Let's Do The News! (December 6, 2012)

Kurt and Blaine from Glee wins Hypable's Battleships Polls
against Doctor Who's Rose and the Tenth Doctor


(cheers and applause)

Excellent source of material Hammo...Excellent source of research. Turns out that two dudes from Fox's musical TV comedy-drama show Glee trounced the outdated but still admired tandem of Rose Tyler and the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who.

Glad I was awake to stay alert on these popularity polls...

Excellent work and excellent research lad....

Now let's do the news!

Okay, there's been of a news going on because parts of Visayas and Mindanao were heavily hammered down by Typhoon Pablo over the days since it made landfall in Tuesday. This is somewhat feels like 2011's Typhoon Sendong but with a million times more painful than that because it was the strongest to hit Philippines this year. I know, very sad.

So, with Pablo bidding adios, casualty stats?

Let's see um....about 325 dead and 378 missing according to NDRRMC chief Benito Ramos but the toll count will continue as retrieval operations continue.


I see. And hey, do you remember last year when Sendong battered parts of Mindanao and Visayas, there was a message written on the door of a washed-out house that seems to be a very sad message...

What's saying?

It says "A Bloody Christmas and a very sad New Year".

Whoa! That's terrible! And true because how come the Pablo victims celebrate Christmas when there's nothing left? It's a sad fate for those who survived Pablo's wrath but if you don't want their Christmas to be Bloody and their New Year to be very sad...feel free to donate at the Philippine Red Cross. Any donations, big or small amounts, will be welcomed at http://www.redcross.org.ph/donate and with you giving back to the Philippine Red Cross, you are helping numerous Pablo survivors, making this a perfect Christmas gift for the benefit of the less fortunate.

(cheers and applause)

What kind-hearted words you're saying...

Yeah, seems that you want to spread the word to help everyone affected by Typhoon Pablo.

Exactly. So anyway, let's move on because there's been new figures coming out next year...

Like what James?

There was Good Smile Company revealed their 1/8th scale figure modeled after Mayo Chiki's Masamune Usami. On sale this Spring 2013 but preorders are open for 7800 Yen.

(sigh) Really didn't like this...

(audience laughing)

Wha...what? Why not?

The only thing that interests me is when Masamune is on her racing swimsuit from episode five of the Mayo Chiki anime. That's what made me thrilled when I saw her in her skin-tight one-piece racing swimsuit.

Ahem...Jeremy, this is what they've got. Sorry to say that they're not going to make a figure of her wearing a racy one-piece racing swimsuit...

(audience laughing)

So what's next?

Kotobukiya unveiled a brand-new figure modeled after a fan-favorite character from the most-talked Sword Art Online TV anime. Who was that name again?

Asuna...

Asuna! Yes! It's a proper Asuna figure, proper enough to please SAO fans.


I tell you what, it seems that SAO is going on strong because of the fans and that Asuna character remains one of the all-time fan-favorite in the series next to male lead Kirito. With this Asuna figure, it seems that most SAO fans worldwide are going to say "woo-hoo! My favorite SAO character!"

(audience laughing)

Which seems very unlikely for someone within your age...(laughing)

Well okay. It's cool if you're a 20-year-old lad living in your parents' home or a condo unit.

(audience laughing)

Hey guys! BMW's launching a replacement to the 3-Series Coupe, in concept form, at next month's Detroit Auto Show. It's called the BMW 4-Series and hey, it's still a 3-Series with two-doors only...

BMW 4-Series Concept


So the rumors are true. Seems that their next 3-Series Coupe is no longer be called the 3-Series Coupe because of BMW's new naming scheme that for now on, they will use even numbers for coupes (or four-door sports saloons in the case of the Gran Coupes).

So the meaning is that even numbers for coupes and Gran Coupes and then odd numbers for saloons or GTs like for example the 5-Series GT, which remains the ugliest BMW ever made because it looks like a pair of testes...

(audience laughing)

I agree with you that. The 5-Series GT does look like a pair of testes. Good thing I didn't like that car...

(audience laughing)

And on that bombshell, that's the news!
