&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;No, we haven’t gone back to our deep love of brick-by-brick animation so perfectly executed by the Guardian’s website during the Summer Olympics.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This is animation by the wildly creative hands over at the Taiwan-based NMA.tv&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Anchors Jen and Vanessa write: “With us, news is sexy, eye-popping and fun. Come here for a lively point of view on global politics, entertainment, sports and more!”&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Which, interestingly enough, lands on the current labor dispute between the NHL and its players. (Still trying to think what is sexy and eye-popping about cost-containment and escrow).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;But NMA.tv has an animated look at the mess, often funny and at times slightly creepy.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Just call it another crossover success for the NHL, landing on a website with videos about obese avatars and the New York Yankees.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-josh-morgan-redskins-20120917,0,5037231.story”&amp;gt;Josh Morgan’s mindless penalty costs &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a class=”taxInlineTagLink” href=”https://www.latimes.com/topic/sports/football/washington-redskins-ORSPT000226.topic”&amp;gt;Redskins&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/football/nfl/la-sp-farmer-nfl-week-2-20120917,0,7160664.column”&amp;gt;It’s Week 2 but things are already out of place in the NFL&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-nfl-officials-20120917,0,5627005.story”&amp;gt;Document details what locked-out NFL officials are seeking&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
