Dear Staff
Welcome back to the office on this 1st day of the year.
Please be advised that there are new rules and regulations implemented
to raise the efficiency of our company.
ATTIRE: It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your
salary. If we see you wearing Prada sneakers & carrying a Gucci bag we
assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a
raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money
better, so that you may buy nicer clothes and therefore you do not need
a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be
and therefore you do not need a raise.
PERSONAL DAYS: Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.
They are called Saturday & Sunday.
LUNCH BREAK: Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat
more so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes
for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat
people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to
drink a Slim Fast and take a diet pill.
SICK DAYS: We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of
sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to
work.
RESTROOM USE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom.
There is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of
three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract,
the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second
offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under
the "Chronic Offenders" category.
SURGERY As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs.
You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have
something removed constitutes a breach of employment.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a
positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments,
concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations,
insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplation, consternation and
input should be directed elsewhere.
Have a nice day.

95 THESES AGAINST FANDUMB
by the members of Team Sexy Madam
SUBS/DUBS/EDITS/VERSIONS
1. Dubs are not the work of Satan. Some are actually better
than the original Japanese version.
2. Get a DVD player already if you must have subbed versions
of everything. You have nothing to lose but expensive, space
wasting tapes.
3. Cuts and edits in anime that's being aired on US television
are at worst a necessary evil and nothing to cry about. They
by no means sully the quality, concept, or memory of the
original.
4. Anime is not punk rock; if it pains you that so many people
are getting interested in it, find another scene to go save,
like Bollywood cinema. If you're bent out of shape that so
many "new" fans run around talking about how much they love
the televised editions of Pokemon or Sailor Moon, remember
that everyone had to start somewhere, even you.
5. Watching raw or subbed-only anime is simply not an option
for many people; do not decry them as ignorant, foolish, or
somehow missing out on the culture because they can't read the
subs or simply prefer to hear dialogue in their native
language. You are not smarter, more morally pure, or a better
person because you prefer subtitled editions.
6. Pokemon, Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, et al are toy ads
in Japan and they're toy ads in the states. If you spend time
arguing about how much better the Japanese edition of Pocket
Monsters is than Pokemon, we encourage you to jump off a
bridge. If you are buying Pokemon fansubs so that you can see
the "pure" version, you deserve to get ripped off.
7. Children's anime aired on television in the west is neither
the time nor the place for discussion of nonstandard (for the
country in which the show is aired) religious or sexual views;
don't bother complaining about what had to be left out because
it simply wouldn't fly.
8. In English, "Sailor Moon" is two words. None of this
"Sailoryournamehere" nonsense.
9. Romanizations that appear in both official Japanese product
and official English product should be taken as canon; her
name is Anthy, not Anshii or Ancy. In the case of
romanizations which vary within even Japanese product, either
the officially sanctioned English version should be used, or,
in the case of no English version, the most logical Japanese
version. It is "Bang Doll," not "Bang Dool," "Dotta," not
"Daughter," and "Xiaolin/Shaolin," not "Syaoran."
10. Honorific suffixes have little to no place in translated
anime. (The only exception is that characters involved in the
practice of kendo may call their teachers "sensei" and their
classmates "senpai.")
11. Anyone who thinks that recent dubs are poor quality must
be made to watch Macron 1.
12. Different versions of anime are not to be kept separate
from each other like meat and dairy in a kosher home. You can
enjoy dubs and subs equally, appreciate the televised version
of a series while being mindful of the original, and value
both new and old time continuums of an ongoing series.
13. If you get deeply, personally offended over how your
favorite show was treated for domestic release, please direct
your energies to the many charitable organizations combatting
real problems.
14. "Anime" in English has come to mean "animation produced in
Japan." "Anime" in Japanese refers to any animated work; in
Japan, Bugs Bunny is as much anime as Mazinger. Therefore, if
a show on US TV has been modified for broadcast, it's still
anime even if the plot is only vaguely related to the original
(witness Speed Racer); furthermore, there is no need to have a
stroke if someone refers to anime as "cartoons."
15. Nobody owes you versions of your favorite shows presented
in a manner according to your exacting specifications. Lack of
availability of such versions does not give you the right to
steal, either.
