Pterodactyl Dinozord
 |
| Original Pterodactyl Dinozord |
(OOMNN) -- An Australian barbeque grill magnate has
commissioned a Chinese aerospace firm to build a replica of the ill-fated
Pterodactyl Dinozord, used in the hit television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, complete in every detail but equipped with modern
technology to prevent a repeat of the original's fate.
Harry Palmer, a Queensland manufacturing billionaire with
strong links to China, told Australian media that he had signed a memorandum of
understanding with ASC Ginling Aerospace to build the zord.

He said construction of the zord would begin next year and the
zord would be ready to fly in 2016. "If all goes as planned we will have a deal in place to have actress Amy Jo Johnson pilot the zord on it's maiden flight" Palmer said.
Ms. Johnson was the pilot of the original Pterodactyl Dinozord in the popular television series but has not yet agreed to fly the zord.
"It will be every bit as morphinomenal as the original
zord but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st century technology and
the latest navigation and safety systems," Palmer said in a statement. “If you
look at the cockpit of the original it was made of cheap plywood with a lot of blinking lights that had no real function. Our blinking lights will have real functions”.
The new zord is due to make its maiden flight from London to
New York in late 2016. The cost of the construction of the zord has not been
revealed, a spokesman for Palmer told Australian media.

"Of course, it will crash if a giant monster puts a
hole in it," Palmer said at a press conference when asked if the updated zord would be indestructible. "It is going to be
designed so it won't just crash by mistake”.
The original Pterodactyl Dinozord was damaged and then
changed into the Firebird Thunderzord. The Firebird Thunderzord was later
destroyed and replaced by the Crane Ninjazord.
The barbeque magnate from Queensland plans to build an
entire fleet of Dinozords including an updated Firebird Thunderzord.

When asked about any other plans he may have to connect with the fictional television character the man explained "I had already bought a replica Pink Power Ranger communicator with the hope it would let me talk to the original Pink Ranger but I guess it got broken in the mail because it doesn't let me talk to any of the Power Rangers. Not even that fake second pink ranger that nobody really liked. To be honest, I'd have been happy if it had just let me talk to Alpha 5" added the self proclaimed super fan.

Guinness World Record set
A Hamilton, Ont., man masturbated his way into the Guinness Book of World Records on Wednesday morning and helped raise money for erectile dysfunction research.
Clint Mantooth started masturbating at the Burlington Arts Centre on Friday at 8 a.m. and five days later broke the previous record of 12000 ejaculations by one man in five days time. “The plan was to save the 12001 ejaculation for Canadian born actress Neve Campbell but I got sidetracked while searching Google Images. I ran into a few screen captures of the former Pink Power Ranger, Amy Jo Johnson and the pictures just set me off. The next thing you know the whole crowd was cheering and I needed a towel to clean off,” said Mantooth. “I’m going to try to break my own record next year and hopefully Neve will get my 12002 ejaculation!”
The 40-year-old wanted to raise $100,000 for the Canadian Erectile Dysfunction Society in honour of his brother Tony, who is unable to maintain an erection for more than a few seconds at a time. So far he’s received $29,000 in donations.
Mantooth himself was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction while in college and, overcame the illness by refusing to participate in beer pong games hosted by his roommates.
“Thanks to internet porn and risqué celebrity photos, I survived,” he said. “A lot of sexy women worked really hard to make that possible. Without them, I would not be here today. I owe it to them. I owe it to any hot woman that has ever bent over and looked over her shoulder with a sultry ‘do me hard’ look. I owe it to anyone who has ever done anything naked, semi naked or even just dressed sexy for internet photos”.
Mantooth attempted the record last year, but only lasted for 11673 ejaculations.
Wednesday's record will be official once Guinness receives the evidence and approves Mantooth's claim.

Life After Power Rangers
Life After The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (located at the Life After The MMPR tab above) is a series of cartoons that show what happened to Kimberly, Jason and the rest of the Power Ranger gang after the Mighty Morphin series ended. It seems they all all got shit jobs at a place called Goldar Industries! Watch them with the closed caption on because the voices are sort of difficult to understand. These are not safe for work! Just added episode 10!

