The Simpsons Movie may not have made much money this past weekend here in North America based on my standards, but they sure kicked major ass overseas as they the movie grossed about $96 million over 71 territories.
That's good stuff.
And if you're going to watch Transformers... don't! Alex Chiu, the inventor of Immortality Rings, Gorgeouspil and Super Chi Flush has six words for it, "Chiu Chiu Chiu Chiu Chiu, lame!" Watch his review here.
Wow... it's been a while since I last reported anything related to the awesome Simpsons movie that was released this past weekend.
Well, I already knew that the movie was great. And I wasn't surprised that it made the most money at the box office this past weekend. But, I was shocked/surprised/disappointed in the following facts:
It scored the best opening ever for a non-CG animated movie (passing The Lion King at $40.9 million).
It scored the highest amount of money made on an animated movie rated PG-13 or higher (beating Beavis and Butt-head Do America at $20.1 million).
It beat the crap out of Mission: Impossible 2 at $70.8 million for "best opening ever for a movie derived from a TV series."
The only disappointing fact was that the movie only made about $71.9 million, making it the third animated movie of any kind to make the most money, just behind Shrek The Third and Shrek 2.
Greatest. News. Ever. A high school cheerleader camp in Texas erupted into chaos and fury as 33 nubile young pep squad members tore each other limb-from-limb in a pom-pom tainted fracas.
The imbroglio began when Dallas Skyline cheerers began knocking on the doors of Midland cheerleaders. The Midland cheerleaders began shouting, pushing and shoving. Someone called police who arrived to spoil the excitement. There were no injuries. Reports that the fighting was conducted with pillows in a vat of cooking oil remain unconfirmed, as they are not true.
On Tuesday, Dallas school district spokesman Jon Dahlander said the district was looking into the incident. "If disciplinary action is warranted, it will be taken according to the guidelines established in the student code of conduct," he said.
We can only drool as we imagine the sexy, sexy disciplinary action that will result.
A 13-year-old girl in Pennsylvania has been charged with the shooting death of her father.
Apparently, she lived in a dump full of various animals. However, nobody has cleaned up after these animals.
Now, this is big because she shot him in the face. Anywhere else and this news wouldn't even be on this insanely-awesome website with contributors with nothing better to do.
A bunch of kids in Nevada who didn't like their freaking re-heated frozen green beans are being rewarded with better-tasting vegetables.
The menu at William V. Wright Elementary School is being changed after the second-grade class of Constantine Christopulos' went on a poignantly polite letter-writing campaign to see less of those damn beans.
Damn kids. Any kind of vegetable should be good for them. But for me, I only like carrots, lettuce, cucumbers... but especially carrots.
You're the owner of a car dealer and you have two pesky employees that keep asking you for raises. Well, I'd fire them. But, Rolandas Milinavicius, the owner of a car dealership, decided to shoot his only two employees who kept asking for raises.
Too bad.
But, it's a pretty good/bad idea, depending on what kind of person you are.
Old people in the area around Aden Bowman Collegiate should be happy. Their beloved grocery store, otherwise known as Extra Foods is not going to close.
Months ago, there were rumours that the store would eventually close. Well, Westfair Foods spokesperson has assured the City of Saskatoon that the store will not close.
Hey... would it make a big difference if that store disappeared? The Real Canadian Superstore kicks more ass.
The picture to the right (above) is not the actual store. The one pictured is the one on 22nd Street West. By the way, my former neighbour who used to live next door to me on Confederation Drive is in that picture too.
Acting under the mandate of California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, a group of "researchers" from the University of California busted the crap out of all the voting machines approved by California.
The group was given the full source code and manuals to all the machines they "tested" so it isn't really a true test of what hackers could do during a real election. However, if someone was going to rig an election, they'd probably find some way to get the source.
Of course, none of this matters because no one actually votes and when they do, they are too stupid to even use a conventional voting machine like that time back in the year 2000 when George W. Shrub won the U.S. presidential election.
You know what's kind of sad? Well, Saskatoon is home of the world's largest treadmill... but, that's not as sad as having the world's largest ketchup packet.
The town/city of Colinsville, IL is probably home of the world's largest ketchup bottle...
Analog television is going to die a painful death on February 17, 2009 and the U.S. government is worried that America may not have gotten the memo.
That date marks the switchover from analog to digital broadcast television in the US and most people will need converter boxes that will take the new digital signal and throw an analog one at their TV.
They could just get fancy HDTV's, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford it. The government has been letting the television companies notify the public, but worry they aren't doing enough.
They have setup a website at www.dtv.gov and a toll-free number at 1-888-388-2009, which doesn't spell anything interesting, or funny for that matter.
"The time to act is now -- before the digital transition devolves into a digital disaster," said Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye, presumably from inside his secret lair under a post-office basement.
We all know and love the Real Canadian Superstore and here in western Canada, the stores charge $0.04 a bag to encourage your lazy ass to bring your own bags and recycle. But over in Ontario, the stores are slightly different with the cashiers having to bag your items for you.
However, in Milton, Ontario, the store that will open there is going to be very different. Sure, the cashiers may still bag your items for you... but you'll have to bring your own bags. The store will be "bag-less."
Can a computer beat man at poker? It can at least stay competitive. Polaris, a poker-playing AI, went up against two pro players this week and ultimately lost.
Phil "The Unabomber" Laak and Ali Eslami played identical games against Polaris separately to remove randomization. They each played two 500 hand games of Limit Texas Hold'em over two days. On the first day, Polaris posted a win and a draw, but lost both games on the second day.
