<a href="http://www.youvebeenowned.org/images/ybowned-left.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.youvebeenowned.org/images/ybowned-left.png" /></a></div>

<br />
October 29th, the Supreme Court is scheduled to determine if you have the right to resell your own property. Depending on how they rule it may become illegal to resell your iPhone, PC, Car or Truck, clothes, or even your home without first asking the manufacture of that product permission to do so, which they may decline to give.<br />
<br />
Earlier this year a lower court determined that products made in other countries do not fall under the "right of first sale". The "right of first sale" is what gives you the right to resell your own property. If the Supreme Court upholds this ruling, which Obama and the Entertainment Industry is pushing them to do, then it would become illegal for consumers to do that if any part of that product was manufactured in other countries.<br />
<br />
With pretty much every piece of electronics from TVs to iPhones being made overseas you would lose your right to resell them. A large number of cars and trucks are made overseas. Your old clothing could of been made in another countries. Your furniture. Your books.
If this is upheld it would put an end to Ebay, Craiglists, even the local yard sell. It would also make it beneficial to manufactures to move all productions outside of the US, and damage our economy.<br />
<br />
Help convince the White House and Congress to support our right to resell the things we own. Visit <a href="http://www.youvebeenowned.org/?_r=1">http://www.youvebeenowned.org</a> to send a letter letting them know how you feel about this situation.<span class="fullpost"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Picked up the Harry Potter Wizard's Collection last week. Back when the first few movies came out on DVD I purchased them, but realized that after the final film came out they were bound to release some complete collection with a bunch of extras. At the time I was thinking behind the scenes documentaries, outtakes, deleted scenes, and probably some kind of collector's packaging. I didn't expect the massive set of collectibles that this comes with.</div>

More after the jump...

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After a year long hiatus Pop Travel Japan is once again offering Japan Tours. To kick things off they've planned their biggest tour ever, <a href="http://www.popjapantravel.com/tours/group-tours/alpha-omega" target="_blank">The All Japan Alpha+Omega Tour</a>. The tour runs from 8/29/12 to 9/7/12 and covers nearly everything you'd want to do while in Japan, anime, fashion, manga, cuisine, music, TV, history, theater, and tradition<span style="font-size: 14px;">. </span>The tour starts at $2490.00, but could run higher depending on any options you want to add.

Warner Bro's Japan has released an english subtitled trailer for their Live Action Ruruoni Kenshin movie. I have to say I like the trailer, and am looking forward to seeing this. The movie releases August 25th in Japan. It stars Takeru Sato as Kenshin Himura, Emi Takei as Kaoru Kamiya, and Munetaka Aoki as Sanosuke Sagara.<br />

Taco Bell is currently running a promotion entitled "Unlock the Box". They are instantly giving away 5000 Playstation Vita's. All you have to do purchase one of there $5.00 meal boxes, and then enter the code on the box at either <a href="http://unlock.tacobell.com/">http://unlock.tacobell.com</a> or via text message. You are then informed if you won or not. This is not the case for several winners on January 30th, 2012, including myself.<br />
<br />
I purchased one of there meal boxes Jan 30th on the way home from work. Later that evening I entered my code and was presented with a page stating "Congratulations! You WON! (pending verification) No really, we're not kidding." Winners were supposed to receive an email within 3 days verifying their win and asking which of 3 game choices they wanted shipped with their prize. Three days came and went with no email. Upon searching I found I was not the only one in this situation and found this group, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/299009933482352/" target="_blank">Taco Bell (No Email) Winner Group</a>. Several events happened over the coarse of the past 3 weeks. Calls were made and emails were sent with little to no reply other than "We'll get back to you in 2-3 days". They never did. Then on Feb 13th, some people finally received an answer.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We have received your inquiry and determined that you are not a valid winner. This was determined by checking the information (i.e. code, email address, cell phone, name, etc.) you gave us with your inquiry to the data in our system's records.<br />
Please note that ANY ATTEMPT TO UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS PROMOTION AND SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FOR SUCH ACTIONS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.<br />
The decisions of the judges are final.</blockquote>

