This fanfic is like a fake/comedy news show, but instead, it's about video games, Power Rangers, etc. It's kinda like "The Colbert Report." To read the other episodes, go to http://z6.invisionfree.com/Cornell_Nation/index.php?showforum=1.

Ethan: Welcome to “The Cornell Report!” Unfortunately, Cassidy is sick, so I’m taking over today. Next month, Power Rangers; Operation Overdrive will premiere, but that’s not the only family premiere.
With so four times the boo-yah! So four times the villains!
OMG! Kim Possible is coming back! It’s so exciting!1
Oh, and did we mention Ashley Tisdale?
Ashley Tisdale: It’s so hard to be me!
Okay, you lost me.

The PlayStation 3 is not doing very well at the moment, and many “analysts” are predicting that things will go horrible for Sony. According to nexgenwars.com Microsoft has sold 10 million 360s, Nintendo has sold 4 million Wiis, and Sony has only sold 1 million PS3s. I bet most Sony fans are now Nintendo or Microsoft fans.
http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/3988/sonywiift6.jpg
That’s because Sony is trying to hard. The Wii commercials were directed by some guy who won an Acardemy Award, or something, and it had two Japanese guys in a cool car. The PS3 commercials had weird babies, Rubik’s Cube, and eggs. I mean most of the commercials didn’t even have gameplay footage. I mean, some guy who doesn’t know anything about video games might watch the commercial and not know what it’s about. And since they had no where else to advertise, they chose to advertise in an Xbox 360 game.

And who could forget “Ken Kutagari’s SixAxis Steak Sauce?”
http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1087/sonysaucevi5.jpg
And speaking of advertisements, the Colts beat the Bears in Super Bowl XLI, but everyone only seemed to care about the commercials. Well, this year, the commercials sucked. The majority of them had someone get beaten up. Car collision, ripped chest hair, getting hit in the head with a rock, letting guys with axes and chainsaws in your car, people getting slapped in the face, an assembly line machine dreaming that he commits suicide, a man getting hit by a meteor, and Kevin Federline working in a fast food restraunt.

Now, recently, “Windows Vista” was released, and no one really likes it. Well, Jon Stewart does…since he got it for free. Most people are complaining that Vista is just a ripoff of Mac OS X, but David Pogue from the New York Times tried to prove everyone wrong. Take a look:

Okay, it’s true. Microsoft added little flippy triangles for folder lists like Mac OS X, and both come with a calendar program that has a certain resemblance to iCal, and yes, there is a photo organizing program that sort of smacks like iPhoto-
I hope you’re going somewhere with this.
But you know what, this is all just superficial stuff. I think that all of the complaining that Microsoft is ripping off of Mac OS X is just sour grapes.
Sour…grapes. Interesting.
This is how you find things in Mac OS X. You hit a keystroke, you type in what you’re looking for, and “Spotlight,” as the feature is called, finds all of the files, folders and e-mails messages from the entire system. Well, now they have that in Windows Vista too.
Uh-huh… and how is this not a copy?
Watch again. Apple’s search menu is on the upper right corner of the screen, Microsoft’s search box in one the LOWER LEFT corner of the screen. Not the same thing at all!
That’s…amazing. Please, go on.
Let’s move on! Vista comes with something they call the “Sidebar,” handy little single purpose programs that keep track of weather, stocks, convert currency, and so on. Apple has had a feature very similar to this, but is this really the same thing? I think not. Apple’s little pop up program are called “Widgets.” Microsoft’s are called “Gadgets.” Widgets, Gadgets, NOT THE SAME THING.
You know, he’s right. Microsoft ripped off of the guys who invented gadgets. Go on.
Let me give you another example. For several years, Mac OS X has come with this very cool 3D chess game. In Windows Vista, there’s also a 3D chess game. I know, I know, looks like a total ripoff so far, but consider, on the Macintosh, you can change the material the board is made of. Your choices are marble, wood, metal or grass.

*David makes stupid face*

But on Windows Vista, your choices are marble, wood, or PORCELEIN.
Yup, he’s an idiot. If you have a Mac OS X like me, and you want a Windows Vista…you already have it.

Moving on.

“Heroes” is starting to be very confusing. If you haven’t seen the latest episode, don’t read this.

