Animax Entertainment Launches Fake Arnold Schwarzenegger Blog, Vlog and Podcast at ArnoldSpeaks.com

Beverly Hills, CA January 8, 2007 – Animax Entertainment http://www.animaxent.com, an Emmy Award winning animation studio, today announced the launch of ArnoldSpeaks.com http://www.ArnoldSpeaks.com, a satirical blog, vlog and animated podcast featuring a comedic take on Arnold Schwarzenegger.

ArnoldSpeaks.com is written from the perspective of California Governor and action movie celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger. The star of Terminator and former Mr. Universe has opinions about many subjects, with some being more ridiculous than others. Much like the popular fake Steve Jobs blog http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/, ArnoldSpeaks.com envisions what the presidential hopeful and husband of Maria Shriver might be thinking about and lets fans connect with him directly.

ArnoldSpeaks.com highlights Schwarzenegger’s thoughts on weighty subjects such as politics, religion, race, gender, current events, capitol punishment and sexuality as well as lighter topics like pop culture, celebrities, movies, his favorite color, his thoughts on robots and other ephemera. Meant for a mature audience, not only does Schwarzenegger post text blog posts on ArnoldSpeaks.com but he also speaks directly to his audience in a vlog through animated videos which can also be downloaded as a podcast.

The RSS feed for ArnoldSpeaks.com is available at http://feeds.feedburner.com/ArnoldSpeaks/. The ArnoldSpeaks.com podcast – which is labeled Explicit since Schwarzenegger can get very animated about certain issues – is available for download via http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=204934794 at iTunes.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is voiced by the Emmy winning actor Dave Thomas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Thomas_%28actor%29, who first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian comedy series SCTV, where he portrayed, among other characters, "Doug" of Bob and Doug McKenzie, with Bob played by Rick Moranis.

The vlog posts and podcast are animated by Animax Entertainment using Adobe Flash. Animax Entertainment recently won the first ever broadband Emmy Award for an animated series it produces for ESPN.com called “Off-Mikes.”
