Dragonball Movie Trailer Douchebaggery

The first Dragonball movie trailer confirms everyone’s worst fears: Hollywood has taken a beloved anime saga and douched it up with a flashy car, spandex-clad chicks, and a heavy dose of pseudo-gravitas.

How fitting that it should feature a plucky American teen driving a yellow-and-black muscle car. So did another Hollywood movie that bastardized an animated classic: Transformers.

Jeremy Wright is a Coward

As a former top ten tech blogger for b5media, I cannot reveal the specifics of my dealings with b5media CEO Jeremy Wright. I can say, however, that it takes a true coward to punish your people for your own unpreparedness. That’s what Jeremy’s doing right now, cutting pay across b5media because he chose the wrong stat system.

The blogosphere is built on courage. Cowards have no place here. I am so glad I no longer have to deal with Jeremy Wright’s cowardice.
