Not Pictured: Sword.
So a long time ago I used to write a trend-blog called “WTF World” I ultimately had to abandon after nearly 6 months of writing (I wrote 28 WTF World blogs, and PG is now at 23 blogs, so I’ve almost caught up to my previous blog, that’s exciting). Every week I would look at trends and just bitch and complain about them. The problem was more often than not it just ended up being celebrity news which was not that interesting to me and really didn’t fit in with the rest of the site. Sometimes though, I miss it.
This is one of those times.
Today, in a very special Perspicacious Geek, WTF World is back because there are just so many things happening in pop culture that I want to talk about. In fact, I was thinking about a few trends over the weekend that I wanted to write about and 2 of those things got bumped because I wanted to talk about what happened in the last few days even more. In the name of full transparency the things that got bumped from this column were Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble and Benedict Cumberbatch referring to black actors as “colored actors”. I will probably end up talking about these things on this week’s 9to5 Entertainment System. So look forward to that. So what are we talking about instead.
The Red Ranger Killed Someone With a Sword
In the immortal words of Channel 101’s Cautionary Tales of Swords, “Swords will fuck you up.” Apparently, Ricardo Medina Jr. was not happy being just another Red Ranger, he wanted to be the most notorious Red Ranger there ever was. I know you might be asking yourself “are there other notorious Red Rangers?” Well, if you consider your career going from being a Power Ranger to doing gay porn as notoriety then yes, there are other notorious Red Rangers. Austin St. John went from being the original Red Ranger to doing porn some time ago, so the bar was set pretty high if you wanted to top that.
