What a busy week it has been! And there is still two days left! I will enjoy the weekend and start of the new week, well, as best as possible considering the political fallout from the DNC and Obama's and McCain's Veep choices being revealed ( Read more... )

"Disney XD"...

I will not be able to think of Disney cartoons now without seeing Dark Lugia. Thanks so much, Disney.

Also: XD is officially overused. I gave Pokemon a pass because the Japanese love adding extraneous letters to everything. But this Disney thing is blatant pandering.

You know I thought the same thing myself when I heard that name.
"XD" seems to be the new "Extreme" or "X" I remember how popular adding those to titles was in the 90's.

Well, you have to give 4Kids credit for once. They named the new Yu-Gi-Oh series *5*D instead of XD. (what the hell DID GX mean anyway?)

And the only other thing I can thing of when I think XD:

Granted, it's spelled 20x6, but pronounced "20-XD-6." Either that or the XD parties Lisa and Tommy throw in #sova.

Stinkoman! XD (The emote, not the cheesy ad-on) I love that HR skit! Your win factor just increased exponentially for linking Disney XD to HomestarRunner!

The GX in Yugioh GX stood for "Generation Next" I think the D*5 is for 5 Dragons. So at the very least there is a reason for Yugioh having it's random cool letters/numbers behind it's title. (Yes, I'm a little bit of a closet Yugioh fan, don't hurt me)
The same can't be said for most things that have "XD" at the end.
