Kim Jong-il dead, North Korea's future uncertain


www.nma.tv North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is dead. State media reported the Dear Leader died on Saturday due to "great mental and physical strain" while on a "high-intensity field inspection." News of Kim Jong-il's death prompted a great outpouring of public grief, though North Koreans could hardly be expected to display any other kind of emotion in the tightly managed Stalinist state. Kim's son, the 20-something Kim Jong-un aka the Bright Leader, is the heir apparent. But the younger Kim is not secure in his power and the elder Kim's death could result in a dangerous power vacuum in what is arguably the world's most dangerous flashpoint and potentially embroil China and the US in a military confrontation in the Korean Peninsula.

NMA threatened over 'Elf on the Shelf' satirical animation


www.nma.tv On Dec. 12, Next Media Animation released a satirical animation about The Elf on the Shelf, a doll marketed by Georgia book publisher CCA and B. It got attention of the company's lawyers, who sent a letter to NMA threatening legal action for alleged defamation and trademark infringement. "Elf on the Shelf all the rage for Christmas 2011″ drew upon a publicly expressed sentiment that the infant-sized elf doll — which, according to the accompanying storybook, keeps careful watch over a household on behalf of Santa Claus — is nothing more but a creepy way to coerce children into behaving and parents into buying Elf on the Shelf products. These ideas were taken to their hyperbolic conclusion by NMA in our parody of The Elf on the Shelf viral marketing as part of a more general satirization of how such products threaten the ethical pillars on which Christmas is built, namely, "to be good for goodness sake."

www.nma.tv Christmas is approaching, but will the poor people in the US get anything from Santa this year? Unfortunately, Santa also suffered in the economic crisis. He moved to the South Pole, Mrs. Claus is divorcing him, and the elves are all hooked on coke and snow. Who will come save Christmas? The Chinese, of course! So what does the Chinese Santa bring? There's no Elf on the Shelf to scare naughty kids, there's no gun show from Santa, there's only bunch of gifts and red envelopes that are filled with cash. By combining the Chinese new year's tradition, the US and the rest of the world will be saved by the generous Chinese wealth. Hurrah!

Golden State Warriors' Monta Ellis sued for sexting harassment


www.nma.tv Another sexual scandal rocks the NBA! Golden State Warriors' guard Monta Ellis is being sued by a former Warriors employee for sexual harassment. Erika Smith said Ellis bombarded her with suggestive text messages before sending her a photo of his genitals. Smith worked for the community relations department for the Warriors. She said Ellis sometimes sent her several lewd messages a day using a 'secret cellphone', starting from November 2010. Smith said she rejected Ellis' advances, but was worried she would not be believed if she came forward. Ellis' wife Juanika Ellis found out about the steamy texts and confronted Smith, apparently believing that Smith instigated the texts. Eventually, Smith was fired from her job. Smith is suing not just Ellis, but also the Golden State Warriors for wrongful dismissal among other charges.

Supreme Court overturns ban on violent video games


www.nma.tv Increasingly graphic and violent video games are popular entertainment for kids, leading opponents to worry about their influence on young minds. A California law prevented those under the age of 18 from purchasing violent video games. However, the Supreme Court recently struck down California's law by 7-2. Justice Antonin Scalia delivered the majority opinion. The law, he said, does not comport with the First Amendment, which guarantees free speech. He added that there was no tradition of shielding children from violent content in the US. However, the US government will continue shielding children from sexual content.

Joe Paterno fired: Penn State coach dismissed in abuse scandal


Famed Penn State University football coach Joe Paterno has been fired as a shocking abuse scandal tears through the campus. The pressure was on Paterno since the arrest of Athletic Director Tim Curley and another administrator, Gary Schultz. They are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report claims that a former football coordinator abused several young boys. Paterno also knew of the activity, but wasn't charged with a crime. At the center of the scandal is Jerry Sandusky, 67, who is facing 40 counts of various forms of abuse. Prosecutors say he was involved with eight boys between 1994 and 2009. Some sources claim there may be as many as 17 victims. Sandusky allegedly met his victims through his own youth charity, The Second Mile. Curley and Schultz were made aware of the abuses in 2002 when they met with then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary, who reported seeing Sandusky with a 10-year-old boy in a school shower. Other incidents allegedly took place at Sandusky's home and at a high school. One boy claimed Sandusky plied him with lavish gifts and marijuana. The two administrators each posted $75000 bail. Penn State is paying their legal fees, citing the charges have to do with how they performed their jobs. Sandusky was released on $100000 bail.

