WOE! Angry Aliens Productions is calling 30 Second Bunny Theatre quits. No more tiny movie spoofs re-enacted by cartoon rabbits.

Doesn't say why (maybe STARZ canceled them) but here's their final thank you.

Current mood: Flattened

There has been weird crap going on in the world, guys. All of this stuff is, I think, sufficiently fannish to go here...

Harlan Ellison is flouncing off of the Internet. (Currently the second post down; it will probably change, though.)
A judge in Massachusetts slashed a jury verdict of $675,000 for filesharing ($22,500/song), saying it was grossly unconstitutional. He said that the maximum the constitution could support was $2,250/song, representing triple the statutory minimum (triple damages being a common punishment for willful violations).
A woman in Florida protested the availability of the manga Gantz on library shelves. The organization she founded is called "Protect Our Children." Irony, apparently, is lost on her.
The Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest Comic-Con. (Link is to a Scifi Wire piece, not the WBC itself. But I double-checked. It's on their picket schedule.)

Truth be told, the flounce might belong on F_W, but I am not touching that one with a twenty-foot pole.
