An email has been going around urging people to sign
this petition:
To: George Bush
Some people are signing against anime and are calling is to be a "perverse, evil, insiduous form of animation from the dark land of Japan, and is corrupting America's youth at unprecedented rates." Anime is NOT corrupting the youth of America, and since when has America become a country of Christians? Isn't there a SEPARATION of Church and State? Isn't this a ban on our Freedom of Speech? And Freedom of Press? What does anime have to do with brainwashing our youth?
Even though I'm not sure what 'signing against anime' is supposed to mean, I do know that there is no movement underfoot by any politician to ban anime. But it's worth scrolling through the messages left by the 4129 people who signed the petition. Some of them are quite amusing.

Want "mature"? Then make faces and motions more realistic! And get rid of that stupid card game carbon copies/tentacle monsters/spiky hair/etc. crap.
FUCK anime. This is why I don't watch Adult Swim on saturdays.
I am a student in a highschool and I am doing a detail paper on the opposing view points on anime. Whether you are against it or love it to bits ,please email me! I would like to interview you! If you send me spam or are immature about it then you will regert it.
my gmail is bellzecat
so dont be so rash when saying or makeing and decision about this cos not all anime has porngraphic scens in them hentai is the cartoon form of porn not anime so theres no point in comenting unless you know what your talking about
and yes i know i cant spell very well and i dont care
You people against anime are against all forms of cartoons. So you might as well want to ban PowerPuff Girls and Dora The Explorer.
And if Japanese CARTOONS bother you so much, then change the channel, turn off the T.V, choose another DVD, download something else, etc... yeesh. It's a person's choice if he/she wants to watch animations from Japan.
And if you complain about the freaky hair and big eyes; then wtf is with the Simpsons; YELLOW SKIN is not normal. The PowerPuff Girls have NO FINGERS and have REALLY BIG EYES.
And even if most anime have perverted scenes; it still won't stop the numerous porn sites, pictures, and videos that literally pop up in front of you (tch, pop-up ads annoy me).
This is such a waste of time, talk about something useful like pollution and global warming. This is like Korea banning Hetalia all over again.
Then you dear sir or madam, have nothing much to do in your life. Read a book, play with your Wii, go to a mall, anything.
This is just sad. Seriously; talk about something that actually MATTERS in life. You're ranting about 2D animations for crying out loud.
I hate Justin Beiber, but though I may have voted to send him to North Korea, I just listen to other music instead of his.
If your boyfriend is one of those guys that laughs at boobs, get over it. He will not change. It is just plain stupid to want to ban something because your boyfriend spend money on swords. Would you rather he did use them to murder people?
You have a simple problems, and banning something because you decided to go out with someone who likes it is just plain retarded. He likes it. It's a hobby. Get over it and move on.
It's not Anime's fault that your boyfriend likes it. Just don''ttouch his shit anymore.
Recently, I receive spams regarding about anime are currently the one who corrupts the mind of the children but what prove could all of you present for the fan of anime? As for the statement above, I would totally agree. ANIME doesn't brainwash the children's mind. If I would say, the film production such as the blockbuster movies and pornography are the ones who brainwashes the children nowadays. Anime is just a reflection of the real movies.
"They (shellfish) shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination." (Leviticus 11:11)
So now you know what those anti anime protestors are and anyone who carrys a sign saying god hates this or burn in hell etc etc.
Anybody else notice that it was mostly the female members of our species complaining about their boyfreind's habits?
Your boyfreind spent money on something he doesn't need, like a Katana? You mean like how you rack up your phone bill posting on face book? And if someone ever breaks in, wouldn't that be more useful than the Butterfly Pictures you bought to decorate the house?
Anime can be educational as well. Axis Powers Hetalia is the only reason I'm passing social studies. A side effect is that I now laugh whenever I see a world map.
The problem with most of these women is that their boyfriend would rather watch Desert Punk alone than watch the Lifetime channel with them. Instead of trying to comprimise and finding something they can both watch, they'd rather take the Soccer Mom approach and destroy everything having to do with it. I'm sure that most of these women would enjoy Ouran Host Club or Fruits Basket, but since they chose to do no more research than read the Wikipedia page (which is wrong on all accounts by the way) they want it dead.
America is actually the fattest and the stupidest country in the world (fact)so your trying to ban anime because your racist against Asians
proof: Hillery Hilton Katy perry and some other b.uls.hit people
... anime isn't all porn acculy 1/4 of it has hentai in it.the rest is really awesome or hilarious and don't put comic or cartoon in the same sentence as anime its kinda revolting its animation and graphic novel. next time know what your talking about.
by the way japan is smarter than America so yaaaaa[]
ps:not bad for a little cannadien ay?
