The 25 Greatest Moments in TMNT History from ADVENTURES IN POOR TASTE

~ t

Someone is in Biggs Trouble

This just in, someone famous said something incredibly stupid, causing an uproar from people who disagree, leading them to grab their torches and pitchforks and call for his head, or at least his job.

For those of you who don’t know by now, all 5 of you, Jason Biggs took to Twitter during the Republican National Convention and posted some off color tweets about the candidates and their wives and even Clint Eastwood. (Since this is a family blog I’ll refrain from posting them. Then again, you could probably hit Google for the particulars of the bile.) Since then parents have called for Nickelodeon to fire him from his new gig as Leonardo, leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (hey, maybe that’s why this is showing up here.)

Now I’m not going to defend Biggs’ tweets, because quite frankly they’re indefensible, (That and I’m… a REPUBLICAN!!! Duh Duh DUH!!!!) BUT I will say, this is ‘Merica, and Jason Biggs can say pretty much whatever he wants (except maybe “FIRE!!” in a crowded theater). I may disagree with what he said, and find it to be beyond vile, but come on man, 1st Amendment, he can post whatever he wants to Twitter. He is within his rights to discuss Paul Ryan’s masturbatory habits.

That being said his Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean Freedom from Consequences. Biggs can spew whatever disgusting garbage comes into his diseased mind, but you know what, Nickelodeon has every right to fire the bum too. I don’t know what his contract say, if it has a morality clause or not, but if Nick feels that his speech is just sick enough, they can fire him. It’s their call.

I’m not gonna call for Jason Biggs head. (To be honest, I kinda hope they don’t. Could you imagine the delay to the series if they have to redub his lines? Although it would make the Leo FX figure sooo collectable.) That’s all up to Nick. Besides, I’d hate for someone to come to me and tell me that I couldn’t post what I want to on-li….THIS POST HAS BEEN CENSORED BY PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH KEVIN MCGILL’S POINT OF VIEW. TAKE THAT CONSTITUTION!

Edit: Folks have been wanting to know what was actually said. Jason’s comments can be found in this article. Please note: Extremely foul language.

New theme song and Sneak Peeks galore!

It is truly amazing the sheer amount of stuff that’s flying at us now in terms of the new series, the events at this years SDCC… I am getting more and more excited with what the creative team has come up with for the turtles.The difference between the preliminary animation we saw a few months back compared to now is mind-blowing, and all the little touches… the white ‘mirage eyes’ in battle, the textures of the bandaging on their hands. Even the little facial twitches and breathing movements. There’s such an incredible amount of work put into all of this. This could really rev up the fandom and bring in some new blood. 🙂

More announcements about the September premiere <– Update: Apparently, per Jason Biggs on the 4G coverage on Friday, this is going to be a one HOUR premiere!

Opening theme!

Training Showdown <– Fantastic Choreography. It’s serious battle, and not just slapstick-y kinda 3-Stooge-Fu… and no one turtle is overpowering the others.

TMNT Meet the Kraang

Enjoy!
