Some guys in Iraq are taking US movie posters and changing them to send a “chilling message” to US troops stationed there. Most are pretty cheesy but a couple are pretty decent looking like the Land of the Dead one. [Link]

Transformers at Fantasy World
Fantasy World are selling a bunch of Transformer toys but the highlight has to be the large Optimus Prime action figure. They are selling it for around KD37 but on Amazon its being sold for $65. I’ve seen the same model but the limited edition Japanese version (metal) in Muthana Complex for KD80.
A trailer for the most ridiculous Japanese zombie film ever.

With the success of Transformers this was bound to happen. [Link]
DJ Tiesto Riot in Bahrain
Yesterday Tiesto was supposed to be playing in Bahrain but it seems the organizers were liars and Tiesto never ended up showing up. When people started booing the organizers (B&D Entertainment), security started throwing people out and that resulted in a riot. Abadi, a blogger in Bahrain has a full right up writeup of what happened and like the thousands of people who paid to watch Tiesto, he is really pissed. [Link]

The 100 Best Videogames by EDGE
Ummm sorry but Super Metroid should have been first, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night should have at least been in the top 10 and so should have Shenmue. Still an interesting list to go through if you are a videogame fan. [Link]
E-Mail for People Without PCs
I’ve always had a thing for fax machines. To me they felt like mini teleportation machines, you put a document in one machine then it comes out again in another. I just found out HP has something similar but for emails. It was a mini printer created for people who don’t have a computer, you just plug the printer to the Internet and it will check your email and then print out any new ones you receive. If only there was a way to reply back…. [Link]

Takeru Kobayashi Loses
Today was the famous International Hot Dog Eating Competition in the US. Me and some friends have been talking about this competition for a few days now and I had a feeling Kobayashi was going to lose because he had an injury (jaw problem). I turned out to be right because he lost to Joey Chestnut who is now the world champion. Kobayashi who was the champion for the past 6 years straight managed to eat 63 hot dogs in 12 minutes compared to Joey who ate 66. [Link]
Kobayashi is still the hamburger eating champion (97 hamburgers in 8 minutes). [Link]
