Bush banning anime from the USA!, a rumor and letter from the undersigned Options

[techniasymphony]

I was at my friend's xanga just earlier and found this post about Bush banning Anime forever from the United States of America. Some moron who disguised his/her name as "The Undersigned" as written a letter to the President demanding him to BAN ANIME FROM THE STATES. Here's the letter:

To: George Bush

Here in America, we live in a climate of moral decay. What is the cause of this? It is called "anime". Anime is a perverse, evil, insiduous form of animation from the dark land of Japan, and is corrupting America's youth at unprecedented rates. Here are a few examples of anime which are circulating on the Internet and may very well be in your home:

1) Ah My Goddess: A sick and disgusting show which causes children under the age of 18 to think they are capable of love. The main female character is clearly under 18, and is forced into a romantic relationship by an older man who "wishes" for her to be his girlfriend forever. He even KISSES her, and she appears NAKED. That poor girl must be so confused.

2) Love Hina: I'm not even going to mention the unspeakable, disgusting, pedophilic, pornograhpic events which transpire during this show, but suffice it to say, groups of young men on Love Hina-fueled rampages are raping children at a level unheard of since the 60s.

If you are a parent or a decent human being, I urge you to sign this petition to ban all forms of anime in the United States. Anyone who is found in possesion of anime should be arrested and jailed for an exhorbant period of time. Anime is a dark scourge upon our beautiful nation, and we don't need this Japanese filth corrupting the hearts of the children.

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.

Do the right thing.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

You all love Anime, right? And want to watch it forever in your local USA stations? If so, please save it!!! SIGN THE PETITION....

Sign the Petition

yeah, theres no way in HELL this will ever happen. one the reason ;and i hate to say this is anime is like porn.....it's big business.
and Bush is always been about helping out big business. which leads to if he did ban anime he would have to ban porn and any other forms of sex and violent (al la video games...god forbid) as well.
plus look at some the cartoons in the states now. like Teen Titans (which i love) and the Justice League. has anyone seen those shows. they violent as hell. and kids getting in to fights and getting beat up by grown ups no less on those shows.
those shows were frown upon in the mid to late 90's because people were trying to do away with violent cartoons. and the 80's was full of them like G.I. Joe,He-Man,She-Ra, ThunderCats and Transformers.
the only reason cartoons like Teen Titans and Justice League are popping up is because cartoons here in the states can't compete with anime. they have to step it up.
it's all about big bussiness. plus what the viewer wants to see. before anime became as big as it was it was heavly an underground thing in fact FCC banned for a short time in the early 90's.
but so many people here wanted it, so there was no choice but to bring it over.
but sadly to say, most anime that make it to the states on tv is water down. ALOT! (thank god for DVD ) but we still have it cause it's the people's choice.
and i think ; if this letter is real, it's written by some bible thumping control freak christian who doesn't know jack about anime.

which in no way am i dissing christian. hell i'm one (not a good one mind you ). but it's the "bible thumper" ones you need to watch out for. in their minds if it's not by the bible and god's law. it's against the bible and god's law.
like anyhing. you take from you see and hear what you chose to see and hear.
like if this person watched Naruto or Chrono Crusade she or he would say "that's evil, lil kids being abused, there always weapons being used. there demons in this show. HEATHENS YOUR ALL SINNNERS AND HEATHENS"
but i've seen these shows and i see nothing but morals and the truth about friendship and what's worth fighting for.
still to end my rant, bush couldn't stop anime in this country if he tried. and if he did it would've had happen on he's re-election run. everyone knows all the good stuff gets attack around that time (al la video games)
which if the next person who's running, wants to try to ban anime; i say go for it. and see if he'll get alot people's votes. almost half this country watches anime now. hell my mom watches it and she's close to 50.
