Miss Piggy Wallpaper Screams "Narcissist"

Disney's new "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” ad campaign featuring Miss Piggy and Teri Hatcher reveals what the pink Muppet really thinks of herself. For those of you with any doubt, she thinks she is awesome. So awesome in fact, that Miss Piggy's wallpaper choice features her own likeness.

I did some searching around and couldn't find Miss Piggy's wallpaper pattern available anywhere. Surely all the pink diva's fans would love a desktop background of the same design but it just isn't available.

The resemblance of the Miss Piggy wallpaper pattern to the famous pig didn't catch my eye the first time I saw the commercial. I didn't even notice it the second or third time. It was likely the one hundred and twenty third time that the subtle detail finally registered with me. If any of you are wondering why I've seen so many Disney commercials the answer is simple: On Demand.

No, I'm not pulling up the commercials and watching them over and over again. It's just that Disney has worked out the marketing for this campaign in a way that leans heavily on On Demand content. Every show I've watched in the past few weeks starts with a Disney ad, cuts to a Disney ad at each regular commercial break and then concludes with a Disney ad. It could be worse. It could be for a selfish cause.