FANSUBS/COPYRIGHT/VCDS/PIRACY
16. Anime is a luxury item; if you can't afford it (tapes,
soundtracks, toys, cels, anything), you don't need it, period.
Find free public showings or start a tape trading club; don't
steal it by buying fansubs or VCDs. Live in a rural area where
it's not automatically stocked by Suncoast? That's why online
retailers and special orders exist. There are enough stores
out there that will be pleased to send you legit product in
exchange for check or money order (in case credit cards are a
problem) that you have no excuse to do otherwise.
17. Fansubs have outlived their purpose and must only be
invoked on shows with only the remotest possibility of US
release; fansubbing the newest stuff on TV is a waste.
18. Paying more than $7 for a fansub is idiotic.
19. Taiwanese CDs are illegal to sell in the US, and you are
ripping off your favorite artists by buying them. They are not
cheap substitutes for legit product, and "but they're the only
ones available at stores where I live" is no excuse. Either
track down and pay the premium for the legitimate versions or
do without.
20. Same goes for fansubs and most VCDs.
21. If you don't replace your bootleg gear when you have the
first chance (even if this means waiting a few months or
paying a higher premium for a cross-import to find the best
version) you're a chump and a thief.
22. If you are downloading and viewing entire episodes of a
show online, please take up a sport. If you are the one
encoding, uploading, and storing the episodes (and you're not
doing this under contract with the license holder), please
take up a potentially deadly sport.
23. The purchase of a series for US distribution is a cause
for joy, not for sorrow.
24. Fansubs are almost never going to be better than the legit
version for the simple reason that fansubbers do not have
access to the original scripts. Fansubs are not more
"authentic" or "pure" because the subtitling was a "labor of
love" as opposed to a professional job. If you come across a
translation that feels awkward or a cultural detail that seems
out of place in a legitimate release, consider the very high
likelihood that such changes were mandated by the Japanese
production staff.
25. That's very nice that you feel that way about copyrights.
You're free in the US to vote that way if you're ever on a
jury reviewing a piracy case. But be aware that the men and
women who make their living creating and selling the material
to which you believe you have a right feel otherwise, as do
lawmakers in just about every country except Taiwan. Anime
isn't open source.
26. Don't lose sight of the fact that, if you are an anime fan
in America, you are very lucky to have such a range of anime
professionally translated and subbed/dubbed easily available.
This does not mean you should purchase everything that comes
out just to support it, but you should be respectful of the
work that goes into what you watch. Recognize that the
popularity of anime puts food on the table for many people on
either side of the Pacific. Things could easily return to the
days of fifth-gen taped from tv blurry no sound fansubs; don't
take your anime for granted.
27. If you have ever uttered the words "glad I got my
fansubs," kindly get over yourself.
COSPLAY
28. Don't cosplay as any character who's been seen at more
than two or three US cons in succession. If you've worn the
same costume to more than two conventions, keep it a floor
costume; don't compete in the same outfit with the same lame
gag twenty times.
29. While you shouldn't let body image issues get in the way
of a good costume, neither are you striking a blow for gender
equality by looking ridiculous.
30. Don't cosplay as Card Captor Sakura if you're over 20 and
look it.
31. Masquerade/skit contests are over; let's hear it for an
open mike cabaret night for the skits and a formal judging for
the costumes.
32. Cosplaying as a character with different haircolor/style
from yours? Invest in a wig; it will make all the difference.
33. If there's a chick who's cosplaying in something tight or
revealing, do not ogle her, do not grope her, and do not
lamely scam on her with the mistaken notion that she wants it.
Compliment the costume and move along.
34. Don't sing in the cosplay; take it to karaoke.
35. Yes, we know most of the cosplay skits are lame and most
people at karaoke couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. This does
not mean you are free to heckle them however.
36. Even if you think the costume's kind of lame, you cannot
fault someone who has made a good faith effort to construct a
costume. Likewise with websites or other fan media. Everyone's
a beginner sometimes, and understand that some people just
don't place as high a priority on scouring the land for the
best costume gear or spending hours coding as you do.
