Yeah it's not like the regular porn industry is obsessed with youth. So weird, man.


The regular porn industry doesn't appear to incorporate much on pedophillia.

Haha.

Sorry, just getting an image of that Hill guy in your avatar sticking his fingers in his ears and singing "lalalala". Of course. There's no such thing as underage porn because it's illegal. None. Just like people don't do or supply drugs.

To you maybe. To a few of the people posting I think it's a serious er, "issue".

I like anime, I wear cat ears and bunny ears when I feel like it, I read manga, I like to speak Japanese, I say kawaii ne when I think something's cute, I say sugoi! when I think something's cool. I use honorrifcs when addresing my SO, I say sumimasen, gomen asai, onegai, itadakimasu and other phrases. I'm almost 30, and that makes me an otaku? Kami-sama. :roll:

The regular porn industry does not seem to incorporate paedophilia, what you're describing is not the 'regular porn industry'.

Do you have what you would describe as an obsessive interest in any of those?

In order to be an otaku, it has to be obsessive interest, well according to wikipedia anyway.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Old Gregg or Gordon Ramsay will be replacing Hankie in a few weeks.

The underlined--what?

Anyways, I'm saying the regular porn industry doesn't go into children/tween porn. At least I don't assume it does.

I wasn't discussing the legality of it.

Then to those people, I apologize for you not finding my joking funny.

But to me, it's not very serious. Just an oppurtunity for laughs and to point out obsessions, which I too have.

I know Hydey, which is why I find this thread so odd. I am aware that some people take things to extremes, and that there are indeed obsessed anime/manga fans out there, just like there are obsessed MJ fans, or Beyoncé fans or gun nuts.

Not on cartoon network. They just finished the series and are starting it over from the beginning.

I meant for my flag. I've decided every month I'm going to change my obsessions on NS.

I'm on KoTH now, I'll be going to Gordon Ramsay or Old Gregg next.

I didn't mean replace like on TV, I'll cry for many hours if (hopefully not when) that day comes.

Give it a couple months. Fox is canceling it, though I only suspect they are doing that so the Simpsons can continue to be the longest running cartoon ever.

Fox clearly has no concept of "diminishing returns".

The Simpsons have to end sometime...they're getting old to me, I don't even watch them anymore.

It's sad though, I mean King of the Hill really incorporated on daily real life issues, things that could happen to anyone, it almost never seemed to extreme to me. The jokes weren't stupid fart gags or that crap, they were genuine and the episode always had a great plot along with the occasional gags and puns.

I think KoTH is far superior to Family Guy, and even the Simpsons.

For the most part anyway.

KotH has actually improved over time. The Simpsons is just repeating itself at this point - it has been running for 20 years.

Yes, KoTH is one of the few shows that got better as time went on.

Most shows like that (FG, the Simpsons) start off pretty meh, get really good during the middle seasons, start sucking during the last couple, and end.

KoTH was meh at the beginning, got better, better, and ended as if it could have continued on, still getting better.

My Japanese friend and I agree that people should not use those words in English, and should otherwise replace them with perfectly acceptable English words. We both feel that it is degrading to his Culture, just as the leprechaun and the green beer is degrading to my own. We also both agree that this whole 'put on animal ears' fad is simply ridiculous.

Except for The Mighty Boosh, which started in the middle and then quickly went into a free-fall.

But Old Gregg is so funny looking...

Then again, I don't know how far Gordon Ramsay could take me...
