This particular exhibit was made for the Chocolate Wonderland display which in itself was part of a larger Beijing-based chocolate promotional event due to open on January 29th. Set to be held in Beijing’s “Bird’s Nest” Stadium, this entire event focused on marketing chocolate to the Chinese public.
According to the show manager, Tina Zheng: “Chocolate has not been around in China that long, it doesn’t have that several-thousand-year history that it does in the West which has made chocolate as common as milk or fruit.”

You could not ask for better PR!
Anderson Cooper, who you might remember from his Hurricane Katrina coverage just gave himself some pretty decent badass points by running into a crowd of looters in Haiti and rescuing a little kid.
Revision 3 has drafted a rather convincing open letter to Conan O’Brien offering him a position within their company, checkout the letter below!
Excerpt:
Mr. Conan “CoCo” O’Brien,
I’m taking this opportunity to officially offer you a brand-new show of your choosing here at Revision3. Rest assured, you’ll be able to bring your set, band and even Andy (especially Andy) with you as you transition to our cutting-edge online TV network. We have room for the Masturbating Bear, FedEx Pope and even Mini Jay Leno here on the internet.
Have you seen the internet lately? It’s huge!
Now I know what you’re thinking: “This is absolutely the offer I’ve been waiting for.” I’m sure you’re also thinking: “but I have a traditional TV network show right now, and offers from others, why would I leave the traditional networks?” One word, Conan: the future. (OK, that’s two words). I know you don’t have a big footprint in online media at the moment, but take our word for it: Internet television is the future. The space has seen a 35% average increase in advertising spending in 2009. (Just think how many cigars that would buy for Triumph The Comic Insult Dog).
Here’s another benefit the internet can offer: no official air time. That’s right. NO AIR TIME. This is the world of non-linear entertainment: some may watch your show at 11:35, some at 12:05, some at 10:00…and who cares….you finished shooting the show at 6:30 and are asleep by then anyhow!
I know you’re also weighing countless job offers from extended cable networks and hardcore porn channels. Just know we serve more videos than your average porn site (not true) and have more viewers than your average extended cable network (true).
To sum up, Conan, you have the keys to the kingdom here at Revision3. You want to change our studio around? Done. Want to move any of our existing shows to 10pm Please do. Want to give Andy his own show so he can finally truly control the universe? Done. You name the game, we’ll make it happen.
Other benefits:
- A fantastic creative and supportive working environment
- No network censors
- Top notch adsales team monetizing your show
- Complimentary broadband
- “Competitive” salary (you’re going to have more money than Oprah from NBC, so what do you care?!)
- Managed social media strategy, building a dedicated audience around your show
- Decent benefits
Call me any time, day or night. As one “really tall guy” to another, I promise never to pull a Jeff Zucker on you. Here’s hoping Revision3, internet television, can be the new home to countless string dances in the future!
Ryan Vance
VP Programming/Production
Though Revision 3’s chances seem pretty slim it would be fun to have Conan uncensored!
I am starting to feel like the same thing happens every year, some studio decides that it would be a good idea to make a fighting game into a movie. Of course the directors producers and writers have never played the game or heard of the franchise which in turn makes the movie suck.
By design these movies are meant to be bad but that should not effect their entertainment value. Movies like Street Fighter (Legend of Chun Li), Mortal Kombat Annihilation and Dragon Ball have all sucked because of the standard issues
Poor Direction
Failing to stick to original plot
Bad Acing
Mediocre fight scenes
This genre of movie needs a chance to suck in it’s own way, fans do not flock to theaters to see live-action versions of movies andthe over exposure of these movies also have the added effect of hurting the franchise by association.
Let’s hope that Tekken tries to break the mold by sticking to the plot of the game and simply being an enjoyable campy movie! The film will premiere on Blu-ray and DVD in the U.K. on April 5.
Samuel L. Jackson gets the iPhone treatment with the new iSam Jackson iPhone app. The app comes with over 150 lines recoded by Jackson himself for the project, unfortunately this means that some of his most famous lines will be excluded. The phone comes with two settings “Clean” and “Explicit”!
The anime-themed aircraft is the result of a joint effort between JAL and the creators of the Doraemon movies to promote this year’s annual Doraemon film, Doraemon The Movie: Nobita’s Great Battle of the Mermaid King (a.k.a. Doraemon The Legend), which will hit theaters on March 6. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Doraemon movie franchise.
