Err!

Unfortunately, I don't have the requisite magnifying glass. [adult swim] is yet another practioner of the 'April Fools Day' that the Interwebs love so much. Unlike the other pranks, this one is pretty damn funny. The ATHF movie is actually being shown on TV 2 weeks before the theatrical release, but only as a hella-tiny rectangular frame in the lower left corner. Hella-tiny: like 1 inch in width on my 27" CRT TV. You can kinda see what's going on, although only every few seconds when Meatwad takes up the whole frame - otherwise it's a mess of green, brown, and a whole lotta red.

Oh, and they keep putting those huge ad-things that F/X is in love with, with sound and flame and dancing Meatwads.

Last year I was a wuss and fell asleep before the April 1st adult swim broadcast, but my GF watched it. Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig with bonus fart noises. See, adult swim, you're actually funny sometimes. Fart jokes and fake premieres and bomb scares (well, you can thank Boston for that one) are funny. Saved by the Bell is not.