Amy Jo Johnson’s birth certificate in question
Donald Trump: Amy Jo Johnson Birth Certificate Details Being Sought By Investigators In Massachusetts, Mongolia and Beijing
WASHINGTON -- Real estate tycoon Donald Trump said Thursday he hopes questions surrounding Amy Jo Johnson’s age and birthplace would finally be addressed now that President Obama’s long form birth certificate has been released.
Trump said he didn't introduce the age or citizenship issue, but was asked about Amy Jo Johnson during an interview about a month ago. Since then, he said he's looked into it and believes "there is a big possibility" Johnson may be a clone who is younger than she claims, the daughter of a Mongolian yak herder or possibly an immortal deity who may be thousands of years old depending on which version of her birth you believe.
"I want to see Amy Jo Johnson’s birth certificate," said Trump in an interview on BCNC's "Good Morning Today" show. "How come her own so called worshippers don't know which hospital she was born in? My people found the alleged hospital and let's just say there's no birth certificate to be found. How come in the hospital itself there's no record of her birth. In other words, it doesn't say which room she was born in or how much her parents paid or even who was the doctor for her birth.”
Officials in Massachusetts have certified that Ms. Johnson was born in that state. But Trump has demanded additional proof, asserting that an online religious group claims that she could have been born thousands of years ago in China and may have been cloned multiple times. "I'm not convinced that she has one," Trump said of the birth certificate issue. "Good Morning Today" show host Meredith Von Halen asked Trump, "You've been privy to all of this new information?" His response: "Well, I have people that have been studying her and they just cannot believe what they're finding. They have been collecting her trash and sorting through it and we even have people looking at cave drawings found in Khangai Nuruu National Park located in Mongolia."
The remarks from the potential presidential candidate prompted Von Halen to ask Trump if he also had people on the ground in Communist China searching for proof of Johnson’s birthplace. He signaled he did, saying, "And they have raised serious questions. And I'm serious about how serious these questions are turning out to be." When asked how genuine his search is, Trump said, "I always take things seriously, but I've never taken anything as seriously as this, like seriously serious. I wish I didn't have to do it," he said.
"She might be considered one of the greatest actresses in the world," Trump said, but he also said acting jobs are disappearing from the United States with many going to Canada and that Johnson has given aspiring actors from the United States "a terrible role model to follow." Trump said that if Johnson officially joins the 2012 Presidential election race, “She will witness the full power of my unstoppable PR machine." He accused Johnson of carrying out confusing policies, saying, "nobody even knows what's happening with her rock band."
"I'm only interested if she was over 18 during the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series," Willie Hancock, a Trump supporter said. Hancock added "before the court revoked my visitation rights, my son Dick would bring Power Ranger VHS tapes over on the weekends. Watching Amy Jo in those episodes would, well, it would…let’s just say it would stir something primal in me and I’d end up putting little Dick to bed early so I could umm…watch the tapes privately." Hancock isn’t alone as a recent survey indicated that 96% of heterosexual males from the ages of 10 – 64 had watched Power Ranger tapes umm…privately. “Sometimes I’d feel like a weirdo but I felt my private viewings were socially acceptable knowing Amy Jo was an adult when the Power Rangers series was filmed. Now that her birth is in question I’m just filled with guilt and I get a sick feeling whenever I drive by my local high school,” said Hancock.
Trump added that he is not singling Amy Jo Johnson out because she represents a threat to his yet to be announced campaign and that sooner or later he would like to see every living American citizen’s birth certificate “just to be sure”.

"I was skeptical about listening to the Ranger film"
Everything changed this December while Gary's now fiance, Tina was adding movies to her NetFlix queue and she accidentally moved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie into the number one slot, when the DVD arrived she convinced Gary to sit with her and listen to the movie. Random admitted, "I was skeptical about listening to the Ranger film. I’ve listened to thousands of adult films since the Mentos accident and the experience is really just not that good when you are completely blind". However, in spite of his skepticism, Gary received a vision of Kimberly the pink Power Ranger, and his world was changed forever.
 |
| Gary Random |
"Oh my God, I can see Amy Jo Johnson!”
Random recalled the events leading up to that vision, "My blind eyes starting watering after the opening music and they watered for 5 minutes straight. I went to wipe my right eye and I could see Amy Jo. His enthusiasm continued as he remarked, "While I wiped my right eye, I could see Amy Jo out of my left." He then told Tina, "Oh my God, I can see Amy Jo Johnson!” To which Tina responded, "For fuck’s sake Gary, you are such a friggin pervert." Random then exclaimed, "No, I really see Amy Jo out of my BLIND eyes!"

Dr. Samuel Emmanuel, a local optometrist, explained in an interview, "I've heard of cases of people regaining their sight, but I've never experienced something of Gary's magnitude. Miracles can happen and some of those miracles are pretty big." He continued his explanation of what happened by noting that Mr. Random's experience is quite unique as Gary could only see Amy Jo Johnson and could not see any of the other actors in the film. “I thought at first it was simply repressed memories that were giving Gary his special vision as it is not uncommon for someone to remember Amy Jo in her tight white mid-drift revealing top and tiny pink shorts jumping up and down and doing acrobatics such as cartwheels months or even years after viewing that particular film” noted Emmanuel.
"Gary would sit straight up in a fully erect position and could describe exactly what Johnson was doing on screen”
Emmanuel then put Gray through a battery of tests such as playing episodes of Power Rangers Jungle Fury that did not feature Amy Jo Johnson and the doctor was mystified by the results. “Gary would just sit there seeing nothing and sometimes would simply fall asleep but when I’d play episodes of Flashpoint that did feature Ms. Johnson, Gary would sit straight up in a fully erect position and could describe exactly what Johnson was doing on screen”. The doctor noted that these could not be repressed memories as Flashpoint was produced well after the Mentos accident that cost Random his sight.

