What Cartoon Characters Am I Hating Lately?

2 Comments

Dora

Oh, this goody-goody who repeats things over and over and over again. I hate her!

Boots

If I hate Dora, there’s a pretty good chance I’m going to hate her annoying monkey sidekick as well.

Swiper

You’d think I would like Swiper, seeing as his main purpose is stealing things from Dora, Boots and the assorted other characters on the show. Well, you’d be wrong. Wrong, as in it’s wrong to steal.

Swiper, no swiping!
Swiper, no swiping!
Swiper, no swiping!

Who’s In Charge Here? – A Day Away

16 Comments

Purpose: Determine a band’s leader by analyzing a publicity photo.

Disclaimer: A band’s inclusion on this blog reflects neither an endorsement nor a criticism of its music. This post is merely intended as a spotlight on the inner political workings of a collection of individuals who are in the midst of a cooperative, creative endeavor.

A change in the process:
We’re going to try a new wrinkle on this feature. Before today, I have made pronouncements on high as to the leader of the respective bands I have posted. I now open the floor for comments, and attempt to engage you, dear reader, to answer the question, “Who’s in charge here?”

After sufficient discussion has taken place, a verdict can then be passed.

Band: A Day Away
Genre: Pop Punk
Website:http://www.myspace.com/adayawayband

The Verdict (UPDATED!)

Well, apparently I inferred the wrong guy from J.D.’s comment, then justacoolcat came along and also submitted “hat guy”, so, I am going to have to adjust the verdict accordingly.

Please bear with us. We are apparently having some technical difficulties.

If you’re still seeing black shirt dude as the leader, just refresh the page. After the refresh, hat guy should be marked as the driving force behind A Day Away.
