A Static Shock to the System
I’m feeling unwell (seriously, this inevitably happens to me whenever I visit a doctor — I get sick after my appointment, because I am a mutant) so instead of leaving you with some goofy-ass video or terrifying footage of people in busty furry animal costumes, I present a legitimately excellent fan-made Static Shock short movie. Seriously, for being student-made, it’s just outstanding. Enjoy, and I’ll try and find something to hurt you with tomorrow (besides FFF, of course). (Via The Mary Sue)
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.
