go go demon henchmen!!!!

We all loved power rangers when we were young chips and chaps, but what happened to the rainbow colored super heroes over the past 10 years? Let's take a stroll down memory lane to a place where high schooler's fight with enormous pig-headed monsters, hang out at gyms and drink smoothies all day, have bad hair and positive dispositions, everyone knows karate, and talk to giant faces that float and live in water....oh did i leave out the fact that 6 kids are in control of a few giant animal robots with armed with weapons of mass d(isney)estruction.

big z gotta get some of dat'"

from wikipedia:

"Power Rangers, a long-running American children's television series, originated from the Japanese tokusatsu Super Sentai Series. The American producers did not simply make an English dub of the original, but rather put together a "new" production with English-speaking actors spliced in with the original Japanese footage in varying ratios. Due to the very Japanese nature of many of the Super Sentai Series' stories and design, the American shows vary detail to appeal to a Western audience. A Power Ranger, a fictional individual, "morphs" from a person into a powerful superhero — generally wearing a color-coded battle suit usually made of spandex or other skin-tight material and a helmet with an opaque visor. In many cases, the helmet serves to protect his or her secret identity. In some cases, more powerful Rangers may have extra shielding on their suit to protect them from strong blows.

Since its american debut in 1993, the Power Rangers franchise has had 16 different spinoffs, with 16 different theme songs. I felt compelled to search for these theme songs online, on a little website, you guys may have heard of it....YOUTUBE... for shits and giggles, what i found was very odd to say the least...


It's a shame to see great song writing lost to the hands of the disney corporation. Before Disney came along, the deep emotional connectivity of those tunes flowed through our souls. Played at our birthday parties, proms, halloween stores, weddings, and yes even barmitzvah's, the songs stayed true to their fans, great music with a positive message....until power rangers RPM came along, then it was like watching two beautiful unicorns make love, and then mickey mouse taking a liquid shit into a funnel and dribbling it all over them. fuck u disney, u took a liquid shit all over my childhood. theend.

  2. I have always hated the dumb Power Rangers, they hold no truth in the fall of a sweet and bitter empire. Pokemon on the other hand delves deep into the perils of our existence. Gotta catchem' all Ash Katchem?? You go you prepubescent Adolf Hitler wannabe.