The creators are extremely happy with the performance as they've shown that a computer can be competitive against pro players. Poker was thought to be a game that computers could not play well against humans because of the amount of the level of bluffing and reading of human behaviour.
One of the creators said, "We had no idea where the technology stood. We're not better [than humans]. There's not enough data to suggest that," but, "It's clear that we're competitive."
A California man suspected of robbing banks across three states turned himself in, but in a very weird way.
The man is 57 told a patrolman that he had a problem and needed to get help. The man admitted to robbing banks in Nipomo (California), El Paso (Texas) and Jackson (Missouri).
Now, what'd he do with all the money? He gambled it away. Sweet.
Facebook creator and professional money-keeping person, Mark Zuckerberg, is getting sued by ConnectU. Apparently, he worked for ConnectU while he was a student at Harvard.
ConnectU claims that he failed to deliver code and stole ideas from ConnectU to launch Facebook four months before ConnectU, built on code Zuckerberg wrote for them.
ConnectU has 72,000 users, while Facebook has 52 million worldwide. When reached for comment, ConnectU's website said, "We are sorry, but we had a problem connecting to the database server."
I am guessing that there's probably some truth to ConnectU's claim, but based on the fact that this suit is coming three and a half years years after Facebook launched and they are probably going to be bought out soon, ConnectU is just trying to cash in.
Facebook's lawyers have launched some verbal arrows back at ConnectU saying, "Each of them had different interests and activities," and "Only one of them had an idea significant enough to build a great company. That one person was Mark Zuckerberg."
But, as for stupid Facebook groups, here's one called "Don't shut facebook down." I couldn't help it notice it based on its poor grammar and the fact that some of my own friends joined it.
With Master Chief finishing the fight this September, what's a better way to catapult Xbox 360 sales than lowering its price?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Microsoft will be cutting down the Xbox 360's price "by $50 early next month, sources said." Apparently one of their sources in the retail world said that the reduction will be made by August 8. The source noted that the price reduction will arrive during a slower season of game hardware sales-a few months before the holiday shopping frenzy.
However, it's not certain that (if it does occur) the price-cut will affect all Xbox 360 bundles. Our smiles would definitely shine through our wallets if we all witness a $249.99 Core, $349.99 Premium and $429.99 Elite 360 bundle price tag.
When asked to comment about the possible price reduction, a Microsoft spokesman said:
"We have no announcements to make on pricing at this time. While price matters, content is king. And no other system is offering all the games people want to play this holiday at a better price than Xbox 360."
As Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter suggested after the PS3's price-cut, Microsoft should be doing the same soon. Xbox 360 sales has been suffering recently due to the haunting 'ring of death' and competitors. A $50 dollar price cut, along with Microsoft's three year warranty, would make a significant change in retail shelves. But is it enough to propel Microsoft to the top?
According to Micheal Goodman, director of digital entertainment at Yankee Group, the price reduction would boost 360 sales but 'won't stop Nintendo from maintaining their momentum.' Wii is still scorching hot in the market, as gamers, soccer moms, and even grandparents can't help but swing that Wii-mote around.
Price reduction or not, it's no question that 360 sales will elevate when Halo 3 lands. But again, wouldn't be much better for us to save $50? Besides, we'll be spending that money once Mass Effect arrives in November. I guess we'll have to see in a couple of weeks.
Long Beach airport, outside of Los Angeles, was shut down briefly on Wednesday. The culprit wasn't a Middle Easterner with a grudge against capitalism or an adorable orphan hiding in the wheelwell of private jet. Instead, it was a videogame.
A passenger checked a bag that contained "a handheld electronic game board in a 'raw form' that showed its wiring," an airport spokesperson said. That was enough to ground several planes and inconvience many travelers for around an hour and a half. The spokesperson also said that the passenger worked for "some sort of game or toy company."
Surveillance cameras in a Milwaukee Target recently caught a couple of kids (as young as 11) carrying a sledgehammer, entering the electronics department and attacking the glass case that holds the games with the sledgehammer.
After several tries, they shattered the case and took off with one videogame. After all that effort, they only took ONE game? ONE?! What a bunch of morons.
Hey... do you want to buy a used vehicle on eBay? How about a Ferrari? Or better yet, a Toyota? Or how about that nice SUV Britney Spears attacked with an umbrella?
Well, that very same 2002 Ford Explorer can be yours for only $25,000 or more. As a bonus, the umbrella is thrown in too.
If there's anything the BMO Capital Markets trading desk is good at doing, it's starting rumours and making ME paranoid. A rumour that started with them is now making me very paranoid.
Well, rumour has it that Rogers Communications, that huge-ass company with all the cellular phones, the cable television and the supposedly high-speed Internet may purchase Shaw Communications.
If Shaw Communications is purchased by Rogers, I will be incredibly upset by this "merger" because I hate the guts of those fucking morons at SaskTel with the exception of some people. But, keep in mind that if the merger does happen, I will continue to stick to Shaw, even if the name is no longer used.
In Berlin, Germany, cops were called to investigate a mysterious robbery.
A grocery store was robbed by a 30-year-old thief that was born in Liverpool, England. Well, not exactly robbed. He just stole stuff.
But before he left, he left a note with to the "assistant" that said, "Call the police, I've just stolen."
When confronted by cops at his house, he didn't deny any wrongdoing and he said him and his pregnant girlfriend had cashflow problems due to a mistake at the social security office.
