More evil Lego

So enthralled was I by the evil lego I found yesterday, I searched for more.  I found this.

Classic stuff from Eddie Izzard

Osama Bin Lego

I stumbled across this story whilst browsing thesun.co.uk (original article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2002041.ece).  It seems that some clever fellows have decided to modify the famous lego man and produce some characters of a more sinister nature.

A swathe of religious leaders are clamouring to have these toys banned.  Apparently, the glorify terrorism and the holocaust.  I don’t see it personally.  Laughter is a universal medicine that heals many wounds and cures many malodies.  When I saw these, I laughed.  I thought themfunny.  Are we foverer bound to complete solemnity over these subjects?  Is a lego character going to turn some 8 year old child into a suicide bomber?  No.  It’s not.   I remember being confronted by a bully at school, threatening to pound my face in over some triviality.  I laughed in his face. and pushed passed him.  I never had another days trouble from him.  That’s my opinion – what’s yours.

My daughter, the artist

My eldest Daughter has had a picture published in a book.  The best pictures from the county were compiled in one book entitled Perfect Pets, where children had to design their favourite pet.  Cerys was 7 when she did this (she’s 8 now)

I’m so proud.

Summer of Love – Look what I won

I’ve been a bad boy.  No updates for some time.  My life has been, shall we say, a bit of a mess recently.  I’ll not bore you with the details, but there has been little to smile about.  One thing that did turn my frown upside down was the prizes I received from Chris Miller for winning his “Summer of Love” competition over at Lost Hemishpere.  One of which I just have to show off, because I’m particularly happy with it.

A copy of Marvel Tales #2 from the actual 1965.  Wow!  As someone who’s developed a slight interest in comics over the last year or so, this is the sort of thing that is really appreciated.  Reading the old stories was fun and educational.  The language in particular was most amusing.  Old people talk funny!

Thanks Chris, it’s really appreciated.

Summer of Love – I win!

Well it would appear that summer is finally over.  Whilst the air outside is cooling, I’m burning up a fever with excitement.  The magnificent guys over at Lost Hemisphere have brought their magnificent series to a thrilling and dramatic conclusion with a truly artistic presentation of the final bout.  My Family of One (Fantastic Four / X-Statix) deck went up against Brian Foley’s Adamantium Skrullmate deck in the final match of the event.  I won, but that’s not the story.  The main news is the brilliantly creative presentation of that final.  Definitely go check it out today!

Longshot in Marvel Evolution? Get ready for a stuplosion!

I can’t believe I’ve only just stumbled across it, but in a recent Origin Stories article on Read / Rant, Billy Zonos slipped in a little preview of some of the art we might see in the forthcoming Marvel Evolution expansion for Vs. System.  This one particularly caught  my eye.  Longshot is the character that Rian “stubarnes” Fike has obsessed over since day one of this mighty game, yet in the days since Billy splashed this over his pages, there’s been no fanfares from the Fike camp!  Is the most psycadelic player the game has ever seen asleep at his post, or has his love of mulletman diminished over the years?  Wake up stu!

Last Man Standing – Episode 2, Burkina Faso

I think it’s fair to say that I am officially hooked on the new series of Last Man Standing.  If you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, then I suggest you take a quick look at my first post on the subject and then come back here.  Alternatively, you could pop along to the show’s homepage on the BBC website to read up.

Marvel Evolution exclusive previews

There are two more cards exclusively previewed on The-Kamiza.com.

 

Endangered Species and Rapid Strike are plot twists from the forthcoming Marvel Evolution expansion for the Vs. System trading card game.  Both fit into this weeks theme of X-Force and combat Plot Twists.  The X-Force team seem to thrive on combat, and this weeks cards highlight that quite effectively.  The preview is up now:

Amazing Key-Tar video

I just found this hilarious video on the Chris Moyles page on BBC.CO.UK/RADIO1.  It’s pure genius.  The Brett Domino Trio should go down in the annuls of history as musical pioneers!

What the politicians are saying

No matter what part of the world you’re from, politicians are in your life.  The whole world is hoping that the US elect a decent president this time around.  I confess that I don’t know a lot about McCain or Obama, but from what I’ve seen in the media, Obama seems the more reasonable.  Yet I know nothing about his thoughts or comments on issues that I’m concerned about.  Sure you can search news stories, but you often come up with a lot of irrelivancies, so I was really pleased to stumble across a great new toy from Google.

“In Quotes” is a really simple search facility that will help you find out exactly what any politician has been saying about an issue you’re worried about.  Simply select your region (US, UK etc) and select your politicians.  Currently, the US default is unsuprisingly John McCain and Barack Obama.  Then you can enter any keyword you wish and it will bring up any quotes from the politician with that keyword.  Cool huh?  Go play!
