Hi. I'm the Contributing Editor for Mania in charge of DVD. Will that soon sound like I'm in charge of Betamax or Pong? I ramble. You read.

Big Mania merger

Well, as you may have heard by now, all those rumors turned out to be true: as of this week, Mania Entertainment will be the new owners of Google.

We don't have the exact figures, but all sources point to the fact that the multibillion dollar merger was anything but consentual. What really matters is that for the month of April, both Mania and Google.com will shut down, and be "under construction" until May's launch of the new GoogleMania.com, which we feel will be the top pop culture and search engine website in the world.

So good luck to all involved, and please come back to check out our new look ad features next month!

Cheers!

Hmm... I think a better one would have been a merger with Fox or even just IGN. This report just seems a bit too over the top.

More ads mean higher pay rates for freelancers, right?
