Robert Downey Jr Giving Out FREE ROBOT ARMS!!

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!! In a world where we often have cause to use phrases like "those rotten bastards" (often) and the Invader Zim screaming standard "LIES!! ALL LIES!!!" ...it's nice to be able to form a sentence that begins and ends with a simple, happy, pleasing sentiment. Here it comes. Robert Downey Jr is a swell guy. When super hero Albert Manero; a #CollectiveProject student who founded the fantastic, instant tear-inducing group called "Limbitless..whose sole purpose is to quite literally GIVE LIMBS to kids who have none; put out the call for support of his group, i'll bet he never dreamed the man waiting in the wings to give a helping had was actually a comic book character. Enter....Tony Stark; volatile fictional millionaire super hero played by real-life-millionaire super hero Robert Downey Jr, who took time out of his busy schedule of pressing the press flesh for Avengers 2: Age of Ultron to slip in to his Tony persona and present a little boy with a bionic arm. Cue picture of the guy from Scanners with his head exploding and gather your tissues. This is EXACTLY what we needed this morning.

Robert Downey Jr Signed for Avengers 2 and 3

There were plenty of rumors surrounding this news. My favorite, and most plausible, was that Robert Downey Jr was a bit disgusted with the pay his Avengers co-stars were getting, so he used a re-negotiation to get them a better rate. Whatever the truth behind the story may me, one thing is for certain today. ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS IRON MAN!! ...at least for 2 more movies.
