The First Commercial To Make Me Curious......About the World It Inhabits.
The SNICKERS commercial with the sharks being focus tested.
Normally, even really amusing commercials get grating after I see them a few times, but this one hasn't gotten old yet. And, unlike any other commercial I've ever seen, it makes me curious about the circumstances surrounding the events portrayed therein.
Not so much due to the existence of talking, air-breathing sharks. That I can take as a given. The fascinating element is the brutality. Not only is a company (Mars, Inc.?) feeding live people to sharks for the sake of focus testing, but the human executive in the commercial is a complete psychopath who thinks nothing of murdering people for the sake of the product. Presumably, shortly after the commercial ends, the sharks eat the next guy alive as the executive watches cheerfully. Why don't the sharks eat her? Obviously, it's because she's providing them with food. Once the test ends and she tel

The Meaning of ChristmasBased on the poll for Best Christmas Icon, I have determined semi-scientifically that Christmas is primarily about the following:
48%, nearly half, is about irony. Enjoying the so-bad-it's-good aspects and the unintentional humor is pretty necessary, considering how much forced, pseudo-heartwarming cheer we force ourselves to dreck the halls with to try to maintain the holiday spirit we're told we're monsters if we don't experience. Who wants to listen to the same boring old Christmas carols every year? Old people, that's who. The younger generations get to ironically experience the cheer and merriment of Christmas in the Stars, Pokémon Christmas Bash, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas.
15%, only 1.5/10 but still significant, is about taking the true spirit of Christmas back from the atheists and other curmudgeons who want to tell us to have "Happy holidays". It's about being insulted when someone wishes you joy but does so the

Toonami Returnsby ~NAveryW

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Humourous

But this time it's not as nice

Oh Shit, NOT THAT. My Life Me was terrible.

I love how it's a picture of Towes instead of that emo chick that nobody cares about.

i've always thought (since toonami died) that us 90s fans should organize a channel showing the best anime had to offer in the past 2.5 decades. like g4 (the good version from back around 2005) mixed with toonami and a few other things. i'm sure we'd ge tons of viewers once word spread.

That would be a good idea.

~antigravity93 Apr 10, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

i think it would work. we serialize the best of the best and leave the other crap for funimation. keep it to smaller high quality series that range from new to back in the late 80s.
it has potential... i just need to figure the logistics of it.

~RainingFlight Apr 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeah, that's a nice idea.
And I see, all it would need as well maybe a codename for it or a name for the project, lol. xD

But yeah you got up a cool idea.

~antigravity93 Apr 10, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

thanks, though getting a hold of a channel might be a problem. the FCC is buying all free channels and selling them for huge prices.

however if theres support, chances are theres a way.

~RainingFlight Apr 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

What about if the channel is owned by like the company that made it up rather than being independent?

That would be good and to listen fans of the new channel since larger channels (such as Cartoon Network duh lol) that do have larger fans don't listen to them anymore I think. But that'd be cool. Just some concepts

~antigravity93 Apr 10, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

i just think someone coming out of left field with a network dedicated to people who grew up in the 90s would be the best. showing that despite the "mainstream" saying our interests are lame, a ton of like-minded people could come out of the wood work and proove them wrong.

~RainingFlight Apr 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Mhm I see. That would work.
