Is apparently sick -- kidney troubles. What a shame. I interviewed him a while back, and he was such a gentleman. His was one of the most enjoyable interviews I've done yet.

Hey -- Shocker Toys recently sent us these new pics of their Scud, the Disposable Assassin, and we couldn't resist sharing! (Here's the full story, as well as an older pic).

I'm going to assume you know about the upcoming Batman Begins sequel, the Dark Knight (if not, click here to view the trailer). They've had a really cool viral marketing campaign, with them giving away all kinds of stuff that ties into the movies.
It's been covered pretty extensively before, so I won't list everything they've done so far. However, I will say that most of the marketing had been focusing on the Joker, portrayed by Heath Ledger, and now it's mostly shifted over to Harvey Dent (who becomes Two-Face) and his bid for District Attorney.
Here's a link to IBelieveInHarveyDent.com. Mention is made of a smear campaign against Dent on the site, and sure enough, just a few minutes ago, I received a call from the "Gotham City Voter Survey," and it's decidedly anti-Dent. It's a quick survey -- it took me under three minutes -- and it's pretty interesting.
You can call 877-777-6197 (toll-free) to listen to the message and take the survey -- you answer the questions by dialing numbers on your phone.