Random concluded his remarks and summed up the situation and optimism for his future by saying, "Well at least I can see something other than black nothingness. In books and movies they sugar coat blindness by saying you can smell things better or can see things by touch, it’s all a big lie, when I touch Tina’s face I still see nothing and I go wow you have a face, I wonder what it looks like”. Tina plans to use Amy Jo Johnson films and music to spice up the couples love life, "it's way cheaper than Viagra and you don't need a prescription to get it" explained Tina. "Gary has just been a love machine since having his Amy Jo Johnson visions!"
Gary and Tina plan to get married this coming April in a Power Rangers themed ceremony.

Fear of a brick and mortar Temple of Amy Jo Johnson continues in Alabama
© 2010 GlobalNewsDaily
Sweet Water, Alabama (Global News Daily) - A new Temple of Amy Jo Johnson will open its doors just steps from K-Mart where it is alleged that Order of Meridian zealots trampled 51 people while scrambling to secure pink Power Ranger action figures in the name of Amy Jo Johnson on Nov. 25, 1994.
The parcel at 15 Ernie's Place is just two blocks north of the K-Mart site. Order of Meridian worshipers currently occupy the property, and they plan to turn it into a major Amy Jo Johnson cultural center.
"Only in Sweet Water, Alabama is this possible," Daisy Chan, executive director of the American Society for Order of Meridian Advancement, or ASOMA, told Global News Daily. Chan is the wife of Fore Chan, founder of ASOMA.
Real-estate Company Sabong Properties, a business run by The Order of Meridian, purchased the property in July. The building site had been vacant since that fateful day in 1994 when time stood still as hundreds of Americans braved harsh conditions to secure Power Ranger action figures. Fore Chan was an investor in that real estate transaction.
Just down the street, the Museum of Jewish Jews honors Jewish people, and St. Nicholas’ Church of The Divine Reindeer, Sweet Water’s oldest Catholic house of worship, is located around the corner.
Chan has announced his plans to turn the property into a complete Amy Jo Johnson cultural center, with a Temple, a museum, "merchandising options," and room for seminars to reconcile religions, "to counteract the backlash against The Order of Meridian in general". The project may cost as much as $350 million.
"It was almost obvious that something like this had to arise from the ashes of 10/25," Chan told GND. "In some way, this has the hand of the divine written over it. It's almost as if Amy Jo wanted us to be involved."
The construction is supported by most of the city. The mayor's director of the Office of Spiritual Affairs, India Shaman, told the GND, "We feel that the Sweet Water Order of Meridians have as much of a commitment to promoting Sweet Water, Alabama as anybody."
City council member Candice Maroney doesn’t agree. “It’s just too soon, the wounds of 10/25 are still fresh. I was at the K-Mart that day sixteen years ago trying to get my daughter Christine a pink ranger for Christmas. The Meridians were jumping over the barricades and everyone was screaming. You just had to keep walking on your toes to keep from falling over."
“Nobody wanted to give their child a blue ranger for Christmas, it was an insult I’ll never forget or forgive”
Maroney recalled the chaos that ensued as the last pink ranger figure came off the shelf. “I was pushed to the floor and a sea of people piled on top of me, they were tugging at my action figure, pulling my hair and punching me in my ribs." When store employees finally cleared the pile, Maroney was shocked to discover her pink ranger had been replaced by a blue ranger figure. “Nobody wanted to give their child a blue ranger for Christmas, it was an insult I’ll never forget or forgive” said Maroney who also blames the ranger swap for straining the relationship with her only child.
Maroney’s daughter has since undergone gender reassignment surgery and now goes by the name Christopher. “You can’t blame the Meridians for the events of 10/25. The Meridians don’t worship the pink ranger, they worship Amy Jo Johnson who played one of the many pink rangers” explained Christopher who joined The Order in 2003. “The action figure those people were fighting over had a helmet that could not be removed. As far as we know it could have been a Japanese actress or even a stunt woman under that helmet.” noted Christopher.
"As far as we know it could have been a Japanese actress or even a stunt woman under that helmet.”
Both Fore and Daisy Chan admit that some Meridians do indeed collect pink ranger action figures but only the figures that feature Amy Jo Johnson’s likeness. Fore Chan, born in Cape Cod, has also written three books: "Pink is in: A New Vision for The Order of Meridian," "Live, Love and Laugh: A Sacred Law" and "Pursuit of Happiness: A Search for Life’s Meaning."
GND reported in 2003 when, at least four times that year, the FBI's Sweet Water field office held all-day sensitivity training sessions, not far from K-Mart, featuring the Chans.
Speaking for about two hours each session, "they gave an overview of Amy Jo Johnson culture and some of the differences between what fundamentalist groups say are the teachings of the Order and what they believe, as a students of religion, the Order actually says," said special agent Jason David, spokesman for the FBI Sweet Water office.
"The Order certainly doesn't counsel trampling, murder or mayhem"
Fore Chan asserted that the Order "certainly doesn't counsel trampling, murder or mayhem," David said. And he said zealots have misinterpreted the Order’s term "collect all things Amy Jo Johnson" to mean violent, or armed struggle to complete Amy Jo Johnson collections. Chan claims it simply means collect all things Amy Jo Johnson in your hearts, minds or computer hard drives.
Readers of various blogs are outraged at the news of the Temple. Comments include the following:
* Order of Meridians are doing this only to see if they get away with it. It's the way AJJ worship spreads in every country these days, like a cancer – through incremental totalitarianism. In this case, they'll quietly open the Temple, then, as they get away with it, they'll ramp up their outrages until someone finally points it out. At that time, their lawyers, backed by the ACLU and various liberal organizations, will pounce.
* This is not different than allowing the Nazis to establish their headquarters and propaganda office in NYC in 1938. How come people could tell right from wrong then and not now?
* What bonehead allowed this to happen?
* That's disgusting. That truly is low. I feel bad for the kids who only got blue ranger dolls.
* This is outrageous. I just don't have a word. Well except for outrageous, I think that's considered a word.
* You've got to be kidding me. If this is true, our beloved country is already gone. We no longer have the America I know and love.
* Who wants to bet this place becomes a "tourist attraction" for Order of Meridians? This Temple will become one of Johnson's holiest shrines as it sits upon the site of their greatest modern consumer victory.
* Good idea. Maybe zealots will be less likely to trample people if there's a Temple there.

