Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
So it’s for real. It’s a cover image, the article is pretty short, and I think there’s a couple of quotes in there. That’s a huge image and big text. The article doesn’t talk much about the mag, but it’s our second cover there. Thanks AsianWeek. The one below is the LA Times.

This is a sad ad. I'd never think that Charmin would do an advertisement like this, much less advertise much at all in a newspaper. But it's an ad for Dick Wilson, Mr. Whipple, the face of Charmin toilet paper. He made over 500 Charmin commercials and I guess an ad like this is his send off. Maybe they'll do some retro commercials. I'm not sure what a company can do to honor a guy who's been their...
This is a sad ad. I’d never think that Charmin would do an advertisement like this, much less advertise much at all in a newspaper. But it’s an ad for Dick Wilson, Mr. Whipple, the face of Charmin toilet paper. He made over 500 Charmin commercials and I guess an ad like this is his send off. Maybe they’ll do some retro commercials. I’m not sure what a company can do to honor a guy who’s been their main man for so long, but I hope it’s more than this. This is the inside of a switchblade.

As he walked to the border patrol, they were checking everyone. He was sure he was going to get pinched, but right when he got there, the border guard all of a sudden was busy doing something, so he waved him through. Rambo, for Oscar consideration in 2008. The 2007 pictures are breathing a sigh of relief. Check out the spray paint graphics. You can have street cred with the aerosol and stencil look, the “crate” font makes it look military, and Stallone’s age is hidden!

Turkey ala King is one of those things Asians do with leftovers. Basically, it's pieces of turkey, vegetables like peas, corn, and mushrooms, leftover gravy, and if you need, add some water to thin it out. It ends up being thick, and tasty. Let's say you don't want to use gravy, you can always use mushroom soup as well. Serve it over rice. It's a great treat. If you added curry, this easily...
Turkey ala King is one of those things Asians do with leftovers.

Let’s say you don’t want to use gravy, you can always use mushroom soup as well. Serve it over rice. It’s a great treat. If you added curry, this easily becomes a curry dish. Turkey curry? Sure, why not?