37. Cosplay is an expensive and time consuming hobby; make no
mistake. Merely putting on an outfit similar to the one a
character wears just isn't good enough, and 95% of costumes
seen in anime simply can't be store purchased.
38. There is no shame in commissioning costumes for cosplay if
you can't sew or engineer the right outfit. However, you must
always credit the actual people who constructed the costume,
especially if the costume wins awards. Do not make a cosplay
website about yourself if all of your costumes are
commissioned works; there's little difference between doing
that and doing a website with pictures of you in the outfits
you bought at the mall. Make the website to showcase the work
of the costume producer instead.
39. The masquerade is not a platform for you to express your
political views.
40. If you've seen one masquerade sketch of characters from
thirty different shows and games beating each other, you've
seen all of them; if you're considering doing such a skit,
don't.
WEBSITES/FANART/FAN MEDIA
41. You don't need a web page, you don't need a message board,
you don't need $1k worth of cracked software to do such, and
nobody owes you a domain. Pay for these items yourself or find
something else to do.
42. Don't think you're safe using Japanese fanart on your
website just because the artist might speak poor English.
43. You do not need to make an anime "collective" site if you
only have one website to showcase.
44. Your link-to buttons and banners should not outshine the
rest of your website. Also, nobody is interested in seeing
stupid animated SNES-style images of the "characters" you've
"adopted," especially not on your front page. If your site's
front page features a bunch of prominent links to your
friends' sites, your own site must not be very worthwhile.
45. If the creator of a series has requested his or her
material not be reproduced on sites, respect such requests; do
not complain that he or she is being selfish and you're only
trying to promote stuff. Find another series or do fanart.
Even if the artists haven't made such requests, don't scan
entire artbooks, doujinshi, or manga volumes without the
artist's consent.
46. Building a gallery? Make thumbnails, and this means
separate, smaller versions (or close-ups) of larger images,
not just images you resized in the HTML. A few extra k of
thumbnails won't hog that much space; if space is that much of
a concern, find another host. Always include ALT tag, as as
there are plenty of people who use text-based browsers.
47. If you are undertaking to build an anime website defending
the honor, virtue, or purity of a character, please take up a
different hobby. The only excuse to make a character shrine is
"I think foo is cool and here's why."
48. Anime websites do not require DHTML; no fan site is worth
downloading special browsers or plugins. Testing for cross
browser compatibility is as simple as cornering a few buddies
on a message board or online chat and absolutely worth your
time. A note that says "my site is visible only in a certain
browser" is a note that says "I have no worthwhile content."
49. Nobody wants to hear your MIDI.
50. Do not wail when your free site host has blitzed your MP3
archive, your storehouse of entire episodes in AVI format, or
hentai doujin clearinghouse. If you are unwilling to pay a
premium for host services that allow these items, you have no
place to complain.
51. Do not read the riot act if you see a website whose layout
is similar to yours. There is only so much one can do with
HTML, and lifting code from other sites is a common, accepted
method of learning scripting. Get upset if the content is
lifted. However, recognize also that there are limits to what
one can do with the same basic set of info and graphics from a
given series; your site is not necessarily being ripped off if
a site has general information similar to yours.
52. If you're considering doing a website on a very popular
series, particularly one such as Sailor Moon that has ceased
production, reconsider very carefully that you absolutely have
something unique to contribute to the discussion of this work.
53. Web page review squads: Who asked you?
54. If you think there's a conspiracy against your website
because some folks with similar websites pal around with each
other but not you, or because you were passed over for
recognition by Anipike or such, consider taking up a different
hobby.
55. Webcliques are dumb.
56. Fandubs were meant solely as a parody medium, not as a
stepping stone for serious artists (unless you're that nutcase
Axelrod).
57. There's more to CG fanart than running a photoshop filter
over a scanned image.
58. There's more to fanart than tracing something outta
Newtype.
59. While at-con fanart auctions are a time honored thing,
don't put your fanart up on eBay.
60. Don't write fanfic where you're an all-powerful, godlike
character who always gets the girl/guy/money/power/candy.
Spend some time reading all manner of different fanfic so that
you may know and avoid those concepts that are completely
played out.
