It's just a commercial, for eggs, but OMG!

I love you egg. If you're at work, turn your speakers down (unless you want your co-workers to think you're insane). And if you want the Korean version, try I love you egg, in Korean (click the first balloon under the blue cloud in the upper right corner to start the animation).

The animation for the two versions is similar but different.

Are you still with me? Good.

Because that's not a production of the Korean Egg Council--it's iloveegg! There's licensed characters and a comic book; both based (apparently) on a clay-animation cartoon produced in Korea.

So, the whole thing is designed to appeal to young minds (or immature minds, like mine) and get them to pester their parents to spend money. Presumably, there are licensed character toys, just like Pokemon and all the rest of those "collectible" series. I'm surprised it never made it to the US (or if it, I'm even more surprised I missed it).

Has anyone else seen these things?
