Dr. Pastel sells name, face to Carmen Sandiego franchise

Sillicon Valley CA. (GSP). Dr. Pastel and Electronic Arts Entertainment, a computer game company, have recently announced a partnership that will see Dr. Pastel's name and face on educational software entitled, "Where in the World is Amar Pastel?"

A throwback to the popular 1990s children's video game "Carmen Sandiego", the updated version will include Amar digitally remastered, authentic voiceovers and his very own a cappella theme song sung by "Rock-a-pella."

According to EA Entertainment, Pastel sold the rights to his face, body and voice for a lump sum of $2,000 plus cheese sandwiches. No rights or royalties will be paid if the game becomes a smash hit, which is an enormous mistake in contractual agreements on Pastel's part, according to experts in bodily and physical trait copyrights.

The video game is expected to be due out in early 2008, and will not be suitable for children ages 6+. The expected retail cost will be $19.95 plus customized console ($249.95 MSRP).
