I was in a store and I saw the boardgame Clue. There’s a new cover on the box and the model on it appears to be Catherine Zeta Jones. Is it her? Is she a new spokeswoman for Hasbro? Is she doing a promotion for some Clue-related movie or something?
While I see the resemblance, that’s not her.
That’s most likely supposed to be Miss Scarlet, since she’s been the “hot/exotic” suspect for quite a few years now. Probably because of the associations the color red has with love, lust, and so on. And because she is (or was, before Master Detective) the only Miss among two Mrs., and you know what that means. 
It means she puts out, right?
Anyway, she’s too young to be Catherine Zeta-Jones.
And, of course, she’s wearing red jewelry.
In Thudlow Boink’s link, 14. Clue Homicide Mansion 1991 is wearing green. WTF?
Also, 39. Walt Disney Tower of Terror Clue 2007 is supposed to be Minnie, but to me looks more like a cross-dressing Mickey…
Doesn’t she always?
Ditto.
Thudlow, thanks for that link. We had the 1963 cartoon version on our set growing up. Ah, memories…
I love websites like this, the ones that chronicle changes in common things over time.
#7 was the Miss Scarlet I grew up with.
And while I appreciate the increasing racial consciousness that realizes that “Asian” doesn’t automatically equal “exotic,” is the solution to the problem really to just make everybody white again?

Doesn’t look much like Catherine Zeta Jones to me.
Really? Other than eye color, I think it’s a pretty good likeness actually.
Well if you were describing her, yes. Pretty long-haired brunette. But the face looks a lot different to me.
Really? Because even if it’s not Jones, the resemblance is uncanny. Compare this picture to the cover.
Put me in the “looks a fair bit like her, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t her” camp. For one thing, her eyes aren’t the same colour, and I think they’re a little bigger. Her nose is a little different too.
The woman on the Clue box could play her in a porno, though. I’d watch that.
I think we all agree it isn’t her; we’re just surprised that control-z doesn’t think they look alike.
I think they do look alike “on paper”, but that they are two clearly different people when you compare facial features.
You guys were talking about the cover, and I knew the exact cover you meant.
What I don’t agree with, is the game set up, not so much the cover. IIRC, they changed up a few of the rooms, and a few of the weapons.
A Here and Now version of Clue if you will.
If “Take a walk on the Boardwalk” is sacred, certainly “Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the Library” has to be as well.
Speaking of… the Clue box girl actually reminds me of porn star Justine Jolie, though Justine is quite a bit more pale. I think it’s the mouth that does it.