Apparently, NATHAN, my least favorite character in “Heroes” is Claire’s REAL FATHER. So Claire’s mother and Nathan had Claire, who was adopted and has an adoptive brother, but Nathan got married an had his own children, but Nathan slept with Niki/Jessica who is married to D.L and had Micah, and Nathan’s brother, Peter had to lie about it, and Peter slept with Simone, who was previously Issac’s girlfriend, who Peter stole his painting powers from, along with Claire, Peter, and Matt, who’s married, but her wife slept with someone else. All we need is to have Hiro sleep with one of the female characters and all of them is somehow related.

Anyway, big news for Power Rangers. According to Ron Wasserman, there will be a Power Rangers animated series. If it’s anything like “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” everything will be recolored Pink, there will only be four rangers, and the missing ranger will be replaced by two completely useless allies and will forever be argued whether it is in continuity or not. But the big question is…what will it be based on? The hideous looking Cat Sentai? Operation Overdrive? I mean, if Kalish and/or Disney is involved, I doubt that it will be original, but if they are involved and try to base it on any of the past seasons…the Power Rangers universe will be screwed up and will explode.

Also, the “Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive” theme song has been revealed. It’s at Jetix.tv incase you want to listen to it…which you shouldn’t. It had horrible lyrics, and a horrible singer. Here are the lyrics:

“Go Rangers Go Rangers, GO! GO! GO!
Go Rangers Go Rangers, GO! GO! GO!
Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Overdrive!
Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Overdrive!

Watch five fingers reaching for the sky in five ways,
Five heroes walking through the sun for five days,
Dark forces lurking, leaving evil where they roam
Five Rangers lookin for the same five stones!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

There's treasures to be found, there's some lives to be saved,
Our planet to look after, there's a whole lot of space!
Good vs Evil, we got heroes on the scene,
Power Rangers Overdrive is the number one team!

Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Overdrive!
Pow-er Ran-gers, Operation Oooh-verdrive!”

Now, I’m happy to see the word “go,” again, but the lyrics make no sense at all. “With five fingers reaching for the sky in five ways?” So, what, are the five rangers reaching for the sky with one finger each? And if they were all in different ways, would one ranger be like, holding up his middle finger? And we have “Five heroes walking through the sun for five days.” Shouldn’t it be sunlight? Otherwise, all of these little kids would think that the rangers were catching on fire and burning to death, or something. And “Five rangers looking for the same five stones.” They seem to have more emphasis on the number 5. What’s going to happen when the Silver Ranger comes? Also, whoever was singing this SUCKED. At first, I didn’t even know that it was a song. I thought that my speaker was broken. I think that whoever sang the Mystic Force theme song was better, and that’s saying something.

Someone claiming to be Monica May posted at RB. Here’s her second post there:
Somebody post a word and I will have a friend take my picture taken while I write it on a chalk board or something. Then I will post the picture for you to see. Wow, shame on you non believers...

Monica
But…no one REALLY doubted that it was you…until you posted that message. So, you’ll post a picture with a message that an RB member requested.

Heres a pic of me with a Labou plush toy. Sorry it took so long - I had to get Greg to post it up online on their site for this link thing to work. Enjoy! :)

I don’t understand how a picture of Monica May with a plush toy proves it. I mean, she could’ve gotten that anywhere. Oh well. We’ll find out soon.

“The Naked Brothers Band” premiered last week…for the third time. Anyway, this movie was horrible. But it didn’t really seem like a kid’s movie. They had a scene where a gay couple says, “They performed ‘Crazy Car’ at our wedding ceremony!” Now, I have nothing against homosexuality, but is it a really good idea to mention that in a NICKELODEON movie? Also, there was product placements (Harry Potter books, Game Boy Advance, Cherrios), nudity, and references to drinking, censorship, boobs, and more. Sounds like an ABC Family movie instead. But despite of all of this, there really haven’t been any complaints, and why? It’s because of The W0r|) of t3h D@y.

Evolution

Now, I’m not completely sure about evolution.
• “South park” said that it involves "five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel."

But I believe that in a way, the children of today are evolving.
• They’re turning into perverts and Hilary Duff wannabes

And when I mean evolving, I mean becoming more mature. I heard a 7 year old curse once, and no one cared.
• The teacher just laughed

And it seems like many kids are now making dirty, sex-related jokes since most of them are getting “the talk” at an earlier age.
• Although most of them laugh or throw up

Now why is this? Also, it seems like more kids are now smoking and taking drugs. I’m sure that these random people have gone to your school and saying how harmful drugs and smoking are in a very creepy way.
• These guys might be the reason kids smoke and take drugs

Do you know the problem with this? Maybe if kids didn’t KNOW about drugs and smoking and all of that stuff, they wouldn’t take them. They are just giving bad people ideas on how to manipulate children’s minds.
• Like how Fox gave ideas on how a child molester can use game consoles to find kids

The less they know, the better. Now, back to evolution. Take a look at this cover to a magazine about evolution.
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/2641/j35174op7.jpg
What exactly does a shirtless boy have to do with evolution?
• I can take a guess.

