Good Evening, World!
Welcome to my newest feature soon to be forgotten once I'm distracted by something shiny and/or boobs.
NPNN! Not Particularly Nerdy News!
See folks, whether I really intended it or not: This is a Nerd Blog. I'm a Nerd, so I write about what I know and what I like--Most of my readers are Nerds, so I write about things I hope will interest them.
But sometimes things of a less than nerdy nature will capture my interest and practically beg me to blog about them. Thus: NPNN!
Tonight's story: You folks seen this?
This is a J Crew ad that was sent in a mailer to thousands of consumers. Now, if you're a rational person, you're probably wondering not only what it's doing on my little Nerd Blog, but why it's ANYWHERE but in the J Crew ad it was made for.
If, on the other hand, you work for CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, or any of the major network news affiliates, then you see a vital debate on either a potential threat to the sexual identity of our children (WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!) OR, an exploration of the growing phenomenon of juvenile transvestitism--depending on the slant of the outlet you work for.
Shut up...Seriously--newspeople everywhere: Just. Shut. The. Fuck. Up! Please!
If you must know the details, here's a link to an article in the Daily Mail...Somehow I feel better linking to a non-American news source in this case.
See, I'm not here to pick a side and join the debate--I'm here to say that anybody who would consider this a subject WORTHY of debate is fucked in the head: There are no winners in such an argument, only two different flavors of losers.
Imagine someone trying to start a debate on whether water is wet. There are only two possible responses: Either you're a rational person who knows water is fucking wet, or you're a delusional psychotic. So if you enter the debate: You're either mentally disturbed...or worse--the kind of person who would attempt to ARGUE with the mentally disturbed!
Yeeeah...that oughtta just about do it: I don't wanna give this non-issue any more press than necessary.
Tune in next time to NPNN--whenever I'm bored and there isn't anything sufficiently geeky to talk about.
Good Night, And Have A Pleasant Tomorrow.

Hi Boys and Girls!
No, the title doesn't mean I'm not going to continue trying(and failing)to bring you a new piece of awesome eye-candy each week, but I'm truly at a loss for how I can ever possibly top a Japanese dance troupe ripping off Janet Jackson while singing the praises of The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past. My God, just look at this buffet of wonderfulness (and could they have found a cuter girl to play Link? Honestly, Japan, you confuse me enough as it is.):
Japanese video game commercials tend to be weird even by Japan's standards, but WOW. I wish there were a way to properly express my feelings about this masterful achievement, but I'm struck dumb. So instead, I'll throw a bone to the patriotic crowd and show you the psychotic American advertisement for the original Legend Of Zelda which burned itself irrevocably into my memory back in '88 and made acquiring the game an obsession, even though the ad itself tells you little or nothing about the actual game. All I could gather is I'm looking for someone or something called Zelda, and I'll be surrounded by things like Octoroks, Tektites, and Leevers which I should be scared shitless of.
That's all for now, but stay tuned--I've some interesting things planned for the near future...
