Video Awesomeness!!!

Hi-Diddly-Di! One of the best things I love about this holiday season is all the great videos that are popping up. I thought about doing one specifically for the holidays but then some great trailers premiered and then there were Jedi Ninja battles so I'm just going to give up a mish-mosh of all of them! (Yea, I said that.) Let's start with those Jedi Ninjas.

Finally, we'd like to dedicate this last video to Roy, one of our more active FB page members. He mentioned Calvin & Hobbes snowmen and we found this video inspired by Calvin, the "greatest snowman mass murderer of our time."

Video Friday! 9/9/11 (Late Night Edition)

Hi everybody! It's Friday and you know what that means... Videos!


This is one of the strangest things you'll see this week or in the upcoming weeks. I know it's an old clip but it is still insane and amusing.

The Smurfs - Racist and Anti-Semitic?

My mind was just blown. In scouring the internet for articles, I came across one from the Huffington Post about The Smurfs. The article is about a book, written by French sociologist and author Antoine Bueno, called "Le Petit Livre Bleu" or "The Little Blue Book," which discusses the racist and anti-semitic themes within The Smurfs. 

Papa Smurf - Benevolent Leader or Cruel Dictator?

I'm not sure how to feel about this. There are some interesting points made. The comments about "The Black Smurfs" were especially disturbing , but overall, I'm just not sure. I really want to get my hands on this book because I love The Smurfs. They are a happy part of my childhood. I still have many of my old toys. I love them enough that I am seriously considering seeing the movie, even though I am fairly positive that it will be a flop (there are some things Neil Patrick Harris cannot make better), but now I am looking at them in a whole other light. 


I know a lot of beloved pop culture characters have dark or twisted origins, but this one bothers me a little more than I'd like, mostly because other than the weirdness with Smurfette being the only female for the longest time, The Smurfs were one of the few cartoons I never really saw a dark side to. Goes to show what I know. I wonder if the Snorks have those kind of themes too.


Below is a video about the book and the reactions of people hearing this theory.





What do you think? Plausible theory or just plain looniness?

Sunday Links for March 13

This past week was filled with sadness as the worst earthquake in their recorded history hit Japan, resulting in a Tsunami felt throughout the entire Pacific. For more information about how you can help, here's a great article by the Huffington Post. If you are still trying to locate someone, Google released a people finder tool to help. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.

Free Comic Day is fast approaching, and I can say that I am excited. Not just for the free books but because I never know what I will find. Bleeding Cool has previews for all 33 fcbd books for this year.

Stan Lee is cracking up geeks everywhere this week by finally answering the age old question from Mallrats, "What is the Thing's dork made of?" The answer is what we all expected.

If you are a big Scott Pilgrim fan, you will be happy to learn that there are four unreleased songs from the movie. They are from Beck, who did all of the songs for Sex Bob-omb.

Over at Geek to Me, they have a guest editorial from Sean “Blazek” Emes, who makes a very good argument that competitive gaming should be considered a sport. Having suffered from Wii elbow, I can say that gaming can be very, very physically dangerous.

Next time someone tells you that comics are pointless, idiotic reading for kids, make sure to show them this. For Women's History Month, the Smithsonian has created videos and comics to teach kids and adults about some of science's most influential women.

Pssst... Did you know that we are having a Bonanza? A crazy Autograph Bonanza where we give stuff away? Wanna take part? ;)

And now, just because its funny, I give you Angry Batbirds. You can check out more of them here.