The long-awaited Simpsons movie is finally here. Man, we've been waiting for this day for quite sometime and it's finally here! God damn it, I don't believe this!
Man, do you have any idea how great it feels to have finally reached July 27, 2007?! Man, I feel great!
Now, today is the theatrical release of the movie and I COMMAND you to go watch it, you piece of shit.
And if you're going to the beach or lake, you should burn in hell you freaking son-of-a-bitch!
For showtimes at the good old respectable chain of theatres, click here.
In today's podcasting world, you've got to love Martin Sargent and a bunch of other Internet celebrities. However, there is one person you must hate: Keith Malley.
First off, he's an ass who thinks he's a comedian.
However, for the last long while, he was the owner of TheSimpsonsMovie.com, which would mislead you to his stupid podcast. He has since lost control of it.
With the upcoming release of The Simpsons Movie, BetUS.com has started taking betting propositions for the already-very-successful-despite-the-fact-that-it-isn't-released-in-theatres film.
You will be able to bet on how long the movie will be #1 in the box office and whether or not Milhouse will kiss Lisa on the lips.
You know what's going to be a big hit this weekend? The Simpsons Movie! Well, I'm not the only one to believe that.
Hollywood's two trade publications (Variety and the Hollywood Repoter) also believe that the movie will be BIG and will be very successful while pleasing fans at the same time.
To buy advance tickets for any of those showtimes above, click here.
Centre Cinemas (3510 8th Street East): 4:30pm; 7:20pm; 9:35pm
Advance tickets for tho movie are currently not available online for Centre Cinemas. Sorry. It is most likely because the JUMP system does not include those cinemas.
But if I were you, I'd go downtown and spend the extra $3.50 or so and watch the movie at a more respectable theatre with a bigger screen, better concession food and better seats. Good old Galaxy Cinemas.
Also, if you watch a lot of movies at Cineplex-owned theatres, perhaps you should sign up for SCENE, which will give you points for every movie ticket you buy plus 10% off your concession purchases. To get started, click here. And if you bank with Scotiabank, you'll earn points even faster!
You know what store I like a lot? It's convenient, and carries a wide assortment of crazy merchandise. But, the most useful service to me is the Canada Post outlet that most stores have. But, in the prairie provinces, new stores will not be carrying something people across the country spend a hell of a lot of money on: cigarettes.
That's good because cigarettes are GROSS and a waste of money.
I mean... who in their right mind would buy cigarettes?
We already know Quebec shouldn't be a part of Canada, or North America for that matter. But, it'd still be a shame if Quebec separated from Canada. Why? Well, there are a lot of great things about Canada that I can't even think of but having a province full of funny-looking French people should be one of them.
But, all these years, GPS devices have been illegal in that terrible "province." The province is the only jurisdiction on the continent where GPS or other navigation systems using screens are illegal for motorists. But that is expected to change by year's end.
Kick-ass pop boy-band Backstreet Boys will return to the kick-ass world on October 30 with a brand new album that is yet to be titled.
The first single, which is a ballad called "Inconsolable" will be hit the radio stations on August 27, 2007.
Original members Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean and Brian Littrell are all on board but Kevin Richardson is still a no-show. That bastard decided to leave the group in 2006.
If there's any celebrity who has made headlines lately, it would have to be that stupid-menace-to-society Lindsay Lohan. First, there was that whore Paris Hilton who was sent to jail for 45 days but was released days later, only to be sent into prison again by the same judge but she didn't serve the whole 45 days. Then, now, there's Lindsay Lohan.
Recently released from one of those stupid rehabilitation clinics that usually aren't very effective, she was recently arrested again on three or four separate charges that include driving under the influence, driving with a suspended licence and felony cocaine posession.
Now, I hope she gets locked up soon. More celebrities should be behind bars, like Britney Spears. But no... she had to stay out of trouble recently. Or... maybe not. There are rumours of her being arrested but I until I find a more credible source, that story will never make it here.
Roger Ebert has, by all accounts, very little time left on Earth, in this life anyway. So, why he would choose to use it rankling gamers is completely beyond us, yet that's exactly what he's doing. Seems "Mr. Thumbs Up" has decided that videogames aren't "high art," since the artist fails to see it through completion, and once a gamer gets a hold of the game, he changes the concept by playing it, therefore nullifying the art.
Oh, Roger. You seem to have opened up a can of whoop-ass, and don't even know it, boy. Do you have any idea what happens to you when you piss off the gaming community? We sure do. Listen...you might want to go underground for a while. Just in case. In the meantime, Gene Siskel did not say, from beyond the grave, "Roger's a tool. Always has been. If you can't look at Metal Gear Solid and consider it art, then you deserve to have a brick thrown through your hospice window."
Well, remember those arguments David Couchman and Jennifer Rospad used to have about which university was better? Well, according to David Couchman, who is attending the University of Calgary (Haskayne School of Business) and Jennifer Rospad, who attends the University of Saskatchewan (College of Engineering). Well, even though Jennifer Rospad isn't in "Commerce," or "Business," she still thinks that naming the college after Peter Haskayne was "stupid." Well... the College of Commerce at the University of Saskatchewan here in Saskatoon has been renamed to the N. Murray Edwards School of Business because the guy donated $11 million to the college. Crazy bastard.
Now who's crazy, Jenn? So... this means Alex Mitchell's future college suddenly has a longer name. That's pretty funny.
I have even more proof that the Kwik-E-Mart is kick-ass. According to an incredibly-long-but-detailed article from ABC News, sales at 7-Eleven stores converted to the new Kwik-E-Mart have doubled.
