Do the witch test to be sure

It gave the villagers the finger, so there’s no recourse but to flip nature off and kill the damned things.

That’s the theory we’re coming up with at SG Plaza over the aye-aye. Reportedly, the creature from Madagascar is very close to being put in the endangered column due to superstitious beliefs regarding it in the Madagascan culture. Why so? Local legends say that it would attempt to use its extra long middle finger to stab the heart (or maybe just STAB AT THEE-see, I got it right this time, Rick and Groonk) of sleeping citizens. It probably doesn’t help that it never seemed to have evolve the “fear of humans” gene.

Here’s a twist: what if they’re utterly delicious? Eh? Maybe superstition was just a reason cooked up to mess with outsiders. Betcha never thought about that, huh?

This is war, and in this new and exciting politically correct and culturally sensitive world, why should we put a creature above a culture? I bet they wouldn’t do the same for us.

Dreamworks Animation: Quantity is quality

This one stars Jack Black.Dreamworks announced that they will make more animated movies per year than they have in the past.

Right now, they have eight scheduled for release by 2012, including:

  • A Kung Fu Panda sequel*
  • Another Madagascar sequel*
  • Another ####ing Shrek sequel*
  • Four films that are identical (but with a twist!) to whatever Pixar puts out each year
  • And one for the grown-ups — PG-13, of course

So, yes, technically, there will be more “new” “Dreamworks” films every year from now to 2012. We, for four, certainly can’t wait to see each and every one of them!
