The greatest case of canon denial ever continues, complete with hilariously bad attempts at nitpicking a foreign language by someone who clearly doesn't know a single lick about it (against who *does*).

Oh OT, your fail never ceases to amaze.

Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Hardly the worst of the bunch, that link.  I don't even really see what's so bad about it.

Perhaps you should work on your English grammar before dictating to others about Japanese grammar.

I like how totally relevant those facts are.  HEY GUYS YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH VERY WELL THAT ENTIRELY INVALIDATES YOUR LANGUAGE SKILLS WITH A LANGUAGE THAT USES COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SYNTAX BASE FOR ITS GRAMMAR.

I dunno, I think I prefer his rebuttal of "So?  He's just one of the authors.  Just because he thinks that's what happened doesn't mean it did."

If this were professional art, that would be a valid argument (because artists can be coy or cagey about what their art means).  It still is, kinda.  Whenever you have a situation where you have a collaborative work, there is a possibility that creators may disagree.  If the show, the actual content we're talking about, left something vague, I say leave it at that.

People take out of media what they believe based on what's apparent.  You don't even have to believe Dumbledore's gay if you really don't want to.  Not like it was ever clear in the book.

Sure, but this is more along the lines of "Rowling just meant he was happy!"

Oh yeah, this is just theoretical.  I don't bother reading gamefaqs idiocy, but I'll take your word for it he's an idiot.

Code Geass.

Oh, Code Geass is some kind of art alright... There's got to be some merit involved in creating something that infuriating yet somehow watchable...

Or so you'd like to think.  Still, character designs are by CLAMP, and they are undoubtedly artists, and I would argue they're good ones (not for Code Geass, mind, but Clover, X, Cardcaptor Sakura manga are all quality) so I guess it qualifies.

EDIT: Art quality.  Not touching plot, so set down the torches. (though in the 3 I mentioned, I wouldn't think there'd be much objectionable about the plot either, as long as you consider that other shows you might think are using that stale old plotline are ripoffs of X.  Anyway.  God, I'm equivocal.)

I'm sure everyone has heard tales from Jim and I about a kid named Seth we went to college with. He was THAT GUY.

Well, if you were really wondering what Seth was like, watch this video.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5065474003958956052

Basically, thats Seth in all his self-deluded glory, minus the being full blown psychotic and adding over the top patheticness and perversion with social ineptitude. The stuff about being a samurai could honestly have come straight from Seth's mouth though.

...

Woman asks police to search her laptop because she suspected her ex-boyfriend had been searching for child pornography on it.  Police find pornography, all right: 2 videos of her having sex with her dog.

You can't make that shit up.

I'm trying not to be too overtly political in IotD, but Rep. Michelle Bachmann leaves me no choice.

As this blogger notes, Bachmann had some tough questions today for Bernanke and Geithner that they never gave a proper answer to: "where," as the blogger puts it, "in the Constitution did they get the power to rape the American taxpayer as they did, and continue to do?"

And boy were they evasive, pointing to all those laws Congress wrote that granted them authority, but ultimately skirting the question of where congress gets the authority to do so.  C'mon, dudes.  Article one.

...she knows that, right?  I mean, she's just playing dumb.  right?

Stupidity or genuinely adorable?

I'm not quite sure. Yes, it's three days old, sue me, but I had totally forgotten about this for a while. Man, 12-year-olds impregnating 14-year-olds would've been shocking news, I'm glad it's only been changed to 13- or 16-year-olds impregnating 14-year-olds!

Exactly like it says. I'm not a dedicated global warming enthusiast or anything like that, but this made me bang my head against my desk.
