A thought-provoking Tumblr Tuesday coming your way:
— The Daily Show straight-up destroys the Stop-and-Frisk argument that it doesn’t have a racial element to it:

— The Looney Tunes Show ends it run in two weeks, but so, so many questions abounds:

— “Midnight” is better than “Blink.” In fact, “Midnight” is the best episode of NuWho ever:

— I compare and contrast a villain from Kung Fu Panda 2 with its television equivalent:

— Somehow, a gif animation expands upon the details of an HD animated CGI movie:

The Great Pig-Off of 2013 – Final Round!
Posted by kjohnson1585 in Animation, Film, Television, Video Games, Writing on August 26, 2013
Well, well, well… this is it. The Great Pig-Off of 2013 has reached the final around. Two hogs remain, and only one will be crowned Prince or Princess Pig of all things ever.
The season finale of Gravity Falls gave Waddles enough staying power to beat back the literary favorite, Wilbur, quite handily. On the other side, Miss Piggy and Porky tussled a bit, but come on, Miss Piggy is, and has always been, a force to be reckoned with. So now we reached the end, the final round, the end of all things. Can Waddles overcome Miss Piggy’s wrath? Or with Miss Piggy demolish Mabel’s pet’s innocence? Vote now. Let’s end this. (Voting ends Friday at midnight.)

We are back with the third Round of the Great Pig-Off of 2013! We’re coming down to the wire! Eager to find out which fictional pig would be the most delicious pop culture pig of 2013! Metaphorically, of course.
I) Wilbur vs. Waddles
Wow. I was completely off here. Looks like the literary cartel came in and took out the film aficionados with an onslaught of votes for Charlotte’s Web’s lead pig over the sheep-herding swine. And, even though I predicted Pumbaa for the win, I did give myself some leeway for the season finale success of Gravity Falls to come in and swap victory from the jaws of the warthog, and true to form, Waddles did. So now it’s the battle of the W’s, and this is looking to be a good one.
I’m look at Waddles for this round, since he seems to be on a hot streak. The narrative crowd may come strong, but the Gravity Falls fans are a voracious bunch.

Loading ...II) Porky vs. Miss Piggy
I’m 0-3 with my predictions here. I thought for sure Ganon could come out on to here, but Porky seems to be a much more efficient than Link, taking down the video game villain with ease. I was right with Miss Piggy though, besting Colonel Spigot with nary a challenge. Now the battle of the P’s begin: the stuttering swine versus the vainest karate-chopping pig on the planet. Another great matchup in the works.
Tough call, but I’m going with Reddit here – Miss Piggy has a solid push into the final round.
Porky or Miss Piggy?
