I had to laugh at that Austar scan. They've quoted a verse from the 80s series at the end and they've got it wrong:

When there's danger nearby,
No matter who, what, when, where or why
He'll defend us, he'll defend us,
The amazing Astro Boy!


It's the version that's been floating around on various Astro sites for years and no one's bothered to check if it's right or not!

The correct version is:

When there's danger nearby,
No matter who, what, where, when or why
He will defend us, he'll befriend us,
The amazing Astroboy!


But I'm pedantic like that. :D

I think the reason no-one bothered 'bout the correct writing of the lines is a phonetic
problem.
No matter who, what, when, where or why
He'll defend us, he'll defend us,

No matter who, what, where, when or why
He will defend us, he'll befriend us

Both verses sound similar :P .

Yeah that really ticked me off :S For some reason a lot of people have problems hearing the words in that song.... i know i did for awhile as a kid - for examples "oh villians fear him , so we cheer him" i went to about 20 Astro sites and they ALL said "so we cheer him so we cheer him" I might not have known what the real words were but i listened as hard as i could and i knew for sure those weren't it ^^;

....
Stupid cookies! I want my own computer back >_<

I'll be getting that article off my boyfriend tmr so i can scan then like i promised. But for now more interesting news.

I JUST got the Foxtel mag for next month. Not scanning now cause i can't be stuffed and besides there isn't much we haven't seen before. Has a little section (quarter of a page) in the beginning of the mag where they talk about stuff for the month with the pic of him flying and an 80's series type description giving the showing time on Cartoon Network.

Absolutely fantastic is that it is at 5:35pm AND 9:35pm each weekday so if you work or get home late (like me from Uni ^^ ;) and don't have a VCR that can be set you can still watch it ^__^

Second thing is rigth at the back of the mag (checked every page front to back) it mentions a competition Cartoon Network are running:

"Watch the Cartoon Network premiere of Astro Boy this month and you could win a family holiday to recharge your batteries. Plus, there are hundreds of other fabulous prizes up for grabs, including hard to find Astro Boy singlets, plush toys, key rings and more.

"Simply watch Astro Boy weekdays at 5:35pm (premiering March 29) to collect clues to locations where Astro Boy can recharge his batteries then log on to register your answer on http://www.cartoonnetwork.com.au. The viewer with the highest battery level wins, so the more you watch, the more chances you have to win. Keep your eyes on the channel or http://www.cartoonnetwork.com.au this month to find out more about the exciting arrival of the brave, gentle and wise Astro Boy and competition details"

YAY a competition i can finally enter ^^_____^^ (being in Australia). Hehe i'm gonna watch/tape the 5:35pm and rewatch it at 9:35pm everyday ^__^ I hope i get to win some merchandise ^_^ :D
