So in Brazil, there is a ad campaign for Fit Light Yogurt that restage sexy movie scenes but add overweight woman. The tagline for the campaign is “Forget about it. Men’s preference will never change.” Which is total bullshit. Men’s preferences have changed throughout history. At one time, a thicker woman was more attractive to the masses. I don’t see how trying to shame your customer base is a good marketing idea. Also the woman above look’s quite hot. Better then the source material in my opinion. What do you think?

Criterion games announced today, that ࠌBurnout Paradise will be getting motorcycles and night-time driving. The update, titled “Davis,” will release sometime in August. There is no word if this update will cost anything. Being a long time Burnout fan, I am quite excited to see them adding things never before seen in the Burnout franchise- though I can’t help but feel this is a shot over Midnight Club 4.

During this year’s Comic Con NYC weekend, I got a chance to check out Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Coin Up custom vinyl show over at the Concrete Jungle. Just in case you didn’t know: a “Soopa” is a vinyl toy that has a shape reminiscent of an old school Coleco Tabletop Arcade from the 80’s. As you would guess, there were quite a few video game based custom designs. It ranged from such classics as Super Mario Brothers to Centipede. My favorite piece from the show was the broken Arcade cabinet; the detail on it was amazing and it even lit up. Great customs all around! You can see more from the show over at Saki’s Flickr page, as well as her blog at Sakiwrotewhat.com. You can also see some more custom after the jump.

So here is Scarlett from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. Not bad but they have the color scheme is wrong. as you see from the picture below. There is a lot of brown in her suit. Seems like the movie is going to be all about black leather.

During the 80’s there was a series of movies called Faces Of Death. In these movies they had explicit scenes depicting a variety of ways to die. Some of it was fake (Not that I knew that when I was a kid) but it had some real footage in it. What I didn’t know at the time they came out, is that they are part of a genre of movies called Mondo films. Which is a documentary film about sensational topics and scenes. Check out the video above for a looks at this strange and sometimes really disturbing genre. While you are at it subscribe to PaulKuk YouTube channel. He has some great old documentaries up there.

When I heard they were making a Batman Anime to go along with the upcoming movie, I was a bit iffy but after seeing this trailer that is all gone. It looks quite good and they get points for bring back Kevin Conroy as Batman. It’s coming out in July 8th, 2008 on DVD and Blu-Ray.

So at Moscow’s Military Medicine Laika the dog is getting a statue. What makes this dog so special? Well he is the first living thing to be in space. That’s right he is a Space Dog. Take that Lassie. In 1957 the Russian launched him into orbit around earth. Forever putting his mark on space travel. Sadly he never made the return flight home as he died when the thermal control systems failed and the capsule overheated. Still to go from Stray dog to Space pioneer is a pretty damn big feat for such a little dog. Glad to see that he will be remembered.

Quarantine is a remake of the Spain film [REC]. If the trailer is any indication of the final film. They look like they did a great job remake it. Well then again, I didn’t see [REC] but the trailer was great. Let hope they this is as least as good as Diary of the Dead.

There is still a big part of the world that see gamers in terms of stereotypes; telling us games are for kids and to grow up. So when you have a mainstream show like “Tyra Banks’ Show” that hosts a couple in which the guy happens to be a Gamer, you would think that their “expert” would explain that video games are just a form of entertainment. A gamer is no different then say a movie buff. Now if the “expert” is X-play’s Morgan Webb, you would think that being in the gaming industry would give her a insight. Sadly this was not the case, she put us all into video game stereotypes. Now I remember why I hate X-play.
