Let's Do The News! (June 4, 2012)

Guys! Guess what?

What?

I finally got myself a replacement to my broken iPod Touch. Unfortunately, that cost me over 200 USD to replace my iPod Touch for a new one.

Oh. I see.

Too pricey to replace the one with the broken Home button but doesn't matter. I have a backup and all my files are now in my new iPod Touch.

Ooohh!

Yep! All my apps, pics, and settings are here. No need to worry about it.

Right.

Yeah.

Now anyway, because this is the first day of the SCHOOL YEAR 2012-2013, most kids are now returning to school. On that day, some old friends reunited and some new friends to be introduced. School life is what is all about. From new beginnings to old friends, we, as students, run deep.

Oh really? School time can be a lot boring to me. When there was nothing to do. I tend to do some sleeping.

(laughing)

You do this most of the time?!

Mostly. But when a teacher comes, I woke up. If there is a quiz, I spend most of the free time reading, reading, and reading.

Textbooks and notebooks?

Uh-huh. I kinda got irritated everytime when a teacher issues a quiz. Gets worse because in the mid-month, they often issue a test. If I remember correctly; there were two kinds; a monthly quiz and the quarterly quiz. A monthly quiz takes the whole school schedule while a quarterly quiz takes half the schedule.

Wait. Quarterly exams can be half-day? Wow, no wonder there was a generous schedule...for something else rather than reviewing.

(laughing)

Now anyway, how's the Diamond Jubilee?

Good

Great.

What about you. What can you say about The Queen's Diamond Jubilee?

Even when London is pouring with rain, that doesn't stop Her Majesty The Queen of England celebrating her 6-decade reign.

Six decades? Wow, that's a record straight.

(applause)

Anyway, Your Royal Highness, can I just say congratulations on your 60 year reign as the supreme monarch of the United Kingdom. We hope more power for you, Your Royal Highness.

(applause)

Yeah, for a guy like you who got addicted to Top Gear and Doctor Who, you really are showing respect to Her Majesty The Queen. Pretty soon, we are gaining the By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen logo.

(owws? hindi nga?)

Anyway, enough about that. Speaking of which. I went to the internet and I found this!

(audience laughing)

What is it?

It was a cover of FHM Philippines June 2012 issue featuring Kaye Abad! I also found this! Okay?

(audience laughing)

It was a June 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine featuring Kim Chiu! And I also found this!

Wha....What's that?

It's Karen Gillan. She's commenting about an NBC series, Community, spoofing Doctor Who as Inspector Spacetime.

Wait, NBC's Community TV series had a Doctor Who parody called Inspector Spacetime?

Indeed. Miss Karen was even impressed to see a popular British sci-fi series gagged by the students of Greendale Community College. In fact, she's so impressed, she even wishes to be on that show.

(wow)

You....called her Miss Karen?

Uh-huh....

(laughing)

Anyway, it's just a few days left before Anime Festival Asia Malaysia but some plucky chap from Malaysia snapped a picture of a Perodua Mvyi with some Mirai Suenaga itasha on it while he was at the KL Pavilion. Take a look...

Scoop: http://www.figure.fm/post/en/40004/Mirai+Suenaga+Itasha+at+KL+Pavilion.html

(wow)

This Mirai Myvi's a bit too early for the party but honestly, I think this itasha might have a chance to be exhibited somewhere at the AFA MY this week.

Yeah, but still, it looks nice. This is something I can't lay a finger on.

I know, I know, but for the otakus in Malaysia, AFA MY is coming this weekend, June 9 to 10, at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur. I also heard that there was a Good Smile Company booth out there and they'll showing the live broadcast of 2012 Super GT Round 3 held at Sepang. So if you're a SUPER GT fan but stuck at the Putra World Trade Centre, don't fret because our friends at GSC got you covered for this event.

(wow)

Credit goes to that. Better be thankful for that Super GT Miku Z4 being on the race. He he he...

Anyway, bad news. Yesterday, I got a report that The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Youth Healthy Development Council received a phone complaint from a parent who was cleaning a son's room and discovered a To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness book.

(audience laughing)

Then what?

The mother read the whole To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness manga and she noticed some PARTIAL NUDITY on the manga. That's how she issued a phone call to Tokyo's Youth Healthy Development Council.

(wow)

So, what's the verdict?

Turns out that those didn't violate the do not violate the ordinance's new standards.

Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-06-02/tokyo-youth-healthy-development-council-looks-at-to-love-ru-darkness

(wow)

So, that was close. No signs of violations but what if the mother reacted to the son about the the whole To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness manga?

