Anime destroys America! (so says Fox News)

For my next assignment the remix generator has graciously given me the culture crash assignment, which wow isn’t that what I basically do with every post? But here comes the Shyamalinian twist, I must present this culture clash in the form of an extremist Fox News styled broadcast. Well this can’t end well.

Now I was told to make a banner but I thought that was kind of lame, instead I wanted to present a few unrealistic examples of how children might be corrupted by Japanese anime; so I made it into a GIF instead. Just in case you can’t make anything out too well here’s a list of what’s in the news boxes:

  • Natsu (Fairy Tail) is eating fire so the little boy tried to imitate him with a nice healthy bowl of fire.
  • Light (Death Note) is a messed up mass murderer, so seriously if I have to explain how he corrupts people I’d just be wasting everyone’s time. But the point is I put in a little girl with her very own Death Note, probably performing similar atrocities. This isn’t the first time Death Note made the news though.
  • Yachiru (Bleach) is biting down on the head of Ikkaku, which actually now that I think about may be something rather impressionable by little kids. The real example was a picture I found of a man with a baby biting his ear, that must of been awkward to pose for.

Well maybe two of those would actually have a chance of Fox News reporting negatively on anime. But really now if were dumb enough to try and eat fire then I think we have bigger problems.
