Welcome new players to the brand new, leveled up season 4 of the Fair Use Law podcast. To start things off right this week, the torosaurus tribunal discusses horrible band names that compare your band’s music to mental and physical experiments, the downside to up syndrome, the shocking revelation of a Japanese female video game presenter, hilariously named asthma camps, group showers, the 2010 VMAs, and the latest in sexist video games.
The 2010 VMAs take place this weekend, and Fair Use Law will be on the case with a live twittercast and review/recap over at Iceanvil.com. In the meantime, please to enjoy this horribly confusing promo for the event featuring at least 8 different time periods and Nicky Minaj:

In other geekery news, the recently revamped X-Force, featuring a Wolverine-led team of coldblooded killers in what can best be described as the X-Men version of Tokyo Gore Police has come to the end of its first volume. So much like Fair Use Law, it's leveling up for a whole new season... this time including hookers, and blackjack, and Deadpool!
And finally, coming to a theater near you this fall, "From the Mind Of M Night Shyamalan:"
