A group or racists that call themselves the Council of Conservative Citizens are planning a boycott of the upcoming Thor movie over its use of a black actor portraying the Norse god Heimdall. These idiots believe that Marvel Comics has a left-wing agenda and is furthering its goals by using Idris Elba, a British actor of African descent, to play a mythical god. Uh…okay. The best part is that the group can’t take criticism for its moronic crusade and responds to attacks with lines like:
The left-wing knows that there is no reasonable way to defend re-writing black people into Norse mythology. So they just viciously hurl insults.
Do these people know what fiction is? I’m guessing that these people have a reasonable way to defend rewriting Jesus Christ into a deity with dazzling white skin and sparkling blue eyes.
For the record, I’m happy to viciously hurl insults at stupid people that are receiving PayPal donations to generate hate.
Thanks to my friend Paul for notifying me about these people. Please be careful. You’re Jewish and the Council of Conservative Citizens might lynch you.

Sony Computer Entertainment America has produced a nifty list of current PlayStation 3 games that take advantage of stereoscopic 3D televisions and future titles that will use the tech. It’s an impressive group of titles, but are any of these games enough to make you pull the trigger on a 3D TV? Give the list a peek and let me know (please)!

For the last month I’ve been using Coava Coffee Roasters’ Kone filter with my trusty Chemex coffee pot. Coffee lovers rave about the bright and clean taste produced by Chemex paper filters, so I was curious to see what the Kone would bring to the table. To my surprise, I now prefer Kone coffee over paper-filtered coffee. The Kone produces a cup that’s richer than coffee produced by paper filters and brighter than coffee brewed from a French press or Sowden Softbrew. Your taste may vary, but for me the Kone hit a brilliant sweet spot.
Although $50 seems like a lot for a stainless steel filter, daily drinkers will save money in the long run over buying paper filters. Furthermore, the Kone was engineered in Oregon and is manufactured in Connecticut from Ohio steel. Most of the stuff in my kitchen (sadly) has a “Made in China” stamp on it, so I feel proud and patriotic when brewing coffee with the Kone. (Perhaps I should play John Williams’ Superman theme when I use the Kone.)
The Kone also sports some very cool tech. It has been meticulously engineered to provide superior extraction over paper filters and has thousands of photochemically etched holes. It makes me feel proud as a geek and an American.
Check out the video above for more details on the Kone and to see it in action. If you have any questions about my experience with this fine product, please ask away in the comments section. Congrats to Coava for making an environmentally friendly coffee filter that boosts the American economy!

I finally got around to seeing Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I loved the comics and really liked the movie. Obviously loads of details were cut and left out in the transition to film, but I was surprised by how I reacted to Scott’s love interests in the different mediums. In the comics, Ramona Flowers is way more likable and her relationship with Scott is more developed. In the movie, I was completely charmed by Ellen Wong’s portrayal of Knives Chau. In fact, I preferred the alternate ending (posted above) where Scott ends up with Knives.
Anyway, if you’ve seen the movie and/or read the books, please let me know who you think is best for Scott.
