Current mood:

Mildly Amused

This is how international incidents gets started......
More wank from the the Tribe fandom.....

Somehow a thread of a fan complaining about how the Germans get all the good merchandise while the english speaking fans gets ignored, gets turned into a political mudslinging event, bringing up Nazi's, Bush, and England as America's lapdog.

Not the first time the German fans have gone head-to-head with the english speaking fans.....and if history repeats itself, this could get ugly....and amusing at the same time as each side defends its nation.

A small sample of the events:
John Connor II says: Cloud 9 must think that that the Nazi's won World War II because all of the tribe books are in German. News Flash! They Lost!!!

SnM responds with: are you SICK?
were are you from, england? england i forgot, the country with bushs lapdog in charge.

I WOULD like to clarify, that on MANY occasions Cloud 9 has told the fans that if they want to see the books and other merchandise in their country, that they need to let distributors and publishers in their own countries know that they want this stuff.

Ah, so that explains why they've got all 11 volumes of YnM already. Not that I'm bitter.

if they want to see the books and other merchandise in their country, that they need to let distributors and publishers in their own countries know that they want this stuff.

Am I doing my bit in this respect? Let me put it this way: the owner of Comicopia and I are on a first-name basis. Yeah. I go there THAT often and buy THAT much manga.

	Hee. At one point the people at my local library knew me by name, but then I had overdue books and didn't go back for like a year. It is a sad tale of epic proportions. Or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	O_o Yes, I was miffed last year when I could find Region 2 DVDs for some of the later Buffy seasons, but couldn't find them for Region 1. I didn't run around yelling, "Blair is a poodle!" over it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Hear that C9! Stop pretending that the world is a bunch of bilingual thespians!

John Conner II is my hero. If only the world were filled with bilingual thespians! We could finally present the German/English Midsumer's Night Dream - and don't worry about understudies. We have about six billion.

Idly, precisely which Tribes fandom is this? The show with kids surviving in post-apoclayptic world with lots of makeup?