61. In all but the rarest of cases, fanfic is little more than
a fun writing excercise; it is not your springboard to a
lucrative future career composing speculative novels about
Maison Ikkoku/Votoms crossover worlds.
62. Nobody wants to see fan videos synced up to power ballads
or Queen.
CONS/PUBLIC SHOWINGS
63. Nobody wants to hear your MST3K comments during public
screenings.
64. School clubs are a great way to get lots of your pals into
anime. Please make sure, however, that what you are showing at
a general showing is of PG-13 or lower content. Do not howl
when your high school club is disbanded because you aired the
director's cut of Perfect Blue.
65. Do not destroy convention facilities. You are only hurting
the folks who put on the convention, and by extension your
fellow con attendees, not the hotel.
66. Don't go to room parties to score drinks if you're
underage. If anything happens to you after you've had a few,
the hosts of the party are liable for your actions.
67. For God's sake, bring enough dough to a con so that you
can afford to buy items in the dealer's room, eat, pay for
your room, and get home. And don't camp out in the lobby,
either; it gives cons a bad name.
68. Do not attend convention panel discussions and act like a
jackass. Do not ask the same questions repeatedly, do not ask
questions the panel moderator has requested not be asked, and
do not shout comments at random. Do not be surprised if your
question about some obscure detail of a show at a creator's
panel is met with a response to the effect of "uh, because it
looked cool?"
69. When lining up for an autograph session, be patient, be
polite, don't arrive with everything the guest has ever
touched, and don't expect a sketch as sketches can take away
from the time other con attendees have for autographs. Know
the guest; do not ask producers or writers for sketches.
Bringing something for a guest to sign? Don't bring bootleg
gear. Better you should get an autograph on a chemistry
textbook than on a Taiwanese pirate CD.
DEALERS/MERCH/CELS
70. Always learn to tell original yen price (or most common
range of asking prices) so that you may draw your personal
line for acceptable markup. Do not, however, berate dealers
who sell items for more than you would consider acceptable
markup. The laws of economics will take care of them.
71. When in a dealer's room, learn to bargain politely; do not
say "I'll give you so and so," and do make a point to purchase
additional material from dealers who are willing to work with
you. Note that many dealers will only bargain if you are
paying cash; be prepared with cash on hand if you open
negotiations.
72. Missing out on cels you really wanted is no reason to cry,
complain, or howl about how cruel the hobby of cel collecting
is. Missing these cels is occasion only to say "aw, rats," and
move on, or possibly request a trade with the actual buyer.
Should the buyer decline your trade request, move on. Under no
circumstances should you decry the bidder who outbid you on a
cel (or other item) as driving up prices or somehow depriving
you of the chance to own the item in question.
73. Do not complain to dealers that their prices are too high
for you. If you cannot afford it, you do not need the item,
and your life will go on.
74. Negotiate prices only with dealers who are willing to do
so; if they say that the price on an item is firm, do not
press them on it.
75. Do not chide dealers at a dealer's room for selling
illicit gear, be it bootleg tapes, SM cds, or model kits of
recast repute; that job is the province of con administration.
Express your concerns to a con staffer, make note not to
purchase from those dealers, and drop the issue.
76. If someone has purchased an item, be it a cel, toy, or
doujinshi, from you and places the item on auction for a
higher price than you received, you have no place to complain.
Once the item is out of your hands and the deal has been done,
the item is the other person's to sell as he or she sees fit.
77. If you ordered a cel online, send the payment as soon as
you possibly can, and don't offer lame excuses why you can't
pay that week. If you don't have the money in the bank the
minute you request the cel, you don't need that cel. This goes
double if you're ordering internationally; triple if the
seller's English isn't that great. Flaking out on payments and
making weiner excuses for why a dealer should lower the cost
of that cel makes it harder for responsible cel buyers to deal
internationally. And for the love of a centered, eyes open
Ayanami Rei, don't bid on Japanese auctions unless you
understand Japanese.
SEX
78. The quality and enjoyability of hentai is directly
proportional to the age and consent levels involved.
79. If you dig yaoi, make no mistake, you are enjoying hentai;
there's no distinction between yaoi and hentai. Yaoi hentai
may be different from yuri or "straight" material in theme,
content, and art style but just because yaoi is prettier
doesn't make you somehow better than a yuri or "straight" fan.
