Danny Choo, I love you and I hate you. You really put together some awesome work on the site, and the CNN profile is certainly amazing. Like mostothers, I never put two and two together in regards to your father (but then again, I really don't know anything about shoes). The piece was definitely an outsider's point of view, but at least they weren't disrespectful to you.
So congrats on this piece, and I hope that you'll get some more appearances on TV that don't necessarily have you dancing around in stormtrooper armor for the mainstay of the piece. Because you're more than that.
And I hate you because you get to spend all that time with the awesome people at Goodsmile, have meetings in their offices, and get tons of free figures from them. That is so not fair. When am I going to get my chance to hang out with all of the awesome figure makers?
