British Hackers Love Yo Gabba Gabba!


It looks like Yo Gabba Gabba is hitting the UK harder than we thought. Yesterday, some hackers broke into the Scotland Yard recruiting website and posted a picture of Kidrobot's Brobee doll with the following message attached:
Officer Brobee sez: Oh HAI Guys do joo wanna bes a policeman lulz? I see that the so 15 anti-terrorism anti-lutz police are hiring more incompetent nervy edgy sociopaths to make London’s streets just a little bit safer! OH LULZ.

SHOUTS TO 10g1kal for being such a leet dude and to LULKITTEH for being so fancy
While we at Yo Gabba Gabba absolutely deny having anything to do with this and do not condone internet vandalism, we do think it's pretty funny.

Here's a link to the original news story. and here's another one.

Newsweek Interviews Biz!!

Check out this interview I just stumbled across Newsweek's relatively long interview Mr. Biz Markie on his involvement with (and love for) Yo Gabba Gabba. Biz says: "I really want to be the black Mr. Rogers, that's my goal. I would do everything the same, but with a hip-hop feel to it." Gotta love the Biz.