The above segment aired on Feb 21, 2012. The following day a mass email was sent out to everyone who had given their information as Jan 30th winners to Taco Bell. The email stated,<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Thank you again for
contacting Taco Bell regarding your entry in the Unlock the Box
Promotion and voicing your concern. A thorough investigation was
initiated since our last contact with you.<br />
<br />
We
learned that during a period of time on January 30, 2012 some people
entering the promotion erroneously viewed a message suggesting they had
won a PlayStation Vita, pending verification.<br />
<br />
After
a thorough investigation, and an additional review by the independent
company administering the promotion, it was confirmed that these
entrants viewed these messages or accessed them directly as a result of
technical issues created by outside attempts by others <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=19573110" name="_GoBack"></a>to gain illegal entry and defraud the system. Unfortunately, these entrants were not valid winners. <br />
<br />
Taco
Bell designed this sweepstakes to be fun for consumers and knows you
are a disappointed fan. We are therefore giving you and other consumers
who may have viewed these erroneous messages on January 30 an
additional chance to win. You will be automatically entered into a
separate drawing to win a PlayStation Vita. The drawing will take place
on March 21, 2012. All winners will be notified directly by the week
of March 27, 2012<br />
<br />
Thank
you for your understanding and participation. The issue that occurred
on January 30 has been resolved and the Unlock the Box promotion will
continue to run through March 11, 2012.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
Ventura Associates</blockquote>

They say some how people using bot programs to enter random codes to try and win a Vita for the user of the bot, somehow caused random people to get winning screens when they really didn't win. I don't see the logic in that. The only way I can figure someone could cause tons of random people to get these screens is if someone hacked their system. But their own <a href="http://www.thinkoutsidethebun.com/company/newsreleases/Unlock_the_Box_FAQs" target="_blank">F.A.Q.s</a> says they were not hacked. If someone knows how this could happen besides hacking, please elaborate.<br /><br />So from beginning to end, Taco Bell told us we were winners. Then accidentally told some us we were not winners. Then back to we are winners, and now telling us all we are really not winners. Oh, but to make it up they are going to have a random drawing for a couple of Vita's.<br /><br />Of coarse this is just one of the problems they have had with this promotion. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tacobell?sk=wall#" target="_blank">Taco Bell's own Facebook page</a> there is daily mention of people buying the box and then being told their code has already been used. There is iPhone/Android game you can play and win a Vita as well. Some people have received winning messages only to get the message that they must be connected to the internet to submit the form despite being connected via 3G or WiFi. The promotion agency in charge of this sweepstakes, <a href="http://www.sweepspros.com/" target="_blank">Ventura Associates</a>, has done a poor job of handling this from the start.<br /><br />So that's whats happened up until now. Whats your take on the situation. Is Taco Bell in the right? Or should people who entered a legitimate code, and even have proof (I kept my box), that got a winning screen be awarded the prize they thought they won?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cinemark.com/home.aspx" target="_blank">Cinemark Theaters</a> advertised limited edition Darth Maul 3D glasses to the "<b><u>first Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace RealD 3D ticketholders, in line, at the theatre</u></b>." I attended the midnight showing at my local Cinemark which cost 11.75 and was told they were not giving out the Darth Maul glasses to the midnight showing. They would be giving them out during the second screening when they opened back up later today. That showings ticket cost was only 8.50. So they advertise collectible glasses to the first in line tricking you into purchasing the more expensive ticket, and then give them out to the second group of people to watch the movie who paid less. The guy who took my ticket stub even suggested I come back and watch it again tomorrow to get the glasses if I really wanted them. This is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_advertising" target="_blank">false advertising</a> and borderline fraud, since it was suggested I watch the movie a second time later today to get the glasses.<br />
<br />
To anyone who attended a midnight showing and did not receive their Darth Maul glasses. I suggest taking your ticket stub back prior to the next screening today, and demand your glasses. The above advertisement from the <a href="http://cinemark.com/home.aspx" target="_blank">Cinemark</a> website says first ticketholders in line. It doesn't mention first ticketholders for X:XX showtime. So just be there first holding your ticket when they open back up. Demand to see the manager if you have to. If you can't make it back up to your theater, then write letters of complaint to <a href="https://cinemark.com/contact-us.aspx" target="_blank">Cinemark</a>, and the <a href="http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2012/01/30/exclusive-darth-maul-3d-glasses-at-reald-theaters/" target="_blank">Offical Star Wars Blog</a>. I couldn't find anything but a mailing address for <a href="http://www.lucasfilm.com/inside/faq/" target="_blank">Lucasfilms</a>.<br />
<br /><b>[UPDATE] </b>I was asked for the name and location of the theater I attended the screening at. The manager of that theater then emailed me and said he will hold a pair of glasses for me at the theater along with 2 free admission tickets.<br />

