Angry Birds' World Domination

Okay, I feel pretty comfortable stating that 'Angry Birds' is taking over the world. The popular game started out just being on phones, and now has been made into a board game, carnival game, and now is about to be released as an animated television show. This move will make it the first original mobile IP to be transitioned into another form of mass media. I am kind of curious to see who they are going to market it to. I mean, sure kids play the game along with adults, but realistically, it is going to be a cartoon about suicidal birds who try to kill pigs. Doesn't really seem kid-friendly to me... but I am impressed. This phenomenon has managed to make it to every platform imaginable!

Day 3- A picture of the cast from your favorite show

So, call me a geek all you want, Buffy is the best show ever to be on television. Joss Whedon is pretty much my hero, and I will never really understand why the networks can't see the genius, but whatev. That's why god invented tv on dvd, right? :) Okay, so while Buffy is my favorite show of all time, there are a few others that are close competitors. Angel, Chuck, Battlestar Galactica, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Eureka, and Criminal Minds are all shows that I consider to be brilliant beyond belief. So maybe I am a little bit of a geek, I can handle that. If any of you naysayers out there are judging me on this choice, thinking perhaps that Buffy is a silly show about teenagers fighting mythical creatures, I will remind you that Buffy started the whole mainstream-vampire thing. Yes, I know Bram Stoker and Anne Rice wrote about vampires before 1997, but Buffy is responsible for the vampire pop culture craze. So before you judge, just think, without Whedon's vision, you wouldn't have your True blood obsession, there would be no Team Edward/Team Jacob feud, and cinematic masterpieces (I jest) like Vampire Diaries might have never been on the air. :)
