2. Canada's second oldest magazine decided it simply had to change it's name. "Market research showed us that younger Canadians and women were very very unlikely to ever buy a magazine called The Beaver no matter what it's about." Via.

3. For all us KOTOR fans, it looks like there will son be a Bastila Shan action figure since she won a recent online poll. (Hopefully it'll come out better than the atrocious Darth Malak.)

Hey, who was that Ethan Haas guy?

I vaguely recall that toward the beginning of the buzz about Cloverfield, there was a mysterious viral marketing campaign called Ethan Haas Was Right that was commonly believed to be a promotion for Cloverfield. I'd forgotten all about it, until a random blog post (with some cool concept art) mentioned it today. Turns out the Ethan Haas campaign was for a totally unrelated role playing game called Alpha Omega.
