ninjas

(S13E06) This season of America's Next Top Model continues the petite challenge by turning the girls into Anime/Video Game ninjas. Who suggests these photoshoots? I'm convinced that Tyra pulls things out of a hat.

The girls start the show with a whole ton of hating on two contestants. On America's Next Top Model: The Musical, Laura is portrayed as a backwards hick. On Survivor: Top Model, Nicole has been voted off for her monotone personality. This basically sets up the rest of the episode: the negative girls Sundai and Kara bitch, while the good models Nicole and Laura shrug it off and do well.

We told you yesterday about the new shows that NBC unveiled at their upfront, and now video previews of the new shows have made their way onto the web.

After the jump are previews for the new shows The Bionic Woman, Journeyman, Life, and Chuck, along with my quick notes on what I think based on these little snippets. Those legs above aren't exactly sexy. Maybe that's just a temporary state.

Wired has news that tomorrow the South Park episode "Good Times with Weapons" will be made available exclusively in HD on XBox Live Marketplace. "Good Times with Weapons" is the episode from season eight in which the boys purchase ninja weapons and are transformed through the power of their own imagination into anime warriors. Unfortunately for Butters/Professor Chaos, reality starts to seep in when he takes a throwing star in the eye. In true form, the boys don't try too hard to help Butters, though they do dress him as a dog so at least he can receive veterinarian care. Hey, it's better than nothing.

Also, if you buy an XBox 360 between March 20 and April 3, you'll get a free DVD copy of this HD episode. And don't forget that season eleven kicks off Wednesday night with the episode "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson."
