Cricket Anyone

In Oz a well known Beer brand not dissimilar to that Fosters rubbish we ship overseas would offer a little figurine of Boonie or such past greats when you purchased a carton of said brew.

These would sit on top of the TV during a cricket match and make funny comment when ever a trigger signal was sent across the TV audio during the match.

I'll guess they used a similar tech to the SilverPush one.
