I was browsing along the internet, and then I came along this...
http://www.petitiononline.com/cutiepie/petition.html Yes, its a petition to BAN ANIME. I don't know why they are doing this...here's a example on why anime shoud be banned...
Now, I don't know what they're trying to say mostly because its a bunch of BULLSHIT!!! (sorry for the cussing) Please, let's all ban together and remove this useless petition!!! (In my opinion, that statement made AMG and Love Hina sound like porno flims rather than anime, and from watching both of them, they have some hentai moments (like the hot spring scenes and others) but not enough to support this statement. This is one reason why this petition is useless.) |

You don't actually believe that piece of crap, do you?
It's obviously a joke. Heck, look at the e-mail address of the creator. |

I've seen less BS at manure packaging plants.
[sarcasm]While we're at it, let's ban war movies since they might offend veterans. And let's ban video games for corrupting our youth! Down with the Japanese! [/sarcasm] |

Wait, is this in response to that thing I wrote in the other thread?
This is precisely one of the specific pages I was alluding to. Was "spoof", "tongue-in-cheek", and "fake" not quite clear enough? Quoth Elaine Benes, "Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!" I'll say it slowly: "Faaaaayyyhhhh-kkkuuuhhh!" I know some anime fans take this thing at face value, because I've put "ban anime" into search engines and read their blogs, but... erm, it's self-evidently over-the-top.
Obviously, that isn't true and you're not meant to get anything more than a chuckle from that sentence. |

Ahahaha. That was some funny shi---stuff.
Those responses were ridiculous. Where was AMG hentai-ish? I'm confused, I don't rememeber it. |

The scary thing is... I'm not sure if this petition is a joke. It's on petitiononline.com after all. If there are people out there who want to ban videogames I'm willing to believe that there are also people who would want to see anime banned. This petition kind of reminds me of some of the posts in the "Scary things that can happen in the industry" thread. Anyway what a load of bullshit.

AMG is never really hentai-ish, at least not the anime (some of the stuff in the manga borders on hentai, but stops before it reaches that point)... maybe the scenes in episode two with Urd are a little risqué, but it never gets dirty nor is anyone ever naked.
But, like I said, the petition is a joke... whomever wrote it is making fun of the overreaction some people have against anime (though the overreaction itself is largely a myth... very few of the anti-pop culture backlash groups have taken any notice of anime besides Pokémon and the like, and the Focus on the Family articles on anime are ancient). |

In terms of actually getting anything done, *any* petition on Petition.com is a joke, but this one is obviously not meant to be taken at face value either. |

Oh I know that. And I agree it's probably a joke. |

Oh, I remember now. Yeah, the manga might have bordered on it, especially when Urd first show up. |

*This rant is my opinion, so, anyone who doesn't like me, or who doesn't care either way, cover your ears or eyes.*
Anime is not the only cause of this 'moral decay'. From what I've seen and heard this has been going on for a while now, and it can't be from anime. Anime still isn't main stream enough to do that. Now, they said that anime is a 'perverse, evil, insiduous form of animation'. With this in mind, if it is perverse, then what about all the sex related humor in todays movies. Sure, this is true, but why go after just solely anime for 'corrupting America's youth'? Sure, many people may see this as a problem, but, the movies have a much bigger influence on these kids, much more then anime has. Now, adding to what they said about the 'dark land of Japan'. If it's such a 'dark' place, then why does a lot of stuff say "Made in Japan" on it? If they say Japan is a 'dark' place, this should be a petition to ban all the stuff from this 'dark' place. But, it's not.
This is a bad example. This person probably hasn't seen a certain Sailor Moon movie. If they think that's bad, then they haven't seen any of the hentai or anything like that. Ah! My Goddess! is sugar, especially compared to the other stuff out there. This is quite funny when they say this, 'which causes children under the age of 18 to think they are capable of love.' That's a joke, so does that mean that kids are incapable of loving their parents, because from what I understand of that, they say that kids can't love anyone. But, love is funny thing, it strikes when you least expect it. I'm in love, and I'm 15, does that means it's fake? I don't know, seems very real to me. Now with the whole 'forcing' Belldandy, she seemed to be doing fine with it in the show, in fact, it looks like she's having a nice time in general. So, if she were being 'forced', wouldn't she be miserable and not fall in love with Keiichi? Belldandy isn't under 18, in fact, she's well over it, I can't put an exact age on it, but, isn't Belldandy thousands of years old or something to that extent? And the whole 'kisses' thing in caps is quite funny, with Belldandy being over 18, what's the big deal? Lots of movies show kissing scenes, nothing new. 'She appears naked', was also a funny bit. How many movies today show nudity in it that kids see? How many kids under 18 watch porn? Lots. Also, if just showing up naked freaked them out, wonder what they'd say about full blown sex scenes.
Oh, just think of how many people would end up in jail because of this. They'd have to build more jails for this! And what are they going to do with little kids that are five years old?! Are they going to throw them in jail too? Or, are they going to throw the parents in? And if 'anime is a dark scourge upon our beautiful nation', then look at some of the stuff that's out there that is bad and that is American spawned. Other stuff corrupts kids too, it's not just one thing that does it.
This is very true, that's what Ah! My Goddess! is about. Now, take a look at some of the t.v., there's a show that's about sex! And they aren't mentioning this at all?! What gives?!
This is right as well. But, the whole statue of David is considered art by everyone, therefore, no one cares. But, most people think of anime as just a cartoon, and not as art. But, with the way the U.S. is going today, many parents aren't that good and blame others for letting their kid watch something. Banning anime would be like banning Disney, it doesn't make sense, and when you think about it, it's down right silly. Think about the alcohol ban in the 1920's, that didn't last long because people were still drinking it and getting drunk, even if it was illegal. If this were to happen, people are going to do the same thing and keep watching anime, keep posting here, and keep buying the DVDs, manga, toys, soundtracks, and all the other good stuff. |

You...DO realize this petition is a fake, right? Not to mention online petitions have a long, long history of falling on deaf ears, anyway.