So... in your face, you crazy Indian-American franchise owners that can't take a joke. One man said that he couldn't picture 7-Eleven wanting to become a Kwik-E-Mart for just one day.
What a moron. I forgot his hame though. It was on a video I found on CNN.com.
If there's any website out there that is willing to ruin parts of a movie before its theatrical release, it'd have to be IESB.net. The website has posted eleven clips from the upcoming Simpsons movie, otherwise known as The Simpsons Movie.
Well, if you are NOT a dedicated Simpsons fan like I am and would like to see clips of the movie, click on the link below, douche. The trailer is bad enough.
It is a well known fact that there aren't many viruses out there for those Macintosh computers (now simply known as Mac nowadays).
But, have you ever wondered why? Well, last week, a guy that blogged about stuff talked about an exploit in the code about the Mac OS X operating system. By the end of the week, he had received some death threats by a bunch of chicken-fucker that absolutely loved Macintosh computers.
Anonymous users making anonymous threats to the anonymous hacker? Can this get any better? The blog has since been hacked and shut down.
A study led by Canadians has drawn a "clear link" between human activity since the early 20th century and increased rainfall across much of the Northern hemisphere.
Well, you know what the cause of this extra rainfall is? Us... HUMANS!
A bunch of thieves in Australia stole a delivery truck full of PlayStation 2 consoles. However, what they didn't know was that the vehicle has a GPS built into it.
The truck, which was loaded with more than $1 million AUD worth of PlayStation 2 consoles.
Based on rumours, the ring-leader reportedly said, "And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for your meddling GPS!"
Some of you already know I hate old people. But, some of you didn't know this... there is one old person I have come to respect... Bob Barker, the former host of The Price is Right. And it was a shame that he had retired after being the host of the show for 35 years.
Well, instead of cancelling the show, CBS has recruited a really good replacement for the show, Drew Carey.
That's insanely-awesome! I love that guy and I loved his television show, The Drew Carey Show, even though it lost its touch after the department store Winfred Louder disappeared.
French people aren't so bad after all because a French woman was arrested on the suspicion of kissing a painting painted by AMERICAN artist Cy Twombly and smudging the bone-white canvas with her lipstick.
Now, what the hell would this whore be doing kissing a painting. Isn't she good enough to kiss a man, or a woman for that matter? She is to be tried in a court in the southern city of Avignon on August 16, 2007 for "damage to a work of art."
The painting she damaged is supposedly worth $2 million. Burn!
You know what's fun to do? It is fun to send text messages while you're driving downtown through 20th Street like a maniac ignoring all pedestrian crosswalks and hitting those damn little kids that are always loitering outside that gas station that's always getting robbed.
Well, some British girl hit a grandmother and killed her while she was in her car.
Omnipotent search engine Google is entering the world of gaming. They are launching a "service" called AdSense for Games, a spin-off of the successful Google's successful AdSense.
The company said publishers will be able to use the Google system to put advertising in their games, and collect revenue. Advertisers, in turn, will be able to work through the Google system to buy ad space within games. They're starting with Web-based games, but the plan is to move into PC and console games later this year.
Sounds delightful!
"They will be a significant player, at some point, in the advertising market in games because of the network of advertisers that they have, broadly speaking," said Colin Sebastian, senior research analyst with Lazard Capital Markets.
Huy's HomeTurf!!!@Home is very happy about the trend of in-game advertising. After all, when you play a game there are potentially hours of your life where you're not be bombarded with pitches and commercials! Thanks, Google!
According to a listing on Gamefly.com, a Nintendo DS game based on game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? is on the way.
There are no details, screenshots or information as of yet, but I'm guessing it's some kind of trivia based game where the questions are not-very-challenging.
We can only hope for hours of "Foxworthy-riffic" fun. "You might be a redneck if..." bah-ha-ha!
Drunken-actress-turned-drunken-menace-to-society Lindsay Lohan turned herself in to the fuzz Thursday to face drunk driving charges.
Lohan voluntarily entered the Beverly Hills police department around 4:00 p.m., gave fingerprints, took photographs and was released an hour later on $30,000 bail.
The charges stem from the Memorial Day Weekend car wreck that sent her to rehab. Tests revealed her blood alcohol level to be above the legal limit of 0.08% and found what they called a "usable amount" of cocaine in her car.
Days later, Lohan entered rehab. Released after six weeks, she checked out of rehab claiming to be sober.
Right.
Four years of getting hooked on booze and drugs and only six weeks to kick? Right.
Seems like Sony is of the mind to tweak, refine and otherwise tinker-with the SixAxis controller for the PlayStation 3.
We know that the company is seriously considering adding the much-missed rumble feature. And the tilt/motion sensing nature of the controller is pretty sweet (if generally under-utilized). But are other surprises in store from Sony?
Apparently, yes. Blog Kikizo spoke to Sony Computer Entertainment's global President Kaz Hirai who said, "We're also looking at a variety of other things that we can incorporate with the controller, and we'll come out with announcements when we think we have the right mix of features."
We hope it comes with an on-board squirt gun for water-based games. And a smell-o-vision feature. Maybe an electro-shock?
We all love South Park, right? You know, that show with the cartoon characters that look like cardboard cut-outs with a racist Cartman who's always making fun of Jewish friend Kyle.
Well, the episode involving that stupid World of Warcraft has been nominated for an Emmy award for the Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour) category.
Even though it's been nominated numerous times in the past, it has only won an award once.
