Anime Culture
I went with David Lim to return some Japanese Anime DVDs.(I did NOT rent them) We drove all the way to this little store that specialize on Japanese cartoon and those people that play card games... Not poker or black jack. I am not sure what kind of game it was called but stupuid card games such as pokemon card games and other God knows what kind of games. I have never seen so many dorks in my life. You know the kind. Back in the 80's they played Dungeons and Dragon. Those dorks have evolved to this group of geeks that puts their predecessors to shame. I mean they were all into this meaningless game and talking about some card that had special powers and yelling out "Awwww yaeh, my special hologram card can destroy your weak non-hologram card anyday". And all the dorks playing along would say "ooooohhhhhhhhhh, dang". Full grown geeks and geekettes playing pokemon cards or something equally lame. When I finally got over the dorkiness of these fools, I walked up to the anime section. They were whole another kind of nerds. Now i should say that I appreciate some Japanese cartoons. The art work is incredible and they put much more energy to their animations than others. But what I witnessed was unacceptable. Bunch of geeks asking each other about what is new and this that and the other. Even that is ok. But when I heard some one say "who do you think would win between Gundam Z and Skull Leader?" I almost busted out in laughter. But the guy who had the answer...... "Well That is a tough toss up....." And he started naming off why and how one or the other could win. I felt like the little coolness I had was being sqeezed out of me. But the straw that broke the camels back was when some young kid was looking through PORN ANIME. One of the kid's friend said "Hey are you old enough to look at that, hee hee hee....hyuk hyuk". Laughing as only a nerd can. Here is the reason why I was disturbed. I was his age once and I could sympathize with the kid on the curiosity of some thing as taboo as porn. But this kid was looking through another form of evil. CARTOONS made into porn. I had to leave. I told David I will wait for him outside. He was in an intense conversation with the clerk about a new Macross that was cancelled.
David : Ah.... Ah.... is it true that rest of Macross 0 has been cancelled
Male Nerd Clerk : No Way....
Female Nerd Clerk : It's true because they had disputes about rights.
Male Nerd Clerk : My life is over.....
David : DANG! I hate it when they do that.
Da Fevah :David. I going out side... think I am going tobe sick....
I walked out side had a smoke and waited for David to come out. He finnally came out and we left.
Da Fevah : Man I couldn't believe those clowns in there.... The card players were the worst....
David : Ah.. Ah.. I don't pley those card games but don't knock it till you try it....
Da Fevah : The day you see me at that place playing pokemon cards, just do me a favor and kill me. Cause I won't have anything else to live for.
Evil hits all of us in different form. Whether you are cool, beautiful, nerdy, or stupid. This is why I have not given up yet on pretty girls for Jesus ministry. You can click on it and scroll down to my vision. I blogged about it on Thursday, January 30, 2003.
