Really Cartoon Network? Really? Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Young Justice Dropped by Cartoon Network via Batman: Gotham Knights Online by Garrey on 1/28/13 Cartoon Network has just released their 2013-2014 schedule of shows and there are a couple noted shows that didn't make the cut.  Below is a list of CN's returning series list: RETURNING SERIES/SPECIALS Adventure Time Regular Show Annoying Orange MAD The Amazing World of Gumball The Looney Tunes Show Ben 10 Omniverse Dreamworks Dragons: Riders of Berk Scooby-Doo! Mystery Inc. Johnny Test Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova Beyblade Metal Fury Almost Naked Animals Scaredy Squirrel Notice Young Justice and Green Lantern Animated Series is NOT listed. This comes to shock for most of us but as some of you know a lot of shows rely on the sales of toys. The Young Justice toy line along with GL did very poor. So (in my opinion) a good television program suffers due to...

I wrote this in response to a friend who posted a blog entry about heroes and memes over a year ago: Yes, I am a fan of anime; right now, my two favorites are FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Naruto: Shippuden ! And the reason I'm in to these particular shows is one word: pluck. Both main characters, Naruto and Edward Elric (Naruto: Shippuden! and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, respectively) are literally and figuratively the shortest dogs in the fight; two very powerful human beings who through sheer will and sticktoitiveness increased their abilities exponentially! They never stop, they never quit! Sure, there are many real life artist, writers, athletes, scholars, etc. who also have pluck, but there's something about these two characters that speak to me more than there real life counterparts. In Nartuo's case, he's been an outcast since birth! He was born into a village of ninjas and when said village was attacked by a very dangerous creature c...

I saw a snippet, and I was okay with it! Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: EXCLUSIVE: 'ThunderCats' Clip Lights Up Comic-Con via Splash Page by Splash Page Team on 7/22/11 by Ryan J. Downey Thunder, Thunder, ThunderCats! Ho!! Not at San Diego Comic-Con ? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

I hate you, Russell Brand. Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Derriere of the Day via TDW Tease by Cheezburger Network on 7/25/11 Derriere of the Day: Katy Perry offered more than a little lip-lock to Smurfette at the Smurfs premiere — like some upskirt action for the paparazzi. Check out more blue carpet pics after the jump.

This chick is a babe and a half! Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Too Much Ass for Comic-Con? via nerdbastards.com by Mark Poynter on 7/26/11 Adrianne Curry (pictured above) tweeted that her Aeon Flux cosplay was too hot for San Diego Police. Adrianne tweeted: Adrianne "updated" her costume with a red sash to eliminate the offending "Cheekage." (Do I smell a "Collosal Comic-Con Cosplay Cheekage Collection" in NerdBastards future?) There have not been any pictures of her costume showing the offending area, a bit peculiar if you ask this NerdBastard considering her Playboy and Maxim photo shoots. Adrianne hasn't been shy before and doesn't seem to have any problem with people seeing her posterior. Most likely we'll see some later in the day. Meanwhile . . . I'll be in my bunk.

Not good... Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Why I'll miss Dwayne McDuffie via DC Women Kicking Ass on 2/22/11 Because he had a vision of comic superheroes for kids and people of all races. And he made it happen. I've told this story before, but I will tell it again. When the Hostess cupcakes promotion happened last fall featuring Batman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern, my friend showed her son the box. He took one look at it and said, "that's not the Green Lantern, the Green Lantern is black." And he is to millions of kids, because of Dwayne McDuffie. And Static is a cool character for kids because of Dwayne McDuffie. And Vixen is as well known as Black Canary to many people, because of Dwayne McDuffie. His vision, his work, his belief that EVERYONE deserves to have a superhero like them, shouldn't be forgotten. Must not be forgotten. RIP and thanks.
