Let's Do The News! (June 17, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

JC: So, there we go, folks. San Antonio Spurs took over Game 5, as expected, in the score of 114-104 versus Miami Heat so...any analysis post-game?

RH: Well, I can't believe that the Spurs went back fighting even without their ace player, Parker, and it's all because every Heat player is fell onto the whistle trap that keeps the Spurs scoring and scoring and three pointing and scoring and scoring and scoring...

(audience laughing)

RH:...goes on and on and on until the end of the game! Well, honestly, thanks to the double by Manu Ginobili and the accurate shots by Danny Green, there's no stopping for Spurs now. The Heat's aren't very pleased...

(audience laughing)

JC: Hmmm...How to put it this way? Oh yeah! CURSE YOU GINOBILI!!!!

(audience laughing)

RH: Okay, okay, that's enough now.

JC: Anyway, with Spurs won Game 5 for now, Game 6 is on Tuesday (Wednesday for Asian countries). Will Spurs win the championship or will Heat try to make it even? Let's just wait...

(audience laughing)

JM: Anyway, let's do the news folks and oh! There's a brand new BMW coming and it's called the 4-Series. Here it is...

2014 BMW 4-Series
JM: Replacement of the 3-Series Coupe, based on the current 3-Series, and it's available only in three different engines by launch such as the turbocharged 3.0-litre six cylinder in the 435i (0-62mph in 5.4s), a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-pot in the 428i (0-62mph in 5.9s) and a 2.0-litre diesel in the 420d (0-62mph in 75s, 60.1mpg). 6-speed manual standard while 8-speed auto an optional feature.

JC: I think it looks rather magnificent. It's like a 6-series got shrunken down and gave some 3-Series face on it. Now what bothers me that, is this really the replacement to the outgoing 3-Series Coupe?

JM: Yes. Absolutely. It's now under a new naming structure where odd numbers are for sedans and even numbers are for coupes, which is a weird approach for BMW to follow in the times.

JC: Anyway, yesterday was Father's Day and I was guessing everyone around here are greeting their dads with a simple "Happy Father's Day" greeting, treating dads some big treats such as dining in the restaurant, giving them gifts, so on, so forth. Well, Father's Day is cool if you're doing it right but for some, they put Father's Day in the other way around...

RH: Which is...dull?

(audience laughing)

JC: Not quite, pal. Particularly, the anime otaku selfies...

(audience laughing)

RH: Wha....?!!!

JC: Yeah. Anime is for selfies and the words "Father's Day" and "anime" doesn't count. "Father's Day" in western cartoons, live actions sitcoms, dramas, or whatever forms of media would work but in the world of Japanese anime, this is not totally related because anime's always for selfies...

(audience laughing)

JM: Selfies? Ahem...in the past, do you saw an anime titled "Listen to me girls, I'm your father!" a couple of years ago? This quite fits in the category of when "Father's Day" and "anime" does make sense...

(audience laughing)

JC: JAMES!!!!

JM: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just remembering things but still it's worth looking back on an anime about a college student who's now in custody of three nieces in place of his sister and her husband. Come on. You got to see it for a while...

JC: James. Father's day was so yesterday and if you want me to watch your lame stuff, it would be on my queuing list.

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, ever since a chrome-wrapped Lotus Evora appeared in THE HOST, the movie adaptation of the novel made by the author behind the Twilight saga, it seems that Lotus Cars are pushing too hard to get their products on the silver screen. But now, there's another Lotus going to feature in another movie and this time...take a look...

Exige S in RED 2
JM: That's a...Lotus Exige S with a supercharged V6 in middle...

JC: That's right and it's going to be in RED 2, the sequel to the 2010 action comedy where retired agents are wrecking havoc. It's the one with Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Dame Helen Mirren. Also joining were Mary Louise Parker, Welsh actress Catherine Zeta Jones, Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, and our classic Hannibal Lecter, Sir Anthony Hopkins. Anyway, while we're waiting to see this one in the coming months, I have to say that the Exige S is a fantastic car. A V6 lightweight Brit is worth a killing to the old Porsche GT3 RS and there's some great news for Japanese Lotus customers.

JM: Wait, what?

JC: Originally, Japanese Lotus distributor, LCI Limited, would launch the Exige S V6 in the middle of 2012 Japan Lotus Day but financial reasons cancelled its Japan premiere, thus leaving Japanese consumers out in the cold right now but...LCI Limited announced that they will start selling the Exige S (V6) this late July following with a debut fair at the Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, by July 27 to  August 11, 2013.

JM: Okay, that sounds nice but...does the V6-powered Exige deserves the shot to be in Gran Turismo 6 soon?

JC: No....

(audience laughing)

JC: Obviously because Gran Turismo 6 will be lacking the latest and the hottest exotics, you might as well pray that it will show up on Xbox One's Forza Motorsport 5 soon.

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, the nuclear-fueled Iran now has a new president.

(oohh)

JM: Really? Who?

JC: Says here it's Hassan Rohani and he won Iran's presidential election, declaring him as the new leader and there has been some mixed reaction about Iran's new leader. Some are positive while some are negative and we prefer the negative comments because...

JM: Up until now, you still hate Iran because of its nuclear-fueled fury and as part of the State Sponsors of Terrorism just like Cuba and Syria?

(audience laughing)

JC: Well, possibly because Iran is kinda like North Korea because their nuclear power is their source of their growth but thing is though...Iranians like Top Gear.

(audience laughing)

JM: Hmmm?

JC: True. There are so many petrolheads in Iran right now who are already getting hooked on our show and every time when it gets replaced by something something American, the Iranian men hated it and when Top Gear's on, the Iranian men are getting hooked on it, especially when this show's been dubbed in Farsi language, which is the language of Iranians.

JM: Wow...

(audience laughing)

JM: No wonder why Iranians love Top Gear a lot...

RH: Yeah, probably because of our crude adult humor Iranian grown men love...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, that is the end of the news...
