It’s the 186th edition of Social Blend, and for this show we’re joined by the legendary Lee Garnett aka nComment and the Bacon Queen herself, Amy Vernon. After a long wait, Lee’s epic nComment comic WAR, which focused on the war between Digg and Reddit, has finally reached its conclusion with its third chapter. We discuss the release of the comic, the development, and what’s next for Lee and his comic series.

It’s time to catch up with the West Memphis Three again this week, with the release of Paradise Lost 3 on HBO, and Peter Jackson releasing the trailer for his WM3 documentary, West Of Memphis. Meanwhile, dominating the web this week was the Blackout Protest across the internet against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA) – we take a look at the protests from sites such as Wikipedia and Reddit, and discuss latest developments in the War of the Internet!

Jumping into entertainment news we discuss the latest Star Wars news, and we close out the show with our regular segments, looking at ridiculous “end of the world” stories in the Countdown to the Gutsfuck of Humanity, and our WTF stories of the week. All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend!
