Yogi Bear Arrested in Utah: Smarter Than the Average Perp
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsAfter years of snatching picnic baskets and duping park rangers without consequence, Yogi Bear appears to have finally been trapped by police in Utah. Officers from the Utah County Sheriff's Office apparently captured the famed Hanna-Barbera character on fishing without a license, immigration charges and other offenses. Yogi's cartoonish mug shot appeared on the Sheriff's Office website earlier this week, listing the suspect as a 60-year-old who stands 5 foot 8, weighs 490 pounds and has already been released on bond. ...
Mom: My Kids Found Porn on 'Dora the Explorer' DVD
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsApparently, you can't judge a DVD by its cover. A New York City mother says she was shocked when her kids tried to put on a new Nickelodeon cartoon DVD but instead found themselves watching an explicit pornographic video. Candice Connor told the New York Daily News that her boys -- ages 11 and 3 -- thought they would see characters from "Dora the Explorer" and "Go, Diego, Go" when she bought them a DVD titled "Nickelodeon All-Star Sports Day." NY Daily News / Getty Images Candice Connor says a Long Island Toys R Us store sold her a kid-friendly DVD that turned out to be an ...
Celebrating Anime Master Hayao Miyazaki's Birthday With a Video Tribute
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsJapanese anime filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki -- known as the "Walt Disney of Japan" -- is celebrating his 70th birthday today. During the 1980s and 1990s, Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli gave a shot in the arm to the Japanese animation industry. The artist eventually broke through to a wider American audience with 2001's "Spirited Away," which won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. In 2005, Time Magazine named Miyazaki to its list of most influential people, with a piece written by none other than Spider-Man creator Stan Lee. Here are a few trailers from Miyazaki's films: "Ponyo" ...
Facebook Profile Picture Meme: From Cartoons to Pedophiles [TIMELINE]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Dec. 6) -- The Facebook profile cartoon meme is on a viral tear. The campaign encourages users to update their Facebook profile pictures to classic cartoon characters and has evolved from a harmless attempt at creating a nostalgic meme into, according to unconfirmed reports that don't make a lot of sense, an organized effort by pedophiles across the Internet seeking to connect with children on Facebook. Sound confusing? The meme has left many Facebook users scratching their heads. So Surge Desk sifted through the reports and offers some insight with this timeline documenting the cartoon ...
Cartoon Character Facebook Meme: I'm Bambi. Or Not.
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyI'm Bambi. I'd like to be, anyway. But it doesn't take much to bring out the Tasmanian Devil in me. Yesterday ABC News reported on the new meme sweeping Facebook. People are replacing their profile pictures with a childhood favorite cartoon character. According to knowyourmeme.com, the cartoon character game started three weeks ago in Greece and Cyprus. The original plan was to remove all pictures of humans from Facebook, but that meme morphed into yet another "awareness" game, similar to the bra color (breast cancer) and purse (female empowerment) games months ago. This time the good cause ...
Google Trends Bombarded With Nickelodeon Cartoon Search Terms
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsUPDATE: It looks like the spike in cartoon-related searches on Google Trends this morning was due to a Facebook profile trend, and not the result of a hack, like we suggested in our story. We apologize for the error. (Dec. 3) -- Google is looking a bit cartoonish. The search engine's trending topics application was flooded this morning with references to classic Nickelodeon cartoons ranging from "Hey Arnold!" and "Angry Beavers" to the likes of "Doug" and "The Muppet Babies." Google may command overwhelming power on the Web, but it apparently can't escape getting punked. On June 17, ...
The Art of Big Bird: A Puppeteer's Alternative Career Path
By Joe Peacock - AOL News
(Nov. 5) -- They're two of the most recognized and beloved characters in American culture -- Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. But did you know that before they made Sesame Street the most well-known neighborhood in the land, they served in the military? In fact, after the two felt superstars were discharged, they almost worked for Walt Disney as animators and illustrators. Of course, Jim Henson would have had a major problem with this -- so he hired them first. The rest is history. Well, in a manner of speaking anyway. It wasn't the puppets that served our country and almost worked for ...
