking.
This isn't the only board game with the drinking theme. Other games include Shots and Ladders and Keg Pong.
This could inspire a PIR drinking game itself. Maybe taking a shot every time Bob Barker doesn't hear what a contestant says? Or maybe a shot when a contestant does something stupid? Nah, you won't last too long.