Microsoft made everyone happy when they extended the warranty on their Xbox 360 consoles to three years. However, the dreaded "red ring of death" may not be the only manufacturing problem plaguing the next-generation console.
Christine Moskowitz and Dan Wood filed a complaint on Monday in the US District Court of Southern California, claiming that "Microsoft improperly and/or negligently manufactured the Xbox 360 console in a manner that causes the expensive game discs... to be scratched, rendering the games unusable." Christine Moskowitz claims that she bought an Xbox 360 and three games for her son, which were all scratched beyond use within a matter of months. Dan Wood claims that his console destroyed his copy of Splinter Cell.
So that's two people, four games lost, and maybe two new consoles. That adds up to what, $1,200?
Christine Moskowitz and Dan Wood are asking for no less that $5 million. Yes, we're totally serious. That means they want $4.998 million for damages beyond what they actually spent on the consoles and software. How many months of not being able to play video games constitutes $5 million in pain and suffering? What a bunch of morons. Those two morons should be bitch-slapped so hard that their kids will feel it.
I am Huy Dang. And I know all. And I happen to know most of you out there are douche-bags that enjoy watching CBS. You can't wait for your favourite CBS television shows, like Cold Case and CSI: Topeka, and you don't like it when you turn your stories on and they're late! CBS has your back, bitch. They're going to start text-messaging viewers and letting them know when their favourite shows are going to be late because of news or sports, or those damn kids.
We, for one collective, are happy about this. We can't tell you how many times we've been gathered at our television sets, ready to watch NCIS, and there's some sort of election or State of the Union speech. Talk about a bummer! Now, we can keep playing steal the bacon while those dumb politicians argue, and wait for our phone to call us and tell us when it's time to go home. Like our moms!
You remember Broadcom, don't you? During the technology boom, the guy who founded the company, Henry T Nicholas III, became freaking rich. Now, we come to find that he used a bunch of that money to build a "grotto" in which to satisfy his hunger for ecstasy, cocaine, and hookers. The $30 million grotto was built under his mansion in Laguna Hills.
Apparently, the guy flew hookers in from as far away as New Orleans and Chicago to be present at the parties held there, parties in which guests were supplied with "transportation and cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamines, marijuana, mushrooms, and nitrous oxide." Those, my foreign friends, are quite some parties. They remind of Stewie Griffin's sexy parties. And nitrous oxide is laughing gas in case you did not know.
The underground "pleasure dome" also featured a 2,000 square-feet sports bar called "Nick's Cafe." The guy is having his ass hauled to court by contractors who allege he threatened them with financial ruin if they failed to complete the complex within a certain amount of time.
Last July, the president of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division, Robbie Bach, promised that his department would be profitable during the company's 2008 fiscal year. So imagine his surprise when he found out it suffered a $1.89 billion operating loss in 2007, a 47 percent increase from the $1.28 billion loss the division took the prior year. The shortfall came despite $6.08 billion in annual revenue, 28 percent above the $4.76 billion it took in the year prior.
Besides lower Xbox 360 sales than expected, the EDD's fourth quarter took a major hit when then-Vice President Peter Moore announced a three-year extension of the Xbox 360 manufacturer's warranty. It ended up costing them $1.06 billion, causing operating losses to rise to $1.2 billion.
Morons.
Luckily, Microsoft's non-gaming ventures was much better. The company saw a $3.04 billion net income on $13.37 billion in revenue during its fourth fiscal quarter, 11% higher than the same period in 2006. For the full fiscal year, the company saw $14.7 billion of net income on revenues of $51.12 billion, a 15% increase over the prior fiscal year.
I just finished reading an article from MoviesOnline.ca and I feel bad for Conan. He wrote some of the best Simpsons episodes ever and yet, he was snubbed from the movie. I can't believe that the writers would do so.
What pisses me off is that Conan actually moved next to the FOX Studios and made himself available to them. He even cleared his schedule for a year.
You know what I hate about the Internet? Spam e-mails. And you know what I hate about those people that spam your email address even more now? They are exploiting the interest of The Simpsons Movie in order to get people's email addresses.
In an email sent to random people, there is a picture of Homer Simpson sitting on his ass and it gives you a link to a survey, promising a $500 gift-card if you complete it.
You know how much Homer Simpson loves Duff Beer and donuts, right? Well, you can get that combination of stuff in a famous ice-cream flavour created by Ben & Jerry's.
So if you're in Springfield (Vermont) this weekend, try that new flavour of ice cream. Apparently, it's a one-time, and one-day-only flavour.
The Simpsons will be making an appearance in the August issue of that magazine called Harper's Bazaar.
A Simpsonzed Linda Evangelista serves as their tour guide as they are in France. Illustrator Julius Preite drew Evangelista, a chameleon of hairstyles, with the dark bob for which she’s best known. More importantly, she said, Preite gave her luscious lips, something most women on "The Simpsons" don’t get. "Evangelista also said she likes most of the outfits worn by both herself and her cartoon friends. In real life, she has the round-toe Lanvin shoes she’s pictured in and she already modeled the double-breasted Jean Paul Gaultier coat for an upcoming Neiman Marcus campaign."
If you're in Toronto during the next three days and are a fan of The Simpsons, you might want to stop by the CN Tower because they are hosting a bunch of activities related to the good old movie: The Simpsons Movie.
The Simpsons is a beautiful work of art. But, I was never able to imagine an Indian person saying that the portrayal of Apu on that television program that has been on television for 18 years would be "racist."
