Introducing The Mantis-Eye Facebook
I guess this Facebook thing is what all the cool kids are using these days. I was once content to stick with just Twitter and Tumblr but I see now that we need at least three social media networks to be truly awesome. So what does this mean for ... Read More »

Venture Bros. Year In Review: 2011
It's the end of 2011 and what better way to end it than with a Year In Review article? I can't think of any. Of course this was an off-year for the show, though we did get one new (short) episode and lots of merchandising news. We also got to see ... Read More »

Gillian Jacobs of Community 'Did A Voice' For Venture Bros.
Since we're in the off-season any news is good news (for the most part), so you Community fans may be pleased to know that Gillian Jacobs, who plays Britta Perry on the show announced via her IAMA on Reddit that she recently recorded a voice for Venture Bros. Of course we don't know anything else really, but there will be a new female character on the show for at least one episode, probably.

Introducing The Mantis-Eye Facebook Experiment
I guess this Facebook thing is what all the cool kids are using these days. I was once content to stick with just Twitter and Tumblr but I see now that we need at least three social media networks to be truly awesome. So what does this mean for you, the loyal reader? Well, mostly nothing aside from that you can get Venture Bros. news on your Facebook thingy. All the cool stuff will still be happening here at the main website of course. Anyway you should head on over there and 'like' the site or something like that. I need at least 100 likes so I don't feel inadequate! That's how you truly measure success, you know.

The SOPA Blackout Is Over
We're back! 8pm on the dot, look at that. Anyway, thanks for sticking with the site through that. The blackout site is forever preserved here if you ever want to check it out (it contains many helpful links). Thankfully a lot of sites did this today and there seemed to be a pretty significant impact seen throughout the day (largely thanks to Wikipedia, which will be blacked out until midnight). That includes normally Hollywood-friendly Republican Senator Orrin Hatch promising to vote against the bill as well as a variety of one-time supporters of PIPA and SOPA dropping support. Perhaps most importantly President Obama has said he will veto either bill if one comes across his desk, effectively killing both pieces of legislation without serious alterations to either.
Of course, as you probably know, it's not over, and it may never be. Please take the time to email or fax (you don't need a fax machine!) your state representative and let them know how unhappy you are with this legislation. Sign Google's petition and learn more about what you can do. Piracy and copyright infringement are very real problems, but bills like SOPA and PIPA are not the right way to combat those issues. Mostly just remember that you can make a difference and what you think does matter. The next time someone tells you that protests don't work, just remember today.
Thanks for reading! Now we'll get back to some Venture Bros. stuff, promise.

They are Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). For US citizens passage of these bills would be a major ... Read More »
