“Scholars at elite institute Waseda University posted images from an Edo-era proto-manga scroll “War of the Farts”. Manga’s nascent beginnings are grounded in picture scrolls. Many of them depicted animals. This one depicted fart battles. Note that the scroll does feature butts, boob, pubic hair, hairy testicles, people farting in bags, people farting through screens, people fanning farts, and dual fart attacks.” What, so we can have movie adaptations of board games and crap, but not this? Bogus. I want to see Dual Fart Attack in 3D.|via Kotaku|

Hot off the release of their “Being Green” teaser (a sort of fictional faux rom-com), the marketing team for The Muppets has just released a new teaser, focusing more on the actual muppets.  This one’s called “The Fuzzy Pack,” presumably a play on The Hangover‘s “Wolf Pack” campaign.  Once again, the producers have done a brilliant job combining things that I love, in this case, namely, muppets and Danny Trejo. Chingón, guey, it must be my lucky day. Although this role might be a stretch for Trejo.  He’s a solid actor, I’m just not sure he has the versatility to pull off “convict.”

“Mira, Frog, ju theenk you’re the only one who’s had a feest up hees culo? Welcome to prison ése.”

I know, I know, “prison MMA” sounds like as good a euphemism for anal rape as “submission wrestling” is for sex.  But today we’re talking about the un-euphemistic kind, a venture Danny Trejo is helping to sponsor, a promotion which will pit ex-cons against “hard-hitting police officers, prison guards, firefighters, teachers, Marines and other members of the military and law enforcement.” So, basically The Longest Yard, but with MMA. Ooh, “yard” is also a prison term!

The first event is scheduled to go down May 21st at the LA Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena, co-hosted by Trejo and, ahem, Tommy “Tiny” Lister, best known for playing Deebo in Friday.  Is it legit?  Let’s just say I wouldn’t buy your tickets until the day of.  And trust me, you’ll want to read these block quotes:

On May 21, 2011, Cage vs. Cons 1 will take place at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The event will feature one of the world’s largest hip-hop festivals, a tattoo expo, and 10 savage Pro. MMA matches pitting ex-cons against all-comers, including a police officer, a firefighter, a teacher and three military veterans who fought in the Iraq War.

What, no porn shoot?  Come on, we’re combining fan bases here.  Also, how do you capitalize “Pro MMA” but not “savage”?  That just seems like a typo.

[from Deebo's bio section]  Lister has had numerous guest appearances in TV series, including playing Klaang (the first Klingon ever to make contact with humans) in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Enterprise [the one where Scott Bakula played Captain Jonathan Archer -Ed.]. He also co-starred in an episode of the courtroom series “Matlock” as Mr. Matlock’s in-prison bodyguard.

Aw, don’t stop there, what about when he played “alligator wrangler 4″ in Baywatch: Everglades?  This is the man’s legacy.  Oh, but we still haven’t even gotten to my absolute favorite quote of the entire website:

We’ve got the scoop on Danny Trejo’s next project, before it even has an IMDB page.  It’s called Babysitters Beware, co-starring the kid from Modern Family.  Needless to say, it looks pretty legit.

“Mira, these keeds are dribeen me loco.”

“I tole you, pendejo, ees not a tumor.”

“Oye, wheech one of ju putos called for the babyseeter?”  (*racks shotgun*)

“That’s right, ése, eet’s nap time.” (*racks shotgun*)