Man, these magazine covers don’t make sense anymore.
•http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6395/sqpowerql9bn8.th.jpg (http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sqpowerql9bn8.jpg)

But my point is that this is good and bad. But mostly bad. There has been crap on Nickeloeon lately.
• The X’s

But it’s good because Nick seems to be appealing to a different audience. But what about the old audience?
• They change the channel to Cartoon Network

And TeenNick? Those aren’t teen shows. Those are shows ABOUT teens.
• Although “Ned’s Declassified” is like a kiddie version of “Scrubs”

My advice to Nick: do something like Cartoon Network and have something like “Adult Swim.” Have more mature TV shows, instead of boring old sitcoms.
• People still watch “Full House?”

And that’s The W0r|) of t3h D@y.
• Evolution

My guests tonight are two well known members in the Power Ranger Empire community, and more recently, the “Ranger Wars” community. For those guys in other boards who don’t know what “Ranger Wars” is, it’s an RPG game in PRE. Many members have formed alliances and everyday, we attack, die, get revived, and repeat. It’s pointless, and yet really addicting. There are various groups or alliances in Ranger Wars. SKS, HHC, The Others, blah blah blah. And the only guys who take Ranger Wars seriously are people in these groups. No offense, of course. Joining us, via satellite, CPS and Tendou.

Ethan: CPS, Tendou, thanks for coming here.

First thing's first: Between the two of you, which one of you is better in Ranger Wars, and why?

CPS: Well, obviously me. As for a reason...well, I'm just better.

Ethan: TENDOU! YOUR RESPONSE!

Tendou: Hmm...the better in Ranger Wars? I'd say I'm the better fighter, cuz I'm just cool like that. CPS probably has more time to waste on it, though, so he can get the trophy for that one.

Ethan: Uh-huh. So CPS, what does CPS stand for?

Could Prove Something?
Can Poop Stuff?
Calenders Post Special things?
Coke Pepsi Sprite?

CPS: Well, the one I'm using is Centipede Poison Shadowborg, which is to promote my awesome Shinmei suit. But, it really is a shortening of my original username, cpstargazer222.

Ethan: CPS... do you hate geeks?

CPS: Hmm...I really haven't given it much thought. I guess I can't, because I am one. A geek is someone who is addicted to a TV show or movie so much that they want to be in it, and that is how I am to PR and BBBB.

Ethan: Now, let's talk more about Ranger Wars. How do you feel about the changes?

Tendou: The changes are a bunch of crap, IMO. I mean, the Shadow does what a Shadow's gotta do, but it seems like they're an inconvenience to everyone involved in Ranger Wars. For instance--only being able to attack people when they're online. I guess it adds some fairness to the game, but it really is a pain in the butt to have to go searching for someone to attack.

Life's not fair, though...

Ethan: I know what you mean.

I mean, Meso's trying to make it fair... but it seems a little...worse.

Tendou: Yeah. But thank goodness CPS doesn't have a life so I can attack him whenever I want to!

Ethan: Well, if CPS didn't have a life... he wouldn't be alive.

Tendou: Good point. What am I being interviewed for again?

Ethan: What are you NOT being interviewed for?

...

Never mind. So...your username. Is it like...something from Kamen Rider, or something?

Tendou: Well...my username. It's the name...of...the coolest Kamen Rider...ever! Tendou Souji = Kamen Rider Kabuto. Lately he's just been getting cooler and cooler.

You should really check out some Kamen Rider.

Ethan: Now, I've been doing some research and I found out about this little group called "The Other(s)." They have been described as "awesome" and the "best group in Ranger Wars." Would you agree with this?

Tendou: Well, I'm not too sure. Teh Other(s) are kind of annoying, to be honest. They don't really do anything and just kind of put a screw in the whole Ranger Wars process. But, they are "awesome" in the sense that it's always entertaining to visit their HQ and see what's going on. Their theme song is hilarious.

But, if you're going after the coolest/best/awesomest guild Ranger Wars has ever seen...you might want to check out The Elite.

Ethan: Uh-huh… Doubt it. CPS, I’ve read some comments that you’ve made about a certain member’s avatar in PRE, and you seem to hate the movie “Napoleon Dynamite.” Why is that?

