Things We Saw Today: Game Of Thrones Dragons Get Revenge On The NY Times

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:02 pm, February 25th, 2013


Surfing the web today you might have noticed HBO took out huge, site-spanning advertisements for Season 3 of Game of Thrones which featured the shadow of a dragon passing over the page. Well here’s the still version of that from today’s NY Times. (I’m gonna say it’s revenge for this.)We sell ad space here on The Mary Sue but this is one I would have paid to have on the site. (via Co.Create) 

  • Have you ever wondered how Bed, Bath & Beyond keep their towels folded so perfectly? They don’t. It’s totally a scam. Take a look at what we mean at The Frisky.
  • Did you notice the Life of Pi visual effects winners getting played off by the Jaws theme last night on the Oscars? That’s actually more messed up than you think it is. At the same time, over 400 people were outside the theater protesting You can read more about it at Geekosystem, The Guardian, VFX Soldier, and the #vfxprotest or #vfxunited hashtags on twitter.

Yes. (via When Geeks Wed)

    Thank you so much for commenting on the visual effects protest, far too many media outlets have ignored us outright.

    Seriously! I only just found out because one of my friends works in VFX.

    Ugh, I got the feeling that they purposely were cutting out something important there… Real classy Hollywood.

    GoT is my favorite current show, and dragons are my favorite thing, but I those ads really irritate me. I guess getting back at the Times is worth it, though.
