BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Simpsons ditched by Venezuelan TV

I know this isn’t tech related. I know missed the news that iTunes is now the king of music and so on. But I can’t pass this up.

A Venezuelan TV station has removed the popular cartoon series “The Simpsons” because of complaints from TV viewers and deemed unsuitable for children. It has now been replaced by Baywatch Hawaii.

Ah yes. Cartoons. But seriously, Baywatch?!?!

It is also noted that this station also airs a talk show by President Hugo Chavez.

Wow it’s been a long time since I posted

of course counting THE DAYS THAT MY STUPID DSL HAS BEEN OFF THE HOOK WHILE GETTINGLAME CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE SAME TIME AND WONDERING WHY IT TAKES THE LARGEST PHONE COMPANY IN THE COUNTRY A WEEK TO FIX MY STUPID DSL.

end of rant

I just had to get that out of my chest. It’s the single thing that I hate most. I can stand a day or two. But a week??? There should be a law that makes that a crime.

Anyhoo, here we are again and so much has happened since my last post. The iPhone madness has finally simmered down in the United States while other countries are eagerly awaiting their iPhones (Count me as one of them). 80GB PS3 are shipping soon. Xbox discloses failure rate of consoles and extending the warranty on all consoles for 3 years whoch will cost them $1.5 Billion. Xbox chief moves to EA. Ratatouille breaks new ground in animation and storytelling. Town hall meeting at Apple later today. Will you still buy stuff “made in China”? And so on. Not bad for a month. 

July had to be the my most emailed month ever. I just archived my email and it basically took a lot. 

Square-Enix announces the Final Fantasy Fan Festival to be held in Anaheim this November and I’m planning on going. I’m serious about it as well. I’ve never been to one before. The last time I did something like this was attending Wondercon in the Bay area years ago when I was still into comic books. I still am actually but now I mostly collect Japanese manga. I’m so excited. I don’t plan on wearing a costume to the event. I’m just there for the fun.

Until my next post. Later everyone.
