    Thats right!! The famous gorilla from Glass and a half full promotions in HMV tomorrow Thursday !! :D

    Quote from galway independant
    Cadbury's drumming gorilla will be making an appearance in Galway's HMV store tomorrow, Thursday 25 September at 12pm.
    Cadbury's drumming gorilla.


    Having made a successful appearance at Cois Fharraige on Sunday 7 September, which left fans chanting for more, the gorilla will now embark on a nationwide tour, playing in HMV stores across the country.
    His latest performance for Glass and a Half Full Productions is currently on air and features a solo performance to Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'.
    HMV's Gennaro Castaldo, said HMV was looking forward to hosting what is most likely to be one of the most popular tours of the year.
    "The Cadbury Gorilla has fast become an icon in his own right and so we are delighted that fans will have the opportunity to see him in action playing to hit tunes from acts such as Deep Purple and his more recent offering 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'."

    Whoever came up with that marketing ploy should be severely punished.

    No, that sucks "unbelievable huge bal*s" also. And anyway, if we did that the SECOND you posted, it would still be and hour and forty minutes late.

    This animal cruelty can't be allowed to continue, cadbury needs to be free, he should be roaming the mountians of Connemara with the rest of his knuckle dragging clan.

    I don't see PETA doing fup all to free this magnificent beast, their all talk.
