Millie. Mouse. Eh.

MCM Net and Aardman partnered to produce Creature Discomforts, a campaign for the Leonard Cheshire Disability charity. Its purpose, I think, is to encourage outsiders to change the way they perceive disabilities.

I’m just confused about how. The campaign launched a game called Peanut Pickup, where you, a mouse, shoot peanuts into an elephant’s trunk. That’s it.

It isn’t clear what lesson I was meant to glean (could it be a hand-eye coordination game for disabled children…?), but all I could gather was it isn’t nearly as fun as Suicide Kittens — which, for a minute or two, I mistook for another component of the Creature Discomforts campaign.
