Gundam 00: RIP Lockon

If you’ve got to go, go out with a bang. After narrowly cheating death two episodes ago, Gundam 00’s Lockon Stratos faces death like a true anime badass. After personally firing a giant gun in outer space, he does a Spike Spiegel right before the weapon detonates.

Lockon is survived by an evil twin, a loli, and a Haro. See you, Space Cowboy.

Marketingese

Anyone who’s ever worked with marketers can relate to this. Comedian and Fortune 100 consumer product director Kevin Nalts brilliantly strings together big meaningless words as the Enlightened Stupid Marketer.

I have a confession to make. When I was younger, I thought this sort of pretentious marketingese was “cool”. My first few jobs were in marketing, so I used to talk like my elders did. Guilty as charged here.