CPS: Anyways...I think Napoleon Dynamite is a little odd. I mean, I like movies where it actually has a plot. Plus, the guy's a moron.

Tendou: Napoleon Dynamite? I love Napoleon Dynamite! Kip = my homeslice.

Ethan: …interesting. CPS, have you ever heard of the saying, "Good stories have plots, greater stories don't make sense?"

CPS: Then my life must be the greatest story of all.

Ethan: Did you hear what Tendou said earlier?

CPS: So? Why should I care what someone else thinks. He is entitled to his opinion.

Stupid Tendou.

Ethan: It seems like this interview is turning into a war of worlds. Now, which Ranger Wars group are you in, and why do you think that you will win?

CPS: I am in SKS. Why will we win? Hmm...*mumbles quietly*...the voices in my head say so, that's why.

Ethan: Now, who do you attack the most, and why?

CPS; Well, it's usually Tendou, General Jack O'Neill (think I'm spelling that right), and anza power. The reasons behind it: they're always on.

Ethan: In retrospect, do you think that after a while, Ranger Wars is pointless?

I mean, people attack each other, people die, people get revived, people level up, people get harder to kill, and no one dies or wins. What do you think?

CPS: Yep...pretty much. I mean, it's fun and all, but in the end, it doesn't affect you at all.

Ethan: So, why do you still play it?

CPS: It's entertaining, and keeps you on edge. I think if I stopped now, I'd feel a deep loss.

Ethan: Do you go on any boards besides PRE?


CPS: Yes, but really not as often. I'm registered at RangerTalk and, I think, Ranger Power. I am also on Japan Hero. Again, I really don't do much on those sites, except an occasional post or two.

Oh yeah! I'm also registered on BZPower, a Bionicle forum.

Ethan: Bionicle? Lately, Bionicle seems so... stupid, unoriginal and confusing.

CPS: Yeah...I haven't really gone on there that much. Of course, I keep my account because I go through phases of obsession. So, some time soon, I might become entirely involved in another TV show.

Ethan: What other TV shows do you like?

CPS: Well, Heroes, Avatar, Charmed, (ended :( ) TMNT, Smallville, Supernatural, and Mythbusters. I have more, but it'd take too long.

Ethan: What about video games?

CPS: Well, the only one that comes to mind is Mortal Kombat. Man, I rock at that.

Ethan: Now, do you guys enjoy attacking each other in Ranger Wars?

Tendou: I don't really attack CPS as much, because I don't want to give him EXP, so I tend to go for the lower levels, ya know? Like...you.

CPS: Oh, real classy. I never insulted you...well, there was that one thing...

How dare you not give me exp?

Ethan: Would you look at that? We are running out of time. Is there anything you would like to say to each other?

CPS: Hehe...well, I'd like to say that Tendou is way more antagonistic than me, (hey look, big word ) and *sings Beetleborgs theme song*.

Tendou: Not really.

Wait...You're going down.

Who's antagonistic? I'm everyone's friend.

CPS: You're very antagonistic...you're in denial.

Tendou: ...Right.

The Elite > SKS.
Heck, even Teh Others > SKS.

Why don't you go jump out a window?

I'm just kidding. I'm really a lovable guy.

CPS: ...to everyone else.

SKS>everyone

And yes, I am a Window Jumping Maniac.

Tendou: What the hell is a Window Jumping Maniac?

And yeah...I'm basically nice to everyone but you, CPS. But your opinion doesn't really matter, so... *yawn*
I'm just kidding buddy.

lint (of Teh Other(s)) > SKS

Ethan: This proves that interviews with two people at the same time are awesome. Although, I’m not even sure if this is an interview anymore. You know, I was reading your interview in PRE, and you guys are nice, asking questions, etc.

But here, everythings heating up. There's fighting, talking, and.. more fighting.

CPS: Politeness everywhere else, except for the World of Ranger Wars.

Tendou: ...He started it.

CPS: When, Tendou? Show me.

Ethan: So you guys are like, good friends by day, worn enemies by... the rest of the day.

Tendou: Exactly. Well, I mean...the guy's cool. He's just...annoying at the same time. It's kinda hard to deal with, ya know? Like little kids.

CPS = bipolar six-year-old on their period. In a nutshell.


...JK.

Ethan: I...think that's enough.

*Ethan turns off the screens*

Well, that’s all for tonight. Join us next week, and (hopefully) Cassidy will be back on the anchorman’s chair.

Here is it, your Moment of Zen.
Always try to think of your own ideas and don’t take anything from other people!

Never stop being a kid and keep acting childish.
