Celebrity Whack-a-Mole
A shallow game for a shallow target

Whack-a-Mole with the moles replaced with realistic rubber renderings of celebrities' heads. Replace the grass with a television screen.

Minutes of fun to be had.

The delux version would feature voice-mimicked "arggh!"s, realistic skull-crunching sounds and red goo that oozes out the heads if you hit them hard enough. And you probably would.

Heads of newer celebs will be available online, so as soon as they hit your screen you can hit them right back through it.

[imaginality]'s idea that inspired this, along with Futurama of course. [boysparks, Dec 11 2006]

       Cheers, [boysparks]. I'd imagine it won't be long before your version becomes better known as 'Splat-the-Prat'? [+]

       This idea also reminds me (somewhat tangentially) of a scene from 'Drop the Dead Donkey', the one that went something like this:   

       Evil Dictator: "Who are the people who've been spreading these accusations about me? I want names! We will kill them for this!"   

       Damien (buried up to his neck in sand): "Ummm... Noel Edmonds... Jeremy Beadle... Cilla Black..."   

       Evil Dictator: "Bad move, Mr. Day. I'm a big Cilla Black fan."
