@tim_nolan introduced us to The Fist of Oblivion, a bizarre web series directed by Roman Coppola for Scion Broadband.

Scion Broadband, a lifestyle content network targeted to young, thrifty and image-conscious drivers, launched in 2006. We didn’t realize it was still kicking.

And while it’s hard to go wrong with muppets, kung-fu and mobsters, we’re glad there’s a place where Scion’s ad folk can potentially still express its creativity.

Research suggests the reason some older adults resist therapy isn’t stubbornness or pride, it’s that the entire framework — sitting with a stranger, narrating your pain, expecting validation — contradicts everything their generation was taught about strength, and asking them to do it feels less like help and more like asking them to betray the operating system that kept them alive