I'm sure she's angry now. She would rather...um....make sampalan on her son for such "bastos" purposes. To the guy who bought that To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness manga, here's a Top Gear Top Tip; if you have a manga targeted for very mature audiences, please hide it on a very very safe place, so safe that yo momma can't find it and get angry.

(laughinig)

Oh snap!

Anyway, regarding the whole To Love-Ru -Trouble- Darkness manga that turned out that it do not violate new regulations, there was a similar situation with Yosuga no Sora. Turns out that this anime based on some eroge did not violate Tokyo's Youth Healthy Development Council regulations.

Scoop: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-05-30/tokyo-youth-healthy-development-council-looks-at-yosuga-no-sora

You know, just by having the creators being skillful to meet the regulations, some stuff that are RATED SPG have been edited. It's like road-legal versions of a certain racing car.

(audience staring)

What? What did I said? Anyway, violations to the Tokyo's Youth Healthy Development Council regulations may result to serious trouble. Just look what happened to some manga called Aki Sora. Last year, Volume 1 and Volume 3 of the Aki Sora manga were discontinued because of the depictions of incest.

Gosh, I really want to read Volume 1 and 3 of the Aki Sora manga....

I heard that. Stop dreaming. Anyway, I got reports that Infineon Raceway will be temporarily be renamed as Sonoma raceway.

(awww)

Scoop: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/03/infineon-raceway-to-become-sonoma-raceway-temporarily/

But....But....But....

Infineon refused the renewing its sponsorship deal with the California track. This is a bit sad to those who loved this track, even for those who are playing Forza Motorsport 4, because Infineon raceway was on this game.

Aww...

Also, even when the name reverted to Sonoma raceway, sadly the Sonoma name won't likely to last and the man who owned the racetrack will make announcements at the end of this year regarding the new name or something else....

And that's the news!

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 36

To put an end to those cocks who are trying to find out this "mazda cx-5 commercial song", let me just say that what you heard here was actually an original commercial arrange version of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN theme song. There. That's it. Case closed. Happy now?

Now, those cocks are getting cockier as those clattering buttocks attacked my website with the words "peugeot 508 rxh commercial ask me to get higher". Those cocks! They can keep fighting me like game fowls! Well, like a game fowl, I am going to ATTACK those cocks with another set of five DRIVING MUSICS to shut them up and find.

Well, sadly, because the song heard in the commercial, "As We Get Higher", was actually an original commercial arrange version, let's look at some alternatives;

5) 想像を超える明日へ by DREAMS COME TRUE - from the latest 2013MY Toyota Estima Hybrid commercial.

4) PALM BEACH by MICHEL MAGNE - from a 1987 Honda Prelude commercial.

3) I Like To Play by Yuksek - from the latest GM Korea Chevrolet "The Perfect Cruze" TV Commercial.

2) Fascination Waltz by Hibari Misora - from the latest Honda Fit Japanese commercial.

1) We are the Champions by Queen - from a Suzuki Swift commercial.

...and there we are. Another set of five driving musics. There's more than those came from!

BMW 6er Gran Coupe (F06)

Last year, the F12/F13 BMW 6-Series Coupe and Cabriolet are becoming one of my favorite long distance cruisers of all time not only because of their style but also of their performance figures thanks to their turbocharged engines. Now, this year, they've added an addition that is surely not a fitting addition to the 6-Series range.

2013 BMW 6er Gran Coupe

2013 BMW 6er Gran Coupe

This is the new BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe (codename F06), the Bavarian competitor against the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class and the Audi A7. Sadly then, this new Gran Coupe is a bit too misleading because to me, coupes have two doors but this one has four doors. There is no such thing as a four-door coupe but who cares? This car was heavily influenced from the 2010 BMW Gran Coupe Concept car as seen on the 2010 Paris Motor Show. This car shows the classic features of all BMW coupes: the long wheelbase, the vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, the set-back greenhouse, the flat silhouette, the coupe-style roof line and the short front overhang reflect the dynamic potential of the vehicle. I don't care what BMW said about this car but to me, this is a bit too confusing because what you're looking here is a F12/F13 6-Series with extra doors on it.

2013 BMW 6er Gran Coupe interior

A typical BMW trademark interior though but the 6-Series Gran Coupe has a distinctive driver orientation typical of all BMW vehicles and the interior features create a luxurious ambience for all passengers. The standard iDrive feature comes with a 10.2-inch on-board monitor with an exclusive flat-screen design, surrounded by a chrome frame that highlights the monitor.