Happy Meal ban could hit New York City


www.nma.tv New York may be the next city to ban toys from children's fast food meals, following in San Francisco's footsteps. Legislation proposed by portly city Councilman Leroy Comrie would allow toys only in meals that meet certain nutrition standards. New York has been at the forefront of progressive health legislation under Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The city banned artificial trans fats from restaurants in 2006. NYC is also expanding its cigarette ban to include all city parks and Times Square, to the chagrin of many smokers. Many New Yorkers are wondering just how far new health laws will go. Some cities are resisting these health trends. Arizona approved a bill making it illegal to ban happy meals, though they have no problem banning the people who make them.

A first-round draft pick out of Nebraska last year, Suh has already established himself as the "dirtiest player" in the league, according to a poll of fellow players conducted by the Sporting News. The former Husker has nine personal fouls in his first two years, a league record, and has been fined a total of $42500. If Suh is suspended, he would lose $82000 per game in lost salary.

World events have been driving up the price of crude. It's been going wild, shooting up like an arrow, Holy shit, it's above a hundred dollars a barrel!

Ebert under fire for 'Jackass' tweet

Alcohol has yet to be ruled a factor in the crash that also killed a Jackass crew mate. Dunn's 'Jackass' co-star Bam Margera rallied in defense of his fallen friend. Commentators on Perez Hilton backed Ebert. Ebert's Facebook page went down. Facebook said it was an error. Ebert suspects Jackass fans flagged it in retaliation. Despite the brouhaha, Dunn will likely be remembered more for how he lived than how he died.

Louis CK tells fans "ask me anything" on Reddit


www.nma.tv Comedian Louis CK candidly answered fans' questions on the popular website Reddit during one of its so-called "ask me anything" sessions. The 44 year old performer-writer-director, whose birth name is Louis Szekely, gave insights into his life, both professional and personal. He explained acquiring total creative control over his critically-acclaimed FX comedy "Louie" was in exchange for a shoestring budget and little personal profit. He openly pined for the day he could afford to make another movie, or even buy a house. But, true to his stand up act, Louis balanced sobering reality with general silliness, admitting his least favorite memory was wetting his pants as a child in front of "everybody," which inexplicably included former US President Jimmy Carter and the Pope. The Q&A was part of a promotional push for Louis's new stand up special, Live at the Beacon Theater, which he has made available exclusively on his website for the unheard of price of US$5. It is the latest project in a storied career both before and behind the camera, which includes writing for landmark television series like Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live, and directing the 2001 comedy film Pootie Tang alongside friend and collaborator Chris Rock.

Steve Jobs Dead: RIP 1955-2011; his life and career


www.nma.tv Next Media Animation takes a look back and the life and career of Apple co-founder and chief executive Steve Jobs, who resigned that position late on Wednesday. Our tale begins with Steve Jobs dabbling in LSD and spiritual enlightenment, which Jobs describes as the "one of the two or three most important things [he had] done in [his] life". Man, look at all the colors. Hey, that gives me an idea for a company logo. Jobs would then found Apple with Steve Wozniak and a third guy who cashed out his shares waaaaaay too early, so we didn't bother to animate him. In 1984, Jobs unveiled the Macintosh and forever revolutionized personal computing. But the good times wouldn't last. John Sculley, the executive Jobs hired away from Pepsi, bounced Jobs from the company he founded. Jobs would get his revenge by starting another company, Pixar. He produced 'Toy Story' and sold the animation company to Disney for a fat profit. Jobs finally returned to Apple and defeated arch nemesis Bill Gates to become the baddest mofo in tech. Jobs was then diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and required a live-saving liver transplant. Apple now faces a threat from Google Android. Thankfully, Jobs can pass the baton to chief operating officer Tim Cook.

www.nma.tv Gamers everywhere are going crazy for Skyrim, the fifth installment of the popular Bethesda Softworks role-playing video game series The Elder Scrolls. Bethesda has shipped seven million copies, selling over three million in just its first two days on the shelves.