An Indian writer named Manish Vij made that accusation in the July 17 issue of the Brtish newspaper The Guardian.
Well... not only is there going to be a Simpsons movie. There's going to be a videogame. But, the game will also make fun of the videogame industry the same way the television show which we have grown to love during the past 18 years makes fun of pop-culture.
That's awesome.
Matt Groening is supervising the artistic look, the TV series' actors provide voices and the writers have written more than 8,000 lines of dialogue for the game.
Since it's available for the PlayStation 2, it's about time I bought one.
Damn it! I am insulted by this video I just watched. According to the video, old people are better drivers than us young and hip generation of drivers. What a bunch of old fart-knockers.
As you can all tell, I am really excited about the theatrical release of The Simpsons Movie! Well, I am glad to announce that today, the number of days left until the theatrical release of the movie has finally reached a single digit. Currently, there are nine (9) days left. In about six minutes, there will be eight.
"A California mother was charged with beating her children, ages 2 and 4, on a commercial aircraft and interfering with the flight crew." (CNN.com article)
Whether you want to believe it or not, lottery ticket fraud occurs. In Calgary, a man walked into the Northwest Grocery store in Bridgeland to have his lottery ticket re-checked. A day earlier, he had been into a different store, handed over his ticket and was told it wasn't a winner. But out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the clerk attempt to put the ticket in her own back pocket.
That's why you should always check your lottery ticket against the numbers posted or use that crazy lottery ticket checking device that most lottery ticket centres have. Speaking of that, I really like the kiosk at the Real Canadian Superstore located at 2901 8th Street East in Saskatoon.
Starting on August 1, 2008, retail outlets will be given new terminals that make a sound when a winning ticket is scanned. They will also have huge screens that show customers if they are "in the money."
Now here's some weird news from our neighbours down to the south. Marianne Pearl, the woman whose husband Daniel Pearl was beheaded five years ago has decided to sue the terrorist organization that was supposedly responsible for the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington almost six years ago, otherwise known as al-Qaeda.
Peter Whitmore, the douche-bag that apparently sexually assaulted two kids last year here in Saskatchewan has been offered a deal where he ends up with a life sentence, where he will be eligible for parole in seven years. This is a little too lenient because he will not be considered a dangerous offender.
When you get out of jail and are declared a dangerous offender, your life is severely restricted compared to the restrictions placed upon you when you are on parole for a life sentence.
I have no opinion on this... but this is important stuff.
I don't know if that graph above is good for anything, but, the crime rate in Saskatchewan still remains high, despite the fact that crime rates across our beautiful country have dropped.
This is proof that Saskatchewan is truly the best province to live in!
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata (not pictured to the right) is boldly declaring that the Wii could become the best selling videogame console in history, topping the PS2.
Strong words. Brave man.
"Sony's PS2 sales of 100 million units is an extraordinary number that our home game console business has not achieved," Iwata proclaimed. "But if we can make our bid to expand the gaming population a continued success, we could exceed that."
Iwata believes that Nintendo's ability to expand the gaming audience and think outside the box will help the Wii beat the PS2's record for the most console sales in the history of the industry. The PS2 has shipped over 120 million units since its launch over six years ago.
As of March 2007, Nintendo sold 5.8 million Wii consoles and is expecting to sell another 14 million units through the end of the business year.
Hey, Sony, are you feeling the heat yet!?!? C'mon! They're calling you out, bitch! Step up and "cap" their ass!
Fresh out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan is involved in yet more drama.
No, she didn't wrap her car around another tree or kill an innocent bystander... yet.
This time someone broke into her computer and stole pictures of her and her boyfriend... naked!
How did she discover the pillaging? The hacker was kind enough to leave a file on her desktop saying they had the pictures of her with beau BF Calum.
"If I ever find out who broke into my computer," she warned in a message on her site, "He's in big shit."
Notice she said, "He."
How does she know it's a guy?
I think there might be more to this alleged break-in than meets the I-told-you-she's-giant-lying-ho-bag-with-subtsance-abuse-prolems-and-no-regard-for-others.
Sony, it seems, can't win for losing. Long maligned for the high prices of the PlayStation 3, now they are being taken to task for cutting the price of the next-generation system. And competitors are jumping right on board. Take Nintendo, for example, who felt the need to comment on the Sony price cut by saying that it wouldn't hurt sales of the Wii, and that the Wii is incredibly profitable.
Of course, there would be no reason to respond if it weren't at least potentially troubling to Nintendo. Now, we're not about to suggest that they're running scared, but it's a little strange that they're so reactive. Note: There's no word from Microsoft on the whole thing.
The U.S. Army is constantly developing innovative, tech-forward methods of spreading love, democracy and freedom all over the world, including MILTRAK, a new system that sounds a lot like the HUD on war videogames.
The system attempts to blow away some of the fog-of-war by combining GPS navigation and a display that shows in real time the location and status of "friendly" troops.
Users are connected by standard radio signals, and the system uses data from laser range finders and the on-screen symbols to enhance situational awareness.
Surely this will result in victory for all our future military endeavours.
A federal judge recently denied the RIAA’s motion to conduct ex parte discovery to determine the identities of seven students at the College of William and Mary. This is a big setback in the organization’s battle against copyright infringement on college campuses as it makes the task of identifying the culprits more time-consuming.
Damn it!
In case you not a lawyer, ex parte discovery is allows the RIAA to file a John Doe lawsuit based only on an IP address. Many people question this method as it allows them to sue people without actually bothering to do the research to see who they are and where they live (hence why children and grandmothers sometimes get sued).
