Damn it, Sony’s done it again – releasing the coolest stuff only to it’s Japanese customers at home. Today they announced two new products that should turn hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of gamers green with envy. The first is a Japan-exclusive Michael Jackson-themed PS3 bundle. People hoping to cash in on the passing of the King of Pop are releasing the “movie” ‘This is It’ on Blu-ray and Sony has decided to moonwalk along with them to the money. The Playstation 3 Slim bundle costs ¥33,500 and includes a 120 GB hard drive, one controller, and the Blu-ray of MJ’s salvaged concert rehearsal footage.

Why only Japan, Sony? Don’t you know we love Captain Eo over here too?

The second slap comes with the announcement that Japan is getting a “Spring Blossom Pink” PSP 3000. Sure, three years ago there was a co-branded P!nk (as in the slutty popstar) PSP bundle and the more recent release of a “Lilac” PSP with a Hannah Montana game, but we need more options for accessorizing our gaming systems with our outfits. Unfortunately, for now it looks like only Japanese gaming fashion-istas can pick up the Spring Blossom Pink handheld for ¥16,800 ($183).

After a slight delay, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released all classified documents as it relates to the pop superstar Michael Jackson. These documents cover a wide-range of topics, from child molestation charges to death threats received by the deceased singer and dancer.

Let me be on record as despising Deepak Chopra. Man is a charlatan with expensive jewel-rimmed glasses who loves to drone on and on about souls and quantum mechanics and healing and blah blah blah buy my new book because I speak with an accent and that means I have some kind of deep connection with the truth of the universe and oh yeah my son always hung out with Michael Jackson and nothing sexual ever happened so Michael Jackson is a creative genius who bettered the world….and…all skeptics are bad.

That last part appears in so many words within a new editorial written by Deepak himself.

The editorial goes on and on about how skeptics are bad for the world and, amazingly, bad for science, claiming one false fact after another, like these few gems:

Most of my stinging darts come from skeptics. Over the years I’ve found that ill-tempered guardians of scientific truth can’t abide speculative thinking.

Wow, 99.9% of science is based on skepticism of a held belief and the willingness to explore something new, unless you’re a creationist, which accounts for that last .1%

Since the skeptics who write venomous blogs trust in nothing, I imagine that God will outlive them.

Someone wake up in a bad mood today? You can imagine it all you want. Produce evidence for God and a soul, hell, produce a reason why either would exist, all I’ll join your “imagination” bandwagon.

No skeptic, to my knowledge, ever made a major scientific discovery or advanced the welfare of others. Typically they sit by the side of the road with a sign that reads “You’re Wrong” so that every passerby, whether an Einstein, Gandhi, Newton, or Darwin, can gain the benefit of their illuminated skepticism.

Well, now that just takes the cake. Every single one of these people would hate Deepak’s guts. All of them were skeptics. All of them fought an established system, much hate and ever death threats for their research.
