The creators of The Scottish Ninjas™ just finished an interview for The Noob News podcast.  We discussed the origin of the cartoon, production, and future of the show.  Thanks to the fact that this was a phone-in interview, we were able to avoid being pepper sprayed and tossed out by security.  Which is our usual send off.

For those of you who don’t know, The Noob News is an entertainment podcast/blog hosted by Richard Watson and Christian Cisneros.  Be sure to check it out!

The podcast will be online this Friday.

Great Scot International, the sole US importer of Irn-Bru, are fans of the Scottish Ninjas™ and asked if we’d be interested in being brand ambassadors of Irn-Bru soda. It’s no secret that Lachlan, Aidan and Finn are true fans of Irn-Bru, and so are your humble creators… and not being ashamed of being total whores, we answered “um…Hell yeah!”

For those of you who don’t know, Irn-Bru (pronounced Iron Brew) is the #1 soda in Scotland (Coke being 2nd).  Irn-Bru is sold throughout the United Kingdom and even the world.  Containing 32 fruit flavors, It’s a little hard to describe the taste, making it a truly unique drink.

A Scottish Ninja tip, (for those of legal age) add vodka as the magical 33rd flavor, and you have yourself a fantastic little bevvie known as a “Muscle-Man”!  Once you’ve tried it, it’ll come as no surprise that Irn-Bru is wildly popular in Russia. If it’s good enough for Putin, it’s good enough for us! Ok, we don’t really know if Vladimir Putin drinks Irn Bru, but for a guy that is a Kung-fu master who fights forest fires and tigers…how could he not drink the stuff?!

Irn-Bru is also legendary for it’s powers as a hangover cure, so what giveth also taketh away.

Irn-Bru’s innovative and sometimes controversial marketing campaigns make them a perfect fit with the comedy stylings of the Scottish Ninjas™

We’ll be highlighting some of ads on the site AND with our rather large cache of liquid delight, you can expect to see some Irn-Bru fueled prize packs available.

We are proud to announce that Scottish Ninjas™ will be playing at this year’s Maelstrom International Fantastic Film Festival.  MIFFF is the premier Pacific Northwest weekend long event devoted towards independent and international genre film making.
