Angry bird moon cakes

Angry Birds is third most pirated brand in China much to the delight of its Finnish maker Peter Vesterbacka.

He aims in fact to become the most copied brand in China, hoping for a 100 million downloads before the year ends and the leading entertainment brand in China next year.

One the promotions in China that have risen out of his ambitions are Angry Bird moon cakes, available in custom male/female bags.

Championed by Maxim’s group, the choice of chocolate, mango and pommel debuted at the Hong Kong food expo on Sunday where they apparently snapped up by fans for HK$38 ($4.90)

The company that created the hugely popular game last year has already released its own Angry Birds soft toys and is aiming to develop a cartoon series based around the sling shot swine hating birds.

China Mobile, now eager to cash in on the smartphone game scene, is offering RMB100,000 ($15,621) to any developer from any country who can create “excellent Android games.” The developer can submit five games of which up to three will be shortlisted and each of those shortlisted games will then be bought.

Right, where's that HTML manual.
