wtf (wtf) wrote in fandom_wank,

Entry tags:

anime/manga, flouncing, look how much i don't care, not wank

"So long, suckers!"
Zac, aka Anime News Network's Answerman, has announced his retirement in the form of an epic flounce.

As a crusty old douchenozzle myself, I gotta say - I LOL'd.

I work at a newspaper, and I've always dreamed of doing this sort of thing myself when I leave -- Making the front page a giant headline saying "SO LONG SUCKERS" (and no story), having full page ads booked but just a small sentence in the middle of the page saying "Major Client bought this space but took too long to approve their ad so now you get this white page. Enjoy. Hope they're faster at serving you then they were at serving us." or something along those lines. Having full colour on every single page.... ah, the dreams.

So, go Zac! Livin' the dream, buddy!

	I suspect anyone who had to deal with the same set of moronic e-mails each week for 8 years would do a similar thing upon retirement. (Miaka! Tamahome! Miaka! Tamahome! He must have known what the most common response would be, but he probably never guessed it would be that much of a landslide.) (Reply to this)(Thread)

I noticed this earlier today but ignored it like I do most of the time when it comes to the Answerman columns. That and I remember when he 'quit' the first time so I have the feeling he'll be back eventually as he can't seem to stop trolling the ANN readers.

That said the comments in the forum are rather wank-less though there might be something starting with the old fan/new fan debate.
