Why would you want to bomb this?!
Just...wow.
And I'm not even wowing about how rare it is that I get to talk about politicians on this site.
Democratic New Hampshire state representative Nick Levasseur reportedly updated his Facebook status to say this yesterday:
"anime is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough....."
*snf* Please don't nuke me!
Note: I have not been able to formally confirm the content of this Facebook update; the primary source is the Republican site RedHampshire.com, which clearly has some potential bias. All the other sites I found reporting on it cited the same source (except my original source, TheGinachu on Twitter (via AICN Anime), who doesn't cite where she first heard it).
But if this is legit? Dude, what a tool. Even Strike Witches can't be THAT bad.
Well since has was talking about anime I don't think any one one out side of anime fandom is going to care really.
They are still pretty sensitive about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I seem to remember some reporting about some worries about that scene in Code Geass about that bomb going off in that series Tokyo.
Some people just have no idea what a horrible weapon a nuclear bomb is. Everyone only thinks of them as in movies. It's not just the blast. It's the outskirts where there is severe radiation sickness. Not to mention the damage the radiation does to the land.
I hope this news gets to Japan and he feels some heat from their media. Not to mention the Japanese consulate in the US.
It's good to be cautious about such sourcing, but what would be the point in lying about what was posted on a Facebook page that could easily be proven false. Though, you also have to wonder if this was his posting or someone's commenting on his wall.
@kwyrt:
Never underestimate how stupid a politician of any party can be.
Public adviser: Well gee sir ever since we had a N***** as president it be very hard to be in politics for people like us.
Nick: I know stupid but if i don`t go rasist on somebody i`m gonna go crazy
PA: Well we can`t focus on the emigrants any more and everybody`s a little touchy about people in the middle-east ever since the wars.
Nick: I got! i dunno bout you but i think nobody cares about it if i go red on them Japs.
PA: excellent sir i`ll see you at the lighting of the cross.
Nick: Fine!, *log on to facebook*.

Racism is everywhere *Cough Wilders Cough*
Now that`s not good enough! i say lets use him to beat Rasputin`s old record :)
twice of them
Theirs biases on the site http://www.bluehampshire.com/ has well. I'm not trying to started a fight on anything but the media in general would ran with this story if a Republican would have said this and not democratic.
I hope Gia would have said same thing if sorce came from bluehampshire.com if it were a Republican that said it and giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure she would have.
Anyways, we would keep nuke them unto the ground if they haven't surrender. Which I'm glad they did. I love anime.
*clears throat*
If ever there was another nuke detonated in Japan...
Too obscure?