This years Super Bowl ad from Honda features Matthew Broderick recreating several scenes from his 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The ad successfully recreates the fell of the movie, and actually had me wanting to re-watch the film.<br />

<br />
It's been awhile since I've done a blog post, but I had to post about this. Went to Books-a-Million today and picked up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193639300X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=zirocsblog-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=193639300X">The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553386794/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=zirocsblog-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0553386794">A Game of Thrones</a>. This is the second time a prequel comic has been made for the Dark Crystal in the last few years. The first, Legends of the Dark Crystal, was published by Tokyopop and only ran for 2 volumes. Unfortunately it was never finished due to Tokyopop shutting down their manga publication business in the US.<br />
<br />
The story in Legend of the Dark Crystal took place shortly after the Crystal was broken and corrupted. This new comic from Archaia takes place prior to the Crystal becoming corrupted. Archaia also has a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936393247/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=zirocsblog-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1936393247">Jim Henson's The Storyteller</a> comic. It seemed to be a collection of stories by different artists. I'll probably pick it up next paycheck.<br />
<br />
I've been hearing a lot about A Game of Thrones, so decided to pick it up. Any book that can spawn a TV show, two video games, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1589947207/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=zirocsblog-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1589947207">a board game</a> must be good right? Plus I have a friend who's read it and said it was a good read.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Conlan Press has announced beginning next year and running through 2013 that there will be more than 80 special digital screenings of The Last Unicorn through out America, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany. The book's author, Peter S. Beagle, will be attending each of these screenings to do Q&A sessions with the audience and sign autographs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In addition to those screenings five million dollars has been set aside to digitally overhaul the film. The money will be used to go back and smooth out animation, upgrade special effects and sound, and finish background art that was never completed. Also 5 to 8 minutes of additional footage will be added. Once finished this updated version of the film will see a worldwide theatrical release in both 2D and 3D for it's 30th anniversary.<br /><br />I'm personally looking forward to the theatrical re-release, and wish more classic films would be shown in theaters. Hopefully, one of 80 special screenings will be shown near where I live, but I doubt it. Anyone else looking forward to this?</div>

I got my preorder of <a href="http://www.rightstuf.com/catalog/browse/link/t=item,c=right-stuf,v=right-stuf,i=aoa1001,a=zirocs-blog">ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai</a> (My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute), or Oreimo for short in from Right Stuf this weekend. Oreimo is a fun series about a brother (Kyousuke) and sister (Kirino) that don't get along to well. Kirino is a straight A student, the popular girl at school, and also works part time as a model. But she secretly hides the fact that she's actually an otaku who likes anime, collecting figures, and playing eroge (erotic video games). When Kyousuke accidentally finds out about her hobby and becomes the only person she can talk to about it. Over the coarse of the series he helps her find friends who share her interests as well as coping with her parents and best friend finding out. The episodes are English subtitled, but I highly recommend this series if you haven't seen it yet.<br /><br />

Hulu is streaming <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/286883/persona-4-youre-myself-im-yourself">Persona 4: The Animation</a> with English subtitles. Episode one is already up. I loved the Persona 4 PS2 game, and the first episode of the anime adaptation was pretty good. Can't wait to see the rest of it. Hopefully they kept a lot of the humor from the game like the camping trip and beauty pageant. What do you think of the show so far?<br /><br />