Judges typically have been willing to issue subpoenas forcing ISPs to turn over the name and address of the subscribers in question without being able to contest the subpoena.
But this time those crazy bastards got shut down by hero/judge Walter D. Kelley, Jr. who said that the RIAA is NOT entitled to immediate discovery because it is using the incorrect law as the basis for its request.
In their motion, the record labels cite the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 as the authorization for its ex parte subpoenas. Judge Kelley says that the College of William and Mary is not a cable operator, and even if it were, "only 'a government entity may obtain personally identifiable information concerning a cable subscriber pursuant to a court order.'" Basically, the judge said "not only did you cite the wrong law as the basis of your request, but even if this law applied to colleges, you wouldn't be entitled to the information anyway."
You wouldn't think Mario Party 8 would be the center of controversy, but the generally inoffensive party game for Wii was recalled from shelves in England because it contained the word "spastic."
"[Mario Party 8] was launched in the UK today [Friday]. Unfortunately we have discovered that a small number of games contain the wrong version of the disk due to an assembly error. We have therefore decided to recall all copies of the game from UK retailers so that this mistake can be corrected," reads the official Nintendo website.
According to Computer and Videogames, by "wrong version" Nintendo means the version that features a blue wizard known as Kamek says, "Magikoopa magic! Turn the train spastic! Make this ticket tragic!"
Mario Party 8 is the second game banned for use of the word spastic. The first was Ubisoft's MindQuiz.
I hate reading about these kinds of stories again and again, but here's another "Videogames made my kid a killer" post for you.
This one courtesy of of a mother in England. After 18 year-old son Stuart Harling was convicted of stabbing nurse Cheryl Moss to death, his mother Lorraine reported Harling had "practiced" for the crime for years on a videogame system.
"I know these games are played by kids across the world, but some are truly horrific. And if they can cause a trigger to be pulled in someone's head they should be banned," Lorraine told The News of the World, ignoring the 99.99999999% of violent game fans who don't kill anyone.
"Stuart was 11 or 12 when I bought him the PlayStation. For a long time I didn't even realise games had age limits on them. We'd just buy him the game that all the other kids had. I didn't really know what they were about. I think most parents are the same," she said.
Even during his trial, Harling showed the mark of ill-breeding: At one point, he told his prosecutor, "I'm going to cut your fucking head off and shit down your neck!" Lorraine attributes that piece of dialogue to a videogame, although I'm pretty sure it's from a movie.
Huy's HomeTurf!!!@Home (yes, all of us) feels that violence comes from the inherent dark nature of humanity, and that games are an attempt to understand the impulses that we all have. You know, like every other kind of art. So we probably shouldn't be banning anything. Maybe you feel differently? Let us know, below. And chances are, you won't be leaving a comment just because you have to go through a complicated process of registering for a Google account. However, if you already have a Gmail account, you don't have to worry. Just log in, lazy bastard. Then again, you are probably too lazy for that too.
You know what sucks when you're pretending to be a cop? Well, when you pretend to be a cop and pull someone over, the person you are pulling over may very well be a cop.
I didn't even know there was a Springfield over in New Zealand. Well, about 3,000 people in that town/city celebrated the upcoming release of The Simpsons Movie.
If you've watched that classic movie The Stupids, you would know just as much as me that Stanley Stupid is the world's smartest man. The main reason for that is because he had the most clever disguise when he was scoping out the local landfill after discovering that the landfill is filled with thousands of people's trash. Man, I tell you... that was a great movie! My favourite part was at the very beginning when he realized that someone had stolen his trash again! The fun unfolds from that scene.
Now, even though I doubt that a bank robber in New Hampshire had heard of Stanley Stupid, he appears to have followed his league.
Now, you may have heard of the "Create Your Own Avatar" feature over at SimpsonsMovie.com. But, Burger King has launched something just as great... it's called "Simpsonize Me," which allows you to turn a photo of yourself into a Simpsons character!
"A Cape Cod man who claimed he was homophobic, racist and a habitual liar to avoid jury duty earned an angry rebuke from a judge on Monday, who referred the case to prosecutors for possible charges." That's pretty funny.
Unfortunately, that excuse didn't exactly relieve him of jury duty. As a result, Daniel Ellis could face charges including perjury.
A while back, Kent Couch (some guy with an awesome last name) was sitting back in his lawn chair with a bunch of snacks. However, his lawn chair had MORE POWER! It had 105 helium balloons. Oh yeah, he brought a parachute too!
That's insanely-awesome. However, that fame and glory did cost him $1,500 when he was apparently violating air traffic rules.
A 49-year-old was recently caught running nude through his Michigan community. Why? Well, he claims the only reason he had done so was because he was "seeking excitement."
That's an awesome reason to be running nude through your very own community!
But as a result, he has received 30 days in prison for this insanely-awesome stunt!
Police in Washington are now puzzled by an attempted robbery involving a 14-year-old girl. At first, it begins with the robber sneaking onto someone's property then threatening a 14-year-old girl claiming he'd shoot her in the head if the people on the property didn't hand over all their money.
Then, one neighbour says that they just finished dinner and invites the guy to have a glass of wine. After having wine and cheese, the man wielding the gun decided to apologize and was given a group hug.
He then left with the wine glass. What a nice guy.
A man in Kentucky landed at a local airport did a routine check of his plane before landing... except for one thing: wheels.