Amy Jo Johnson worship banned
A fight over religious freedom is brewing in the Frank County school system. A student at Dawson High School says she’s practicing her faith by wearing a Power Rangers T-shirt.
But that goes against school policy and she’s been suspended.
Freshman Lucy Lawson told ABC13 she belongs to the Temple of Amy Jo Johnson.
The church says members reserve the right to wear Power Rangers merchandise for spiritual and other reasons.
“We believe that the mind body soul are all one entity and that by wearing Power Ranger clothing, you can bring the mind and soul into harmony,” explained Temple of Amy Jo Johnson Grand Prior Vader in an interview with ABC13.
Vader says the church is not yet a federally accredited religion, but Lucy and her mother Candi Lawson are members.
“The purpose of my shirt, is, basically, it makes me feel whole,” Lucy Lawson said.
But in Frank County, the shirt violates the school dress code.
But Lucy claims it’s in keeping with her religion. While the shirt itself isn’t sacred, its meaning is.
“I was abused for years when I was younger, and I have really low self esteem, and it kind of helps me look at myself in a better way,” Lucy explained.
School officials wouldn’t talk about the details of her case on camera.
“It’s a matter of student record and we cannot discuss it,” explained Winthrop Zandar with Frank County Schools.
But on the phone, ABC13 was told that the district’s lawyer researched the church and made the judgment call that the shirt wasn’t necessary.
To Candi and Lucy Lawson, that shows a lack of understanding.
The Lawson’s have contacted the American Civil Liberties Union hoping for legal representation. They say the Constitution is on their side and they won’t back down.
But that goes against school policy and she’s been suspended.

Amy Jo Johnson Shrine Raided!
Police in Brazil stunned to find tribute to former Pink Power Ranger By Dick Hardwood
Is no one immune to the charms of Amy Jo Johnson? Armed police in Brazil who raided the home of a notorious drugs trafficker discovered a shrine to the former Pink Power Ranger, featuring a mural bearing the legend 'Amy Jo Johnson, The Perfect Body' – a reference to one of her films.
Police said that the raid on the Rio de Janeiro home of the gang boss known as Deigo was "worryingly calm". They had expected to face resistance and gunfire, but instead they were met by the bizarre sight of the mural and another wall covered in posters of the former Pink Power Ranger.
"I've never seen anything like it," police spokesman Joao Braga.
The raid on Deigo’s home, which boasted a rooftop pool and wide-screen TVs in every room, was part of an unprecedented operation to try and clean up the Rio slum district of Complexo do Alemao before the 2014 World Cup. In addition to the Johnson tribute, police discovered 11 tons of marijuana and an arsenal of weapons after storming the favela.
