Elon Musk is right about the Twitter bot problem.

   You may have heard the news that Elon Musk backed out of his purchase of Twitter due to Twitter not disclosing the amount of bot accounts there are. Elon Musk is right about there being a bot problem. Twitter will deny that there is a bot problem but it seems like almost every day I have to #InstaBLOCK a bot that follows me. 

  Every day I almost have to block some kind of bot that follows me. It seems I get all of the hot lady bots to follow me. I'm dead serious about this. I can spot a bot just by the name. Usually these "Hot Lady" Bots have a really random name and user name. The names make zero sense whatsoever. They usually have 3 or 4 tweets of pictures of the supposed person. I think these images are stolen because they are never the same person. 

  Another good indicator that they are a bot is if they "Liked" any tweets. If they haven't liked a tweet they are a bot. Want another indicator? Check the tweet source. Usually these Hot Women bots "tweet" from the desktop website of Twitter. It will say Twitter Web App. That's a bot there bucko. Also a lot of these bots have some sort of Percentage in their twitter bio saying that they are the top some percent of whatever. 

  Sure these bots seem harmless but they piss me off. Instead of being genuine followers, they are totally fake as a fake Rolex. I wasn't born yesterday, I'm not naive. I know a bot when I see one. Every time my phone gives me a notification, it can mean two things, Somebody gave me a DM on Instagran or someone followed me on Twitter. When it's Twitter I'm like oh shit here we go again. So far I've blocked about 38 of these hot women bots. I give em the old James Woods #InstaBLOCK treatment. Its a major annoyance to see bots every two seconds. 

  I forgot to mention that these bots tweet everything in one day and then stop when they are done tweeting their stolen images. 

It's Been 26 Long Years

Back in 1995 when Batman Forever came out, I was literally obsessed with the movie. I loved the movie and the action figures. However 26 years ago, my Mom wouldn't buy me this epic 2 pack. Literally every time I saw Guardians of Gotham City in a store. I begged my Mom to buy it for me. She never budged at my request to own movie accurate Batman and Robin figures. Seriously who wouldn't want to own movie accurate Batman and Robin figures? Oddly enough she did buy me The Riddler and Two-Face 2 pack that Kenner made. I still to this day have no idea why she wouldn't buy this for me.

So as time went by, this 2 pack had eluded me. The online prices were beyond my price range. They are pricey because you guessed it, they are movie accurate Batman and Robin figures. Speaking of expensive, the Guardians of Gotham City 2 pack from Batman & Robin from 1997 is insanely expensive and for some reason rare. I have no idea why the 1997 one is so rare but that one also has movie accurate Batman and Robin figures.

  Over time I did some online shopping every now and then looking for these two figures that my Mom wouldn't buy me. The ones that were out there on average is around  $50. I'm not paying $50 for something. I wouldn't drop that on a Hot Wheels car. So about a week ago I was browsing eBay for Guardians of Gotham City and found one with a starting bid of $24.90 plus free shipping. So I placed a max bid of $30 and somehow I won the auction at $30. I guess I'm pretty lucky enough to win one for less than the average asking price. I was so excited that I finally won them.

  Anyway they arrived on Monday and I couldn't wait to free them from their plastic and cardboard prison. I did snap a some pics of it MOC to post to Instagram and to a DC figure thread on an action figure forum that I belong to. I got a lot of likes on my Kenner figures that I have been posting lately. I'm so glad that I never got this 2 pack as a child because they probably would have been got rid of when I moved. I actually gave away all of my Movie figures that I owned from Batman & Robin. I kind of regret getting rid of those figures but I am slowly rebuilding my Kenner Batman Collection. I used to have an Iceboard Robin figure from Batman & Robin. That figure is a movie accurate Robin figure. Unfortunately I gave it away, so I'm hunting for a new one at a decent price.

  Speaking of Guardians of Gotham City 2 Packs, the one from 1997 is somewhat expensive and hard to come by. These 2 figures were also movie accurate attires. I have no idea why the 1997 version is so rare and expensive, and I would like to know why it is. Batman & Robin is the worst Batman movie. If the movie is so bad, why are the toys so expensive?