Without them, Thomas Lepsch's Beechcraft Bonanza skidded a few hundred metres down the runway at the Middlesboro/Bell County Airport before coming to a stop.
Well, if you live here in Calgary like I do, and you enjoy the occasional drink or enjoy getting drunk, you've probably been to Cowboys. In fact, Prozzak performed there before. But yeah... some of you may or may not know this but, the bar is moving and its current building will be demolished.
Well, it's been a possibility since the first day the bar opened. I just can't believe it's happening now, eleven (11) years later. The really crappy thing is, the new location isn't as big.
However, they are trying to make the new location as much like the current one as possible. That's all we can hope for. Plus, you can't forget the crime that has happened just outside. Ah... the memories. Plus, you can't forget the recent Nicole Cymbalisty thing.
Picture me this: a cadre of farmers on the outskirts of Beijing gather in the Fragrant Hills and gaze at the sky. They do not pray to Buddha, nor do they perform a rain dance. Instead, they grab rocket launchers and a 37-millimeter anti-aircraft gun and begin shooting into the sky.
What the fuck's up with that, mother-fucker?
No, this is not an episode of 24 or the sequel to Red Dawn, this is weather control, baby.
After watching the mercury soar, hardening the already cracked soil of their dying orchards and farms, the farmers launch not bullets or missiles, but chemical pellets designed to "seed" the clouds with silver-iodide particles around which moisture can then collect and become heavy enough to fall.
Heavy, isn't it?
Yes, these farmers are part of China's growing Weather Modification Program. Each of China's more than 30 provinces and province-level municipalities have a weather-modification base, employing more than 32,000 people, 7,100 anti-aircraft guns, 4,991 special rocket launchers and 30-odd aircraft across the country.
Turns out Chinese scientists have been researching man-made rain as far back as 1958, using chemicals such as silver iodide or dry ice to facilitate condensation in moisture-laden clouds, ease drought and improve harvests for Chinese farmers. In fact, they’ve even been given a challenge: to create clear skies for the Summer Olympic Games next year.
I would also like them to make the sun shine through my window every time I please a woman sexually. Is that too much too ask?
I'm back... from a wedding! For more than a week, a man in Vancouver has claimed/maintained that three home invaders broke into his townhouse and invaded his new bride and ultimately killing her.
Now, it turns out, he is the only suspect in the slaying.
And as for the Sikh community that knows him, he was apparently getting ready to get out of town and eventually, the country.
The Simpsons Movie may not have made much money this past weekend here in North America based on my standards, but they sure kicked major ass overseas as they the movie grossed about $96 million over 71 territories.

Analog television is going to die a painful death on February 17, 2009 and the U.S. government is worried that America may not have gotten the memo.
We all know and love the Real Canadian Superstore and here in western Canada, the stores charge $0.04 a bag to encourage your lazy ass to bring your own bags and recycle. But over in Ontario, the stores are slightly different with the cashiers having to bag your items for you.

Long Beach airport, outside of Los Angeles, was shut down briefly on Wednesday. The culprit wasn't a Middle Easterner with a grudge against capitalism or an adorable orphan hiding in the wheelwell of private jet. Instead, it was a videogame.

You know what store I like a lot? It's convenient, and carries a wide assortment of crazy merchandise. But, the most useful service to me is the Canada Post outlet that most stores have. But, in the prairie provinces, new stores will not be carrying something people across the country spend a hell of a lot of money on: cigarettes.
We already know Quebec shouldn't be a part of Canada, or North America for that matter. But, it'd still be a shame if Quebec separated from Canada. Why? Well, there are a lot of great things about Canada that I can't even think of but having a province full of funny-looking French people should be one of them.

If there's any celebrity who has made headlines lately, it would have to be that stupid-menace-to-society Lindsay Lohan. First, there was that whore Paris Hilton who was sent to jail for 45 days but was released days later, only to be sent into prison again by the same judge but she didn't serve the whole 45 days. Then, now, there's Lindsay Lohan.
Roger Ebert has, by all accounts, very little time left on Earth, in this life anyway. So, why he would choose to use it rankling gamers is completely beyond us, yet that's exactly what he's doing. Seems "Mr. Thumbs Up" has decided that videogames aren't "high art," since the artist fails to see it through completion, and once a gamer gets a hold of the game, he changes the concept by playing it, therefore nullifying the art.
I have even more proof that the Kwik-E-Mart is kick-ass. According to an incredibly-long-but-detailed article from ABC News, sales at 7-Eleven stores converted to the new Kwik-E-Mart have doubled.

I am Huy Dang. And I know all. And I happen to know most of you out there are douche-bags that enjoy watching CBS. You can't wait for your favourite CBS television shows, like Cold Case and CSI: Topeka, and you don't like it when you turn your stories on and they're late! CBS has your back, bitch. They're going to start text-messaging viewers and letting them know when their favourite shows are going to be late because of news or sports, or those damn kids.
You remember Broadcom, don't you? During the technology boom, the guy who founded the company, Henry T Nicholas III, became freaking rich. Now, we come to find that he used a bunch of that money to build a "grotto" in which to satisfy his hunger for ecstasy, cocaine, and hookers. The $30 million grotto was built under his mansion in Laguna Hills.

Well... not only is there going to be a Simpsons movie. There's going to be a videogame. But, the game will also make fun of the videogame industry the same way the television show which we have grown to love during the past 18 years makes fun of pop-culture.
Remember that stupid show Strangers with Candy? Well, for the 500th episode of The Simpsons, there will be a crossover with that show.