Obviously, because this is a 4-door 6-Series, the rear legroom has been enhanced but I'm afraid that this car can fit only four despite the fact that BMW said that this car can fit three at the back without the armrest. Just look at the middle part of the rear. It was somewhat occupied by the rear air conditioning so it's best to lay down the armrest to rest your wearing arms.

Let me put it this way. If you have a 6-Series Coupe, accessing to the rear seats is a bit too stressful. If you have a 6-Series Cabriolet with the roof off, you can jump through the seats but that wouldn't work because of the rear legroom. With the Gran Coupe, those two idiots in business suits now have access at the back.

Oh, and I'll give you a little tip. If you have an IQ of Jeremy Clarkson's, you might even do the Back Seat Driver trick but that won't work because you could lead to serious trouble.

2013 BMW 6er Gran Coupe

At first glance, then, the BMW Gran Coupe is available in three different flavors;

BMW 640d Gran Coupe
Engine: N57D30
Power: 313 PS
Torque: 630 Nm
0-100kph time: 5.5 seconds
Combined Fuel Economy: 5,7-5,6 l/100 km
CO2-Emission kombiniert: 149-148 g/km

BMW 640i Gran Coupe
Engine: N55B30
Power: 320 PS
Torque: 450 Nm
0-100kph time: 5.4
Combined Fuel Economy: 7,9-7,8 l/100 km
CO2-Emissions: 183-181 g/km

BMW 650i Gran Coupe
Engine: N63B44
Power: 408 PS
Torque: 600 Nm
0-100kph time: 4.9 seconds
Combined Fuel Economy: 8,8-8,6 l/100 km
CO2-Emissions: 206-199 g/km

All of these models have an eight-speed Sport automatic transmission and proven BMW EfficientDynamics technology. They even come with a Driving Experience button with ECO PRO Mode and the Auto Start Stop function. Petrol variants of the Gran Coupe do come with the available XDrive all-wheel drive technology for better traction and all-round travelling even in the rain. It's quite perfect if you've encounter a road covered with pee. Without it, you could be in big trouble.

For personalization, you might have a choice of either a BMW Individual for added exclusivity upon your request or the M Sportpaket for added sportiness. Anyway, the available colors are Titansilber metallic, Saphirschwarz metallic, Havanna metallic, Spacegrau metallic, Tiefseeblau metallic, Vermilionrot metallic, Orionsilber metallic, Mineralweiß metallic, Carbonschwarz metallic*, Citrinschwarz metallic**, Rubischwarz metallic**, Tansanitblau metallic**, Mondstein metallic**, Fronze Bronze metallic**, Brilliantweiß metallic**, Frozen Gray metallic**, Frozen Silver metallic**, Schwarz uni, Alpinweiß uni, and Imola Rot uni*

*M Sportpaket-only color
**Individual-only color

My comment:
This BMW Gran Coupe is too misleading and it feels like it was made by people for the people who don't exist, like the skyscraper from Hong Kong that was made by people for the people who don't exist. Remind you of any? So I ask again, who would made a 4-door coupe anyway? Is it because they waste too much money for some research and development? Is it because they answer responses from many men? I don't really know why but anyway, the Gran Coupe costs 79,500 Euros, making it more expensive than the Mercedes CLS-Class. So, I would rather buy it instead of the Gran Coupe and use the extras for something else, like um...Facebook credits.

Consider this one DELETE or EXTERMINATE.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG golf trick

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG golf trick

Former Formula One driver, Mercedes-Benz brand ambassador, and the Scotsman who shot Jeremy Clarkson's popsicle with paintball on the Top Gear car art episode, David Coulthard, is now a Guinness record holder! How? He drove the SLS AMG Roadster to catch a golf ball driven 275m from the tee with the car's cabin as he was driving it.

Pro golfer Jake Shepherd hit the ball with the speed of 285kph (177mph) while Coulthard piloting the SLS Roadster up to 190kph (118mph) to catch the ball as it fell in the car's interior. With just two tries, they succeeded to snag the record holder of THE FURTHEST GOLF SHOT CAUGHT IN THE MOVING CAR. Beat that!

5) 1980's BMW Convertibles - the boys buy used four-seater convertibles, which ended up being 1980's BMW convertibles, for a series of challenges. Even they look the same, they have different attitude, even how much germs and bacteria left on their interiors. 

6) Demolition Men - the boys rely on military vehicles to demolish numerous old houses in Gravesend's Christian Field's estate. Are they better than normal demolition equipment used by the professionals?
