Viva Pinata does The Wicker Man

Well, this is an image somebody doctored from 'The Wicker Man', and old 70's flick. Basically, it involved a cop stumbling on people who sacrificed other by putting them in a giant structure and burning him alive.
And now, Hudson Horstachio goes all 'ritual' on us. What do you think?

The image is from a 'Before' (it was built) and after section.

That's not a doctored image. The dev team actually had a huge bonfire party after the game was released... maybe we can get them to repost some of the original pics here?

I s'pose you could class the 'AFTER' as edited?

but bonfire pics? Yes!

Can't find any at the moment, sorry, but I'm sure some will surface at some point.

You'll have to make do with the Kotaku story (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/viva-pinata/rare-burns-giant-pinata-wicker-man-jokes-inevitable-223108.php) in the meantime.

That's right, we have a bonfire party every year and with VP having just RTM'd we had just enough energy left to build a giant horstachio. We even had giant wooden footprints coming around the side of the fire from the road. I'll have a look for some photo's, I've got them somewhere.

BIGsheep isn't, but everybody in the photo was involved in VP including myself. Here are a few more photo's:

Remember, no pinata were hurt in the making of this bonfire.

Are you in the before photo?I'm not, sorry. I helped build the bonfire behind the Horstachio but had to disappear before they made the ominiously large, crate horse.

Several other VP members are in there, but I won't name them as they're shy.

I was watching the Colbert Report and he had a picture pop up for a couple seconds of a giant horstachio, not the one pictured above. Does anyone know about this and where the picture came from.

I believe they built a giant Horstachio in Mexico. Pics had been posted a long time ago, but I don't have a link.

Well I dug up some things here (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.siliconera.com/news/0612/vpparty01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.siliconera.com/infosphere/hollywood/&h=413&w=550&sz=42&hl=en&start=12&sig2=jugl0VCi39DDhnZDSoIsGw&um=1&tbnid=oZRACVfGe7rO4M:&tbnh=100&tbnw=133&ei=NP-DRr2CFIW6ggTE9YzIDw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgiant%2Bhorstachio%26svnum%3D10%26um% 3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dcom.google:en-US:official) and a pic, but you can just google giant horstachio and follow one of the pics of this and you'll probably find more about this Giant Mexican Horstachio Pinata Party.

I don't think anybody would fault you for that. I don't think any of us arriving on that saturday morning last year to build the bonfire expected to spend the afternoon building a giant wooden horstachio :D
