Oh Hai New TV Green Arrow
 |
?The CW just released the first look at the Green Arrow of Arrow, the TV show about Green Arrow which is called Arrow because a focus group told them green reminded people of vegetables, and they don’t like eating vegetables, so they don’t like the word “green.” Frankly, I find the name change far less confusing than why they gave Ollie here a bow meant for a 4-year-old. Thanks to Steven D. for the tip. (Via Deadline)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
