Ah, now it all makes sense; the Muppets are behind The Hunger Games. Like a fast food meal, Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games is quickly consumed, initially satisfying and slightly embarrassing to admit having enjoyed. We should have known some sneakingly addictive puppeteer had a hand in it (insert Statler and Waldorf grumbling here).

Proof!

The Electrified Fence:

Murderous Tributes:

The Elusive Mockingjay:

Lots of Panicked Running:

Fart Shoes?

Okay, so maybe it’s just another spoof to promote The Muppets but it sort of makes me wish they’d act out the whole thing.

The Muppets will be out on DVD/Blu-ray March 20, 2012.

Cindy Davis “does not recall” whether or not she read The Hunger Games.
