    I can barely find the words
    I decided to post it here rather than f_w because it's a tiny wank with one wanker but I find it stupid enough to rant about.

    Over on Anime News Network, they are having fun with April Fool's Day. They started the day off with an article that 4Kids announced they licensed Ebichu Minds the House. (Not work safe) Another article was that Jerry Bruckheimer is interested in creating a live-action adaptation of Eiken. ANN went all out this year.

    Another one of their "articles" was Viz Unlicenses Naruto. This was the weakest of their hoax articles because the article makes it very obvious it's fake. On the message board, most posters were laughing or telling ANN they should have tried harder. Then Sam. shows up on the middle of page two.

    ANN this is so not funny. Don't every do that again.

    Some people like me don't stop by and browse ANN all-the-time anymore ... I used to check news here almost everyday ... okay! (but now maybe only twice a month or so.) Also, neither my friends nor I are hardcore anime fans anymore, (like we used to be back in our teenage years.) Therefore, we are not in touch with anime news. I would appreciate it, if you don't scare me like that again. Moreover, we always trusted ANN as a reliable anime news site. Playing a cruel joke like this is so not cool. I'm sure there are plenty others out there, that are in the same boat as me.
    Naruto is kinda a touch subject right now. I wonder how many saw this as a hoax? or how many smaller websites linked you a false news source on this. Next time think of the long term consequences, instead of the short term amusement. thanks!

    your next step, torrmow, is going to be to apologize for the news post right? But sorry don't make a dead man alive. (Tiny font so that the mod doesn't see it)


    What. The. Hell? I want to believe this is fake. I want to believe that he didn't call an article that stated VIZ dumped Naruto and instead is funding research to create a real-life Hamtaro cruel. I want to believe that I can actually understand the last sentence. My head... GET A FUCKING SENSE OF HUMOR, NARUTARD!

    (I like Naruto and I find it unfair that non-wanky fans are called Narutards but this guy deserves the title.)

    Edit: ANN has put up a page for the April Fools Articles.

    Edit 2: I checked page three to double-check if the poster was pulling a AF joke of his own and sadly... nope. I found more wank. IM NOT A NERD LIKE YOU ANYMORE! IM LEAVING!
