It's The Great Pumpkin That Looks Like Janet Jackson's Boob, Charlie Brown
The tenants inside Wilshire Courtyard -- the Miracle Mile office complex that's home to Variety, E!, the Los Angeles Business Journal, Indie 103.1, "Family Guy" and other entertainment outfits -- once again competed this year for Pumpkin carving supremacy.
And yes, the pumpkins got weird. Above, one of my favorites: "The Ghost of Super Bowl Past," carved by EMI Music. Yeah, Janet Jackson's Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction took place a few years ago now -- yet people are still talking about it. (Too bad the same can't be said for her new CD).
Here's something even scarier:
Yeah, you're seeing that right. It's "Flavor Flav," now in pumpkin form (as designed by the Wilshire Courtyard folks themselves).
From the twisted mind of the "Family Guy" staff: "We Shor the BB Gun."
I can appreciate what Wenner Media was trying to do here. But they lost me with the pun. This pumpkin is called "Punkin' Pie." But given the 3.14 carving (not to mention the carved-in "pi" sign), shouldn't it be Punkin' Pi? Just a question.
"Poker Face," from the World Poker Tour folks.
The new Weinstein Co. carves out "Boosie Pumpkin."
Then there's E! Entertainment Television, which got so excited about the competish that they entered several:
"Vegetarian," by E!
"Sick of Corporate America," by E! International
"Shrek" the pumpkin, by E!
"Dia de Los Muertos" by E!
OK, here's one more shot (a wide one) of EMI's Janet Jackson pumpkin:
