Kentucky Flied Chicken - Starting December 1st, select Japan Airlines flights are going to get significantly tastier and help you really make sure you pack on that holiday heft thanks to KFC. Passengers on flights from New York, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, London, Frankfurt and Paris will receive a drumstick, chicken breast, cole slaw and flat bread from "Air Kentucky," an elaborate Japanese scheme to plump us up so we are juicy enough to eat upon arrival. Careful though - this deal will turn into the Ghost of Poultry Past on February 28th, so shake a tailfeather.

James Gunn, who’s been signed to direct and write Marvel’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film (see “’Guardians’ Director to Write”), has been blowing up all over the Internet this week due to a post he put up over a year ago titled “The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With,” which contained a variety of controversial comments. This post on Lady Geek Girl and Friends covers it pretty well, and links to the tumblrs that seem to have found the post first. You can get the idea from the headline: “James Gunn is a Sexist, Homophobic Jerk.” Gunn’s original post has now been deleted, but lives on in cache form.

One Insurance-Sales King. Some Very Suspicious Customers. Byeong-wu (RYOO Seung-bum, The Unjust) left the world of professional baseball behind and found success as an insurance salesman. But when one of his clients commits suicide – and there are questions about advice he provided to the insured – his own life spins out of control. As he prepares to defend himself against the pending criminal and internal investigations, he remembers selling life insurance to three suicide survivors, whose financial motives may be suspicious.
Now Byeong-wu must scurry through the city in a frantic attempt to chase these people down. Can he convince them to change their plans – and that life may be worth living – before time runs out?

Tokyopop
Nov,20,2012

With Thanksgiving on the way, you'll soon be weighed down by enough turkey to kill a small horse, and with Black Friday hot on its heels, your wallet will soon be lifted of its heavy cash-filled burden. But how are the discerning otaku to spend their hard-earned scratch? We have you covered with our second annual anime/manga holiday gift guide.

Outside the Box (Set) - The ability to stream copious amounts of anime through apps like Netflix , Crackle and Hulu is one of the blessings of modern day living, but nothing compares to all the bells, whistles and behind-the-scenes extras you get from Blu-ray/DVD box sets. RightStuf has a tantalizing trio of holiday offerings that are a must-have for nostalgia junkies and anime lovers alike - Revolutionary Girl Utena (with art box and rare production notes), Ristorante Paradiso (with illustrated postcards by Natsume Ono) and Martian Successor Nadesico (featuring the Gekingangar 3 spin-off for the first time in English!). With so much anime to watch, it'll be Black Friday 2013 before you need more! Tokopop Gift Guide

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has charged that "abuse and neglect" caused the death of animals during the filming of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In a post on its Website titled "The Hobbit: Unexpected Cruelty," PETA said that a whistleblower had revealed that five horses, a pony, and several goats, sheep, and chickens were allegedly maimed and killed, not while on set, but where the animals were kept during filming. The injuries included falls into sinkholes or from embankments; chickens were killed when mauled by dogs or trampled by other animals, according to the allegations.
