Argentina set to join Tri-Nations

Argentina have been invited to join South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in an expanded southern hemisphere rugby union championship from 2012.

It could still fall on its face but it would be awesome to have Argentina in regular competition, even if the travel is going to be a bitch.

In other news: Family Guy double to woo voters. As awesome as I think it is that this guy is going to have Peter Griffin on his election posters I really think he should watch some Family Guy first. Turns out trying to tap into popular culture for political gain doesn’t always work…

Bad Things

Whore and choir girl are often one and the same despite sanctimonious claims to the contrary

I’m a bit of a sucker for anything vampire-related, and though I was a little 50/50 after the first episode of True Blood I think i’m on the way to being hooked, but whether I end up liking the series as a whole or not I’m a big fan of the (Emmy-nominated) opening credits:

If you want to read a bit more about the creation of the titles then check out Digital Kitchen, the agency that put it together (they also did a recent campaign in the US for the second series). If you like it this is also worth a look (a little NSFW)

I also have to say that seeing Frank Sobotka and EB Farnum pull up in the first episode brought a smile to my face.
