Alright, we’ve played with the toys and we’ve seen the artist’s work (the blog from which I stole the following, in fact), but this is the real clincher. Below, I present one of the original Madballs TV ads and a brand new one for Nickelodeon.

Not bad, though it is missing the high-pitched voice tinged with insanity. Bonus points for use of the phrase “totally gross!”
Thanksgiving was, indeed, a GRANDE meal. Before the eating festivities began, I had my first ground-level Macy’s parade experience, which was a lot more enjoyable than I would have thought it to be. I mean, you can’t really imagine the excitement of seeing the real Kermit the Frog until you’ve seen the real Kermit the Frog. I took some video of The Very Best Floats, which I’m sure you’ll all find titillating once I finally upload it in the least timely fashion possible.
So here’s the question: would you prefer to see my groundbreaking parade coverage before 2009 or right on the cusp of it, because I can make EITHER happen. Who am I kidding, you really have no say in this matter, do you? I’ll splice together some spicy footage and make it happen at some point in the next 365 days. Maybe before the next parade hits. For now, I’ve got a lot of writing to do and, if you’ve been especially good this year, some of those words might land on this very page.
Also, I need to figure out how to get Faith to the end of the final room without firing a single bullet. Speaking of which, there is a new episode of Robotronic Dynamite available for you to enjoy today.

What we have here is the latest short from RD madman Umair Aleem, folks! In his own words, The Vicious Vice of Mrs. Fenech is “an homage to the wonderfully bizarre, funky, psychedelic (& at times nonsensical) euro-thrillers: the Gialli!” Written and directed by Umair Aleem, starring Rhiannon Alexander and other screen legends, and featuring music by Brandon Fincher, you just might find yourself slapping on a couple black leather gloves after watching this one.

After finally seeing the Clone Wars CG movie I can, with bursting confidence, claim Rotta the Huttlet AKA “Stinky” AKA (according to Jabba) “Punky Muffin” George Lucas’s most inspired creation.
Luke WHO? Boba WHAT? Yeah, those were all farts of the mind at best before Rotta stepped into the spotlight. As brain-shatteringly brilliant as I find the little bugger, though, I also feel a bit cheated. His unique design couldn’t have come from any other source than Yours Truly, who created a similar character at the turn of the century in one of the Samurai claymation shorts. That’s right, just take a look at “Baby Gay” and see if you don’t cry ripoff.
