The Thundercats Are Back!!

From MTV:

Thundercats... Ho!

Lion-O and the warriors from Thundera will be back on television next year in a new animated series set to air on Cartoon Network in 2011.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the new "Thundercats" series will be the studio's first project to use anime-style animation, and promises to be a "21st century reimagining" of the classic '80s cartoon series.

Along with the first promotional image from the series, WBA also sent over a brand new, ridiculously cool poster announcing the series' 2011 debut.

Here's the first image from the series:





According to the studio, the new series will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers to the universe of Lion-O and his Thunderan brethren.

Calling it "a sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes," the studio offered some hints about what the new "Thundercats" series will involve, including "the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost."

For the project, WBA will collaborate with noted Japanese animation Studio4°C (“The Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights”), who will update the characters' look for the series.

"Thundercats" will be executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”), with Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) as producers.

Live Television Phone Prank Awesomeness

Yes, I've decided to use Awesomeness as my gimmick.

Those Brits...they love their live TV pranks, and they are very funny. I'm not sure if I posted the bottom 2 videos before, I can't find them if I did. Whatever, they're worth reposting.



Here's a rough translation from Boing Boing:
Beginning: (unintelligible), at this time we'll go to the line. Tell us who you are, where you're from, and your request... salaam alaikum - (robert answers, hello there how are you etc.).. alhamdullilah...
@0:33: Thank you very much.
@1:12: Can you hear me?
@1:22: It seems like your... (sounds like he was about to say your line disconnected)
@1:39 Sitting with my sister and doing [some other program] during the day, and now doing this program.
Just as the video ends he starts to say "let's pray for this sister, that..."

Better Marriage Blanket

Apparently this is not a joke. I'm wondering if my wife will appreciate this as a mother's day present! :-)

Cadbury Advertising Awesomeness

Yesterday I posted an awesome South African commercial. One of the comments on that video said that the little girl is from the Cadbury Eyebrow commercial. So I looked that up. I'm not sure if it is her or not, but the eyebrow commercial is fantastic.

I've also posted the cadbury gorilla commercial. You probably have seen that also. Fantastic. Enjoy.
