Crib notes
When JC Penney launched its MTV Cribs line of home furnishings, there was one thing that totally surprised me.
No “Scarface.”
If you’ve seen “Cribs” even once, you know that cribs-dwellers love their “Scarface.” A fortune could have been made selling them “Scarface” potholders, “Scarface” shower curtains, “Scarface” decorative candles, “Scarface” baby furniture. Penney’s, you messed up.
The folks at VU Games are smarter. They’re launching “Scarface: The Game” next fall. Right now, at the swankest of cribs, crews are no doubt adding on “Scarface”-playing rooms. Because you can’t play “Scarface” in the same ol’ room where you play the rest of your games. It just isn’t done.
What we need, friends, is to figure out our own “Scarface” product line. Fashion? Themed weddings? Themed funerals? What do you think?
