It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.
Jeon Ji Hyun, star of the "well known enough that it's getting a US remake" South Korean film My Sassy Girl was once in a KFC commercial. And the other day I saw this commercial.
After seeing this very, very, very strange advert' . . . I'm now stuck trying to decide if seeing this kind of commercial over here would make me want to eat more KFC or less . . .
. . . seriously, I'm currently leaning towards the former. How messed up is that, hey?
And go look up My Sassy Girl some time. It's quite literally the Korean "Densha Otoko" story that also started on a message board. It's pretty cute, you'll like it. Also, if you don't hurry the only one you'll know about is the US remake (which could be good, but still).
In case it gets missed by people who swing through just here for news: the Vancouver convention, Anime Evolution, got postponed due to a massive scheduling conflict/oversight.
Im sure by now, people have read the post that Adam made about Otaku chat rooms. Like he said, I think this thing is going to need careful, strict moderation. But I know the people at the site can pull it off, there are good otaku on call to make sure people dont fuck it up for the majority.
For some reason, I think political elections go way too far.
And here's why:
People start to become (slightly) racist.
People keep pestering others to vote for someone.
Fights soon errupt.
Too many predjudiced ads in newspapers, Internet, and television.
Now, I know what everyone is going to say. "Just ignore it" or "Who cares?" But, still, I think politics are just an excuse to start an evil government and populus.
What would you do to stop local political predjudice in your area?
