Something that may piss off absolutely everyone here...

I found this on another Forum that I am a part of, and felt it needed to be put here as well, as I think I can safely assume everyone here is a fan of Anime. Warning: you may get very pissed off at this guy.

To my knowlage, these things don't actually do anything. For the most part, they rile people up for no reason. I've seen thousands of these things, and none of them are taken seriously. I'm not about to waste my energy on someone's ignorance.

You may be right, but it still makes me angry.

While taking offense at some base lavel at the stupidity of this guy, it's not something I think we need to be worried about.

Point: the total portion of the population who even knows what anime is isn't all that big, and the subset of those who take an active dislike to it is minuscule. The crowd that wants to ban things for no good reason has plenty to sate itself with before it gets to anime.

Point: Even if there were a major campaign to ban anime, the legal hurdles involved would be enormous. Twice they've tried to put decency standards on the Internet, without passing the courts. Nice, private DVDs or VHSes are pretty tough to do.

Point: Even if a legal challenge is to be mounted, it's not going to come from an online petition, particularly one which conveeeeeniently doesn't have any names. An excellent essay on the topic: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.htm.

Conclusion: The creator of this petition is just trying to get under the skin of anime fans. A troll who doesn't even care to make the effort of annoying people "in person."

Remanded to the dustbin of stupid website.

This guy just wants to piss off people. See the trolls that appear on gamefaqs. this guy probebly has no life and only wants to get people pissed off for his own enjoyment.

Besides, according to SNL: George Bush would be too busy playing his game boy to know what the hell that is.

My thought: Bush would be too busy figuring out commercials that discredit Kerry due to his bids to raise taxes, and also trying to find another country to take over.

Yes, I am anti-bush, and I don't want to insult anyone who likes the president.

*reads online petition*

*blink blink*

*bursts into hysterics*

OMG! That was so funny! Love Hina is about rape? WTF? And children under 18 aren't capable of love? It makes no sense.

...Love Hina-fueled rampages...

Love Hina-fueled? Is Love Hina a drug now?

Oh, that was just too funny. I have to think it as a joke. It's just too great not to. *bookmarks for a depressing day*

Um, when I looked, there were 3873 people who signed it. ^^;; Granted, they're all joke signatures.

....LMFAO.

He even KISSES her, and she appears NAKED. That poor girl must be so confused

oh NO! Someone got..NAKED. And....no..he...he kissed her? THE HUMANITY!

I wonder if this Christian Petition writer ever plans on having children. If so, I wonder how they plan on reproducing without kissing or removing any clothing?

groups of young men on Love Hina-fueled rampages are raping children at a level unheard of since the 60s.

Last I checked, it was ONE MAN living with a group of WOMEN. So..it's those evil women that are raping the MAN! THOSE SEX-FIEND BITCHES!

we don't need this Japanese filth corrupting the hearts of the children

A little racist, are we?

As a resonsible Christian, I demand to see this garbage removed from our nation. Please sign this petition and send it to George Bush, your Congressman, and the makers/distributors of anime filth and depravity.

Yes, becuase everybody knows that the President of the United States has nothing better to do than to make sure a number of cartoons are removed from our television sets. And why on earth would the makers and distributors get rid of it? They're making money off of it, you moron.

That didn't piss me off in the slightest. It made me laugh, because this person is ridiculously ignorant and just plain doesn't WANT to learn about anime. Eh, stuff like this is merely caused to stir up trouble, and nothing will ever come of it.

Look at the signatures, people. They're either sarcastic or people outright bashing the petition writer. The one by George W. Bush cracks me up. This is either an obvious joke, or totally not working. Either way, it makes me grin.

This is obviously a fluke from some guy who probably obsesses over Spongebob Squarepants.

Anime is a growing industry in America. Like hell they would shut it down. They won't even ban tobacco in America even though it causes severe health problems. In a capitalist nation like the US, as long as large masses of revenue are generated, everyone is happy. Plus anime in the action sense is really no different from Marvel and DC shows. Go read some comics of American publications such as GI-JOE and The Punisher. They are just as unorthadox if not more as any anime that this guy disapproves of.

Banning anime wouldn't do any good anyways. Remember the prohibition period back in the 20s when people made their own bootlegged alcohol right out of the bathtub and sold it in speakeasys and whatnot? How about when they banned abortion in the 70s and people were having abortions done in the back of dark allys with only a RUSTED COAT HANGER. I'm sure people just be buying and selling fansubs if anime were banned, like they have been doing but at a more rapid pace.

Ok. I now have near-proof that this is just a big joke. Besides the sheer absurdity and the countless fallacies, there is a very large clue. Scroll to the bottom of the page. See the legal stuff? See the author's name? See how it's a link to e-mail him? What's his e-mail address?

Spoiler for those too lazy to enjoy doing that themself. [spoiler][email protected][/spoiler]

Now, why on earth would anyone have an e-mail address with that in it? Notice how that word also keeps popping up in the signatures, too. It's definitely a joke.

*grin* It's exactly as Parakisu pointed out. He and I were so taken with the hilarity of the situation...he figured it out, and I cracked up.

*Points at everybody who fell for it, including herself* Heh. Heh heh. We suck.

lol, reminds me of the ONE FLAME that Clere Crystal received on her Anti-DiC site, from THE REAL SERENA.

LMAO I remember that. There's a reply from me on that site. *proud*

I signed the petition. I don't remember exactly what I said, but it's something like "Great joke! This made my day!"

They even admitted it was a joke a while back. I signed it with a comment along the lines of "ohhh no you don't".

some of the stuff in the signatures on that is classic... XD

...they are pod people. My book tell me that's how all christians were made.

I remember seeing this and laughing at it a while ago. Petitions mean nothing to me if they are online, so I never take them seriously. This is an example of why. ^_^

Parallax, it's a joke. We established that already.

Edit: Ok, I thought I had read every post and was adding something different. It seems I crossed the line and I apologize for that. I'll triple check posts before I post next time.

Post by **Tiff** » Wed Apr 14, 2004 7:46 pm

THIS IS GOING TO BE SAID ONE LAST TIME BEFORE I START WARNING PEOPLE.

It. Is. A. Joke. We've established that. It's admitted it's a joke. The email address proves it's a joke. People, please read all of the damn posts.
