Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Victor Hugo – The UGO is Silent
Victor Hugo has arrived in CASE D only his name is now just Victor H.
The Top 10 reasons for the change?
10) The nameplate designer had an interview with Spinmaster so no time to type in three more letters.
09) Victor Hugo’s (the writer’s) great, great, great, great, great grand kids might sue. It’s not like if you say the words Victor Hugo to American High School students, you’ll be met with bored indifference.
08) His full name of Victor H. Christ might be NSFW?
07) The package designer hated the Hunchback of Notre Dame so no tribute to the writer.
06) HUGO might be one of those newfangled text shortcut words that would offend nuns, Teamsters and rumspringa Amish.
05) The country of Yugoslavia might re-form as a country to sue for besmirching the name of their national car company.
04) If you look closely, it’s not really an H but a vertical bar over a double L square – clearly Masonic – to the Illumanti!
03) There will be variant nameplates where his name is spelled out.
02) They just don’t give a darn?
And the Number One reason?
01) They just don’t give a damn?

You know, Victor H, cuz he’s from H-slavia.
I guess this wouldn’t fit on the cardback:
VICTOR HUGO*
(smaller print below)
*not to be confused with the author of the same name
Weird, huh…it must have something to do with the real Victor Hugo. There can’t be an active estate that would sue, so maybe it’s about having a product name that causes confusion with other products???
Let’s just say the Martin Scorsese — the Director of the recent film “Hugo” — paid the folks at Mattel a little ‘visit’ about what name would go on the package. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-bang, capiche???
I can’t imagine anything that would offend Teamsters or Rumspringer Amish kids?
Reason #4works for me….
