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.

"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
