"Daily Mail vs 'Manga'"

Yes, they're at it again. The Daily Mail have taken their crusade against all things they don't understand by condemning the decision to put Japanese Manga in schools.

The books are vetted by the School's councils, but the Mail once again shows their ignorance of everything by not undertanding the difference between comic books and Japanese Manga.

Only a fool would suggest that reading an adaption of Spirited Away (to give a well known example) would lead to 'harder' material which is often read by adults in Japan. It would be like suggesting children shouldn't read books, in case it gets them involved in horror or porn based reading material, or not watching Bambi on video, because it will eventually lead the kids to something by Ron Jeremy.

Daily Mail, well done, you've done it again...

Meh, I can't lead to anything.

The general target area for these "projects" involve State schools, hence the price to buy more perverted manga would be too high.

Mmm...

Hentai...

Mmm...

I love how the first and second paragraphs fit together like a perfectly formed moronic jigsaw.

Why "Especially"? The Bible certainly isn't English.

Ahaha.

Sheesh. Do they not stop and think that maybe this 'obscene' material is only available to those who look for it?

I bet these books within the library are just pokemon annuals.

The Bible was English.
So was Jesus, and the Israelites and everyone.

We are talking about the Daily Mail here, you know.
"Stop" and "think" are not words to be used around such a waste of trees.

Pffft, they were American, and the Egyptians were Vietcong in disguise.

Dragonrape cartoon bannings!!!!!
Wide-eyed schoolgirl demon mouthsex rampage!!!!

I don't like manga, I think it's for nerdy sociopaths that are incapable of forming relationships with people that don't require unpacking and inflating.
I personally think it leads to nothing more than an appreciation for breathing heavily through one's mouth and a fixed stare at 13yr old schoolgirls with overly small mouths and massive round eyes...but each to their own.

And to the bloke moaning that we've lost our character and likes The Daily Mail?
*points and laughs*
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha, Victorian Workhouse Boss.

You've seen Legend of the Overfiend then?

I'm not overly fussed by Manga or anime, but I do find it difficult to give it fair judgement when the only person I've ever had any contact with who is a massive fan is Belldandy.

I used to quite enjoy anime (I've got three Akira cells with custom made backgrounds on my wall. Still beautiful artwork.)

.........then I grew up.

BADAM!
