If you would like to know the real reason behind Tuesday’s election results, look no further than last night’s episode of South Park. No matter your political affiliation, this episode is hilarious especially when the secret is revealed.

Angry Birds Star Wars is now available for download via the App Store for iOS devices ($.99 / $2.99 in HD) and Macs ($4.99) running 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later.
Walmart’s Black Friday Ad has dropped and it looks like they are going to have an exclusive 8-pack of Saga Legends* figures for $25.00. This promo is available in-store only and after 8pm on Thanksgiving Day.
*As of yet there is no word if the 8 figures are this same in each set or just a cobbled together assortment of overstock. But it’s a sure bet there is nothing worth getting here unless you are looking for troop builders.

PROS: Hasbro has done the inevitable and repurposed the 2009 Major Panno in to one of my personal favorites from the Kenner line. The deco and new head sculpt are very well done and the new soft goods cloak really gives it that nostalgic “Kenner” feel.

CONS: The only drawback with this figure, and its casemates, it that it is an online exclusive – i.e. not sold in stores. : (
