I know! Only one of them actually happened (the real answer will be in tomorrow's post), but they're all very much keeping in character with these guys.
(Well, except that one can't speak Kanji. I meant to say "read" there, but you can't edit polls. D'oh.)
I chose kanji so that I could leave this link. Nothing says "stupidity" like permanent stupidity. And the great thing about kanji is that they are used by different languages and dialects, so these guys could tour Asia and be laughed at everywhere they went. The flip side of "All your base belong to us."
From the site:
They say it means: "Naughty girl"
Actual meaning: This appears to say "closed-minded woman". Not only is the grammar attrocious — these symbols shouldn't be used together like this — but it also means pretty much the opposite of what they thought.
Of course, he misspelled "atrocious", but that's just icing on the cake.
Also, I'll have you know that, on the basis of your praise, I checked out the Dr. Who show's website and got sucked into playing "The Last Dalek" for hours on end. I'll never get that time back.
I think it's funny that they made an addictive video game out of what was one of the saddest episodes so far. Poor little Dalek...
Have you ever seen the show? (I'm not sure whether they play it in the US.) I'm biased because I grew up watching it and I was incredibly giddy about a new series, but it really is one of the best things I've seen on TV.

I guess that explains why I can't win.

My gay male socialist comrades had shown me a rather anti-capitalist episode of the old show in which a particular planet's ruling plutocrat is unmasked as being some kind of slug-like alien. I imagine you could probably name the episode. I've met a lot of gay men who like that show. ... Okay, only four.
I was not born/too young to remember titles of the old episodes. But there was a recent episode like that, which was a very astute commentary on the Shrub and his British poodle.
For some reason, most of the people I know who like it are women. There's something about fabulously dressed, snarky men that I suspect appeals to both demographics.
I figured she'd have them all on tape. I am in awe. Alas, I don't have a wall in my shoebox that isn't covered by existing furniture and/or political posters, and alas, I can count the number of DVDs/videos I own on my fingers.
My kids accuse me of permanently warping them by exposing them to Dr. Who at a young age. Not that they are really complaining.
There have been many times when I wondered what political topics they were commenting about. Seeing them a year to several years after they were made probably removed a lot of the programmes out of context.

Video games are not really a strength of mine.
"Anger management issues" not withstanding.