80. Just because you don't like or approve of hentai anime
doesn't mean everyone else has to conform to your POV, nor
should either side condemn the other for disagreeing.
81. While straight nude/cheesecake shots of characters don't
constitute hentai in and of themselves, do be cirucmspect when
displaying such images in mixed company (a website on a
freehost, your desktop).
82. If you are well over the age of consent and go on and on
about how cute (in a physical way--we don't mean Pokemon here)
any anime character well under the age of consent is, you are
creepy.
83. Bubblegum Crisis, Sailor Moon, Tenchi, Dragon Ball, and
Ranma are fine shows that introduced many people to anime, but
they are not the be all end all of anime; please move on.
84. You are not smarter, prettier, or a better person because
you like certain shows and consider other shows "beneath" you;
neither are you smarter, prettier, or a better person for
dismissing someone for liking what you do not. You are also
not smarter, prettier, or a better person because you started
watching anime before your buddies.
85. Don't give away spoiler details of shows unless you've
made sure the person to whom you are speaking doesn't mind.
86. With a few rare exceptions, most potential dates will not
be impressed with your knowledge of mecha arcana.
87. Nobody thinks you're cute, smart, or clever if you
sprinkle your conversation with Japanese phrases you picked up
from anime or tack honorifics on to your friends' names.
88. Yes, you're very adept at playing video games. This has no
bearing on your penis size.
89. Final Fantasy 8 is not the Greatest Love Story of Our
Time.
90. Don't pretend to understand or dig a certain show because
it seems trendy. If you didn't "get" Lain or Eva, admit it. If
you watched Fushigi Yuugi and decided you just weren't into
it, say so. If you aren't really interested in Cowboy Bebop,
don't put the characters on your website.
91. Interest in anime is not necessarily indicative of larger
interest in Japanese culture. Sure, plenty of anime fans like
the music, decide to learn the language, or take up ikebana,
and that's great. But those who do go in for further cultural
studies aren't any better or worse than the fans who just like
to watch giant robots beat each other up--you're simply fans
with different interests.
92. Likewise, you're no more or less of a fan if you don't
want to be a part of fandom as a whole. If you don't want to
go to conventions, if you aren't interested in merchandise or
cosplay or games, if you just like cartoons as a casual fan,
that's your perfect right and you're no better or worse than
anyone for it. No two fans have the same "fan agenda."
93. Remember the anime that came before what you watch now.
Utena did not spring whole from Saitoh's forehead, nor is it
coincidental that Spike Spiegel looks like Lupin III's cousin.
94. Japanese snack foods are overrated.
ABOVE ALL ELSE
95. All of anime, and everything that goes with it, is about
cartoons. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing to take
personally.

I sit down--
With uneasiness
and vexation enveloping
my sad, angry gut.
My legs tremble,
sweat flowing thru my
forehead, my neck,
my entire stiffening body-
How annoying,
How uncomfortable.
Soon a pop, then two,
then three, then--
a pungent perfume touches
my sensitive nose.
A smell so bad--yet relieving.
Something I would appreciate
more than bio-gas.
The stench of life.
Then, the quantity dwindles,
the long hard yellow submarine
is now but a trickle of marble,
then, soon, no more--
Vanquished by the whaloping whirlpool--
The yellow sub has submerged!
Then I sigh--deep--
Comfort reeping thru my veins,
my tensed muscles have disappeared--
Sweat trickles thru me still,
yet now they are of relief,
and not of improbability.
I have eliminated wastes fully--
Wastes of life,
wastes of mine.
And all that is left
is a clean storage room--
ready to fully house yet another
batch of life's sorry mistakes-
To be eliminated on another day...

The buzzword in today's business world is MARKETING. However, people often ask for a simple explanation of "Marketing." Well, here it is:
SUPPOSE:
You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Direct Marketing.
You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's fantastic in bed."
That's Advertising.
You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Telemarketing.
You see a guy at a party. You straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I?" and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."
That's Public Relations.
You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed,"
That's Brand Recognition.
You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.
That's a Sales Rep.
Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.
That's Tech Support.
You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"
That's Junk Mail.