Through the manipulation of weapons, both physical and mystical, the Dragonborn mounts a quest to save his crumbling empire from the menacing dragon-god Alduin. The game is named after its setting, the Skyrim region of the fictional continent Tamriel. It's on the brink of civil war following the assassination of its High King, with a rebel faction known as the Stormcloaks jockeying for against the Imperials. Critics are praising Skyrim for its painstaking attention to detail and immerse plots. Players may follow the game's main Dragonborn storyline, or may choose to participate in numerous side quests as exciting as a criminal's or as mundane as a merchant's. Along the way, players can climbs mountains, hunt animals and even get married. The game is not without its bugs. Reports of flying horses and other peculiarities have popped up on blogs and message boards. Bethesda Softworks says it is aware of the issues and is working on a patch, which, to the sure chagrin of fanatical gamers, won't be available until some time after Thanksgiving.

He told Obama he was a one-term president. And he said Bill Gates "would be a broader guy" if he dropped acid. The biography also hints at a new version of Apple TV controlled by Siri. It looks like the spirit of Steve will be with Apple for some time to come. Will Apple carry out Jobs' goal of waging "thermonuclear war" on Android? Afraid that Apple will flounder like Disney after Walt passed on, Jobs told his successor Tim Cook never to ask "What would Steve do?" Instead, Cook should do what's right.

Video gamers' brains are different


www.nma.tv People like to blame video games for a lot of society's problems. They say video games make people more violent, lazy, addicted, and unhealthy. But there have been several findings that show that video games can be good for you, even good for society, and that there is simply a difference between people who like to play games and people who don't. A test on the brains of frequent game players showed a larger ventral striatum, which is the section of the brain that releases dopamine upon anticipation of a reward such as money, food or sex. (Dopamine is also released when people smoke cigarettes or do cocaine or amphetamines.) Video games also provide a distraction for people who are in physical pain or recovery from an injury. It's good to have an alternative to being shot up with painkillers all the time. Games can also teach social skills to the socially challenged by providing real life scenarios where the player must make choices on how best to respond. Video game players have been found to be better surgeons, soldiers, and drivers. Games can train them to make quick and accurate decisions and practice their hand-eye coordination. A test found that the more games a surgeon had played, the better they were at certain types of procedures.

My Little Pony attracts Brony fans


www.nma.tv Out of the swamps of 4Chan came an unlikely trend. "Bronies" are adult male fans of the My Little Pony cartoon series. They were mercilessly persecuted in 4Chan, but they responded with love and tolerance. My Little Pony is aimed at little girls. But bronies say it is surprisingly well-written and beautifully animated. Sick of the negativity on 4Chan, the bronies set up their own Internet HQ where they can post to their heart's content. Haters are gonna hate, but learning the lessons of friendship can only make life better for everypony.

Kobe Bryant's divorce from wife Vanessa gets ugly


www.nma.tv Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is mired in a bitter divorce from his wife of 10 years, Vanessa Bryant. She cites irreconcilable differences in papers filed with the Superior Court of California in Orange County on Friday, however TMZ has reported Kobe's serial cheating is the real reason for the split. Vanessa allegedly got wind of the infidelities through a network of NBA wives who repeated gossip told to them by Kobe's teammates. The specifics are still unclear, but sources claim the five-time NBA champion had numerous mistresses, and that it wasn't until his most recent affair when Vanessa finally decided to end their marriage. The couple never signed a prenuptial agreement, which means Vanessa could seek half of Kobe's estimated $150 million worth. She has already laid claim to their palatial mansion in Newport Coast, another TMZ report alleges. There is also speculation she will get to keep a $4 million ring Kobe gave to her in 2003 while he was being investigated for the rape of a 19-year-old woman in Colorado. The case was later dropped, but a civil suit was settled in 2005. The press has not been all good for Vanessa, however. Her former stepfather has alleged she is a gold digger who had been planning to divorce Kobe after their 10-year anniversary. Divorcing spouses in California may seek enough money to live at the same level they enjoyed while they were married.

Kim Jong-il dead, North Korea's future uncertain


www.nma.tv North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is dead. State media reported the Dear Leader died on Saturday due to "great mental and physical strain" while on a "high-intensity field inspection." News of Kim Jong-il's death prompted a great outpouring of public grief, though North Koreans could hardly be expected to display any other kind of emotion in the tightly managed Stalinist state. Kim's son, the 20-something Kim Jong-un aka the Bright Leader, is the heir apparent. But the younger Kim is not secure in his power and the elder Kim's death could result in a dangerous power vacuum in what is arguably the world's most dangerous flashpoint and potentially embroil China and the US in a military confrontation in the Korean Peninsula.
