A ban on fast food advertisements in the United States could reduce the number of overweight children by as much as 18 percent, according to a new study being published this month in the Journal of Law and Economics. The study also reports that eliminating the tax deductibility associated with television advertising would result in a reduction of childhood obesity, though in smaller numbers.

It seems that Warner has tapped the talents of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Spiderman 2, Smallville) to pen the script for the upcoming feature film adaptation of Robotech. Once a mainstay of the 80's era of the transforming cartoon robots, Robotech also holds a distinction of being a cult favorite in terms of its harder-edged anime status. The show was dubbed in English for US audiences and aired on TV, as they made just ...

There's an interview on MMO Champion with the first guy ever to reach the highest level in World of Warcraft (which is probably much more dramatic than the above screenshot of the actual event would lead you to believe). He's some 21-year-old guy who points out that he does indeed have a job. He took 27 hours to advance his character, Nymh, from level 70, the previous cap, to level 80, the new cap raised ...
