Rather than wasting January on the traditional ‘Happy New Year’ quote; we’ve decided to enlist McGruff the Crime Dog as our spokesperson for this month’s quote of the month. McGruff the Crime Dog was created by the National Crime Prevention Council for use by American police in building crime awareness among children. McGruff reaches kids through commercials, songs and booklets and is often seen talking about drugs, bullying, safety and the importance of staying in school. Even this site likes to give quotes about public safety every once in a while so here is Mcgruff’s favorite motto for all of you drunken sailors out there on this brand new year of 2007:

Video games will be in high demand this holiday season especially with the launch of Nintendo’s Wii console and Sony’s Playstation 3. This will cause many gamers to flock to their favorite retailers to buy the lastest and greatest video games from North America and Japan for their favorite systems. Video games now have expensive budgets and every detail must be fixed before a product’s release date.One major problem comes from the fact that games that are developed in Japan are later released in North America and need to be translated for the American gamer. Recently there has been more effort given to this practice to avoid any errors but that hasn’t always been the case. Over the years, there have been many translation errors from Japanese to English in what we like to call Engrish. The one that takes the cake though is from the video game Zero Wing. The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan- in which the translated quote turns into this masterpiece about invading something or someone.

Television Gameshows have brought us many memorable quotes throughout the years but no single gameshow has lasted longer than ‘The Price Is Right’ with host Bob Barker. Bob Barker has been the host since the show’s relaunch in 1972 and still hosts the show to this day. Every famous gameshow usually ends with a simple good bye or farewell but Bob puts a spin on his send off by reminding the public about his love of animals and how to control their population with this funny little quote:

Lewis Black is an American stand-up comedian, author, playwright and occasional actor. He is best known for his regular appearances on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show delivering his “Back in Black” commentary segment, in which he ridicules (often simulating a nervous breakdown or rant) recent trends and cultural phenomena. His style of comedy is that of a man who, dealing with the absurdities of life and politics, is approaching his personal limits of sanity. Sarcasm, strong language, shouting, and trademark angry finger-shaking bring emphasis to his topics of discussion.

In this quote, Lewis Black discusses the blackout that occured in 2003 that left most of the North-Eastern United States and Canada without power. He helps to explain how a baby boom doesn’t occur when the power turns off.

The Boondocks is a daily comic strip written and originally drawn by Aaron McGruder. It was established in 1999 and is now one of the 7 most read comic strips in North America. The strip depicts Huey Freeman and his younger brother Riley, two black children who have been moved out of Chicago by their grandfather to live with him in the predominantly white suburb of Woodcrest, Maryland.The title word “boondocks” refers to the isolation from primarily African-American urban life that the characters feel. Huey is politically charged and is a supporter of black radical ideas. Riley is the opposite of his brother and embraces gangsta rap culture and the “thug” lifestyle. Their grandfather is a firm disciplinarian who is offended by their values and ideas. McGruder recently sold the television and film rights for the strip to Sony and “The Boondocks” television cartoon premiered on the Cartoon Network’s ‘Adult Swim’ lineup on November 6, 2005.

In this strip quote, Huey tries to explain to his ‘gangsta’ brother that they are living in a different environment and should try to fit in better…
