The blue 'Hoot' poster has been in the catalogue since I joined in '03.
It has left the catalogue now and with it, its purpose has been left unexplained...
The poster is most definately based on the book 'Hoot' by Carl Hiassen, a teenage aimed book about an American kids life in California. (I remember vaguely starting to read it back in '03, but getting bored quickly ;])
This is breching copywrite, surely? Habbo is using the books logo and name, google it, see for yourself.
I have never heard of a competition involving the hoot poster, nor any specific mention of it EVER.
Where did it come from and why is it there?!
When Habbo changed all the Britney/Buffy/Sum41 etc posters to the Bonnie Blonde ones etc, why wasn't the hoot one changed aswell?
Its a complete mystery to me, what are your thoughts, or do you have any information about this?
