Follow that title with a squeaked Pika! and the arrival of the Dark Lord in a fighting arena, and you’ve got yourself a Japanese-spawned megafranchise that just happens to be a tool of the Antichrist. Sure, it’s edited for effect, but even if it weren’t it’d be worth a good laugh.
I found this video originally on GamePolitics, who got the link from EverythingIsTerrible.com.Β Like them, I think I’ll just let the video speak for itself, and ponder in silence the ever-growing revelation that humanity – there being no effective way to sort out the valuable people from the crazies like the above fellow – has had its shot, and it’s time for the cleansing flood.
Amen, Brother!! I am so happy that there are people out there who can see through the seemingly innocent in this world to the hidden demonic core. Insidious, I tell ya. We need more “soldiers for righteousness” like this guy. I feel better now.
Heh heh, typical American TV preacher, I’d say. Then again, knowing America only through entertainment industry might not be giving me the right picture. This guy is amusing though. I would LOVE to see what he’d do if someone was to introduce him to Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. Or, you know, Manhunt. His head would probably explode, proving his point somehow.
Anyway, my point, I expect preachers like this come a dime a dozen in the USA. Today it’s Pokemon, tomorrow it’s Kanye West, then it’ll be Obama and then NFL or some such. The difference is of course, those guys don’t have nearly the same level of influence on the authorities as religious leaders have in my country. Trust me, over here shit is scarier, even though they’ve never heard of Pokemon. 50 years of communism were not so bad, it’s the grand return to religion and tradition that is following in its wake that is really rubbing the salt in.
Maybe more like a dime a half-dozen, but we sure have our fair share of them. The recent rise of the “Megachurch” in the U.S. has given some of these folks a good deal of limelight. It troubles me that my country is so wonderful, but at the same time so filled with intolerant morons. A good 50% of my country’s population just aren’t worth the flesh they’re printed on, former president included. I can see why it makes it difficult for other cultures to like America. Some of us are ok, but fewer than half. The rest are NASCAR-loving, Busch Light-drinking, trailer-living troglodytes.
I believe you when you say shit is scarier where you are. It scares even me. I should be grateful that when a crazy like this fellow shows up on YouTube, we can just mock him on websites. During the previous administration these guys had amazing influence over policy; President Obama is rightfully ignoring them. Hopefully we’ll be able to do at least some good during his time in office.
(Oh, and to the people who emailed demanding that I ban Spike for her comment, SHE WAS JOKING. Geez.)
Yes, I joke. I also mock, ridicule, deride, sneer, jeer, deprecate, condemn, denounce, decry, disparage, despise.
I’ve lived long enough to see a pattern. These guys (a few women, too) seem to gain more “audience share” when we have a right-winger in the WH, or when the economy isn’t so good. Pair the 2, and you get a great big “all the world is evil”, “we’re all going to hell in a handbasket” devil-fest.
Thanks for the support, Steerpike. (Seriously, never for a moment would I think that there really were “people who emailed demanding that I ban Spike for her comment”. But it is nice to know that you’d have my back!
Well, I once noted that running this site is basically a matter of Toger-wrangling, and you pointed out that there should be a fair amount of Spike-wrangling as well. Think of this as a wrangle. π
Seriously, though, we do get occasional drive-by visits from people who don’t know the community here and don’t bother to read comments carefully, then try to make a scene behind-the-scenes. Usually I ignore them, since they so rarely bother to make public their comments, but since the conversation was going on I thought I’d set the record straight. A little bit of mockery, ridicule, derision, sneeriness, jeeriness, deprecation, condemnation, denouncement, decrying, disparaging, and despising is healthy for them. Think of it as your share of Christmas cheer! π
Welcome to the wrangle pen, Spike. Ignore the bone debris.
Many years of research by 3 people (kids, ex) have proven beyond a doubt that Spike-wrangling not only doesn’t work, but actually has the exact opposite effect of the one hoped for. But…I do try to reign in my Spike-i-ness in public. Keep some thoughts in my head and off my tongue. I imagine it’s about the same with Toger and others.
“Think of this as a wrangle. ;)” Ewww! Ick! Consider me chastised.
Personally I think you should type what you think. It’s a trivial thing for me or others to have your back, and it would break my cold stone heart to learn that certain Spike-isms are left on the cutting room floor.
It’s not just you two I have to wrangle. My day is a constant exercise in wrangling. The bone debris Toger speaks of? Mostly my bones. I think there are a few pounds of flesh in there too. π
