Childhood Memories Ruined by the Internet?
An anonymous reader writes "Remember that favorite cartoon you used to get up early every saturday morning to watch? Then remember how that part of your childhood died when you stumbled on that dirty piece of fanart based on it? Codehappy has launched a new site for you. Broken Memories is a website devoted to all the childhoods destroyed by internet fandom. Take a look at some of their discoveries, some of these things are just plain wrong."
Man, I can't look at Batman and Robin and NOT think of the Ambiguously Gay Duo anymore. I miss the days when I was younger and had no awareness of these soul-crushing truths.
Just... wrong. I remember when I was little, running around the house with my Thundercats sword. Unfortunately, I also remember the first time I stumbled across some fan "art" of one of them giving Mumra a blowjob.
I'm going to go curl up in the corner in a fetal position and cry.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
All my childhood memories are circulating around the computers in my life. ... when i got my C64... the first time i fired a CPU... my first Intel 286 reference book...
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
yeah like, i remember my childhood..
/me cries :(
it was a internet filled with nice people.
You were lucky to get an email an hour, news sites weren't filled with dupes, and first-post trolls were unheard of.
the world has changed

well, now i know where to look for all my smurf hentai
I don't think that was actually posted by vanilla ice.
I like this better than any Pooh book or cartoon ever! Had to wait until I was well over 30 before it discovered me too :(
Eve Fairbanks says I drive a hybrid!LOL
I caught one of these hacked-up Bugs Bunny cartoons a while back. I mean, one minute Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck are talking to one another, and suddenly (and with no explanation) Daff's beak is on upside down and backwards and he's screaming and trailing smoke all over the place.
Now personally I think that's WAY more disturbing than the original cartoon.
While I'm waiting for this to load, I think I'll create Broken Links, a website devoted to all the websites destroyed by slashdotting.
This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles clip has to be the funniest movie clip I've ever seen in my life!!!
I'm a writer, a poet, a genius, I know it. I don't buy software, I grow it.
..if anything seeing the x-men gang bang storm was a major turn on.
I've left to find myself. If you happen to see me, please, keep me there until I return.
now my memories are slashdotted....
...will mostly be marked by a bunch of assholes from Arstechnica's forums.
For some reason, civlised debat is hard to come by on that particular website.
At the risk of seeming pedantic (with an opening like that, how can I be anything else?) I should point out that Shrek is an ogre, not a troll.
I know this, because my 3 year old daughter is watching it at the moment, a welcome relief from Toy Story 2, which she has already watched three times today. She normally manages to limit herself to Shrek only once or twice a day.
No doubt some warped geek will come up with some "fan" "art" based on these two as well. In fact, I fully expect some warped geek to reply to this post with some existing porno versions of these cartoons.
I miss the days when I was younger and had no awareness of these soul-crushing truths.
The sketch that did it for me was the SNL bit where James Bond finds out he's got every STD known to man, and hundreds of new ones, hereafter classified as Jamesbond001, JamesBond002, etc.
He's calling all the people he's ever slept with, and at one point, he calls up stately Wayne Manor.
"Hello, is Batman in? Excellent, could you put him on? No, no, stay on the line Robin, this concerns you too."

I HIGHLY reccomend downloading "A Night on Thundera" (no, I'm not going to link to it - I'm ashamed I even know the title), and then have your mac read it back to you (the simpletext speech thang) - I haven't been that frightened or laughed that loud.
Just the way it makes Snarf say "Oh Lion-o"...
I'm going to go cry now.
Heh, I even remember buying a Barbie doll so my G.I. Joe could have someone to fuck
HOT HOT anatomically incorrect action!!!
Hey CleverNickName, have you had problems with fan imposter porn being done of you or your charachter?
Sure, if you call getting a hummer in the turbo lift from Tasha Yar "problems," set your phasers to porn!
One of my favorite episodes is where Homer goes to work for Scorpio (Hank), the evil guy who's going to take over the world.
Anyway, there's this great moment that goes like this (Homer's holding a cup of coffee):
Homer: Uh... you have any sugar around here?
Hank: Sugar? Sure. [fumbles in his pockets, takes out a few handfuls of sugar] There you go. Sorry it's not in packages.
Of course... in sindication they leave out the next line... which is one of my favorite Simpson's moments...
Hank: Want some cream?
Homer: I--uh... no.
Man, I know how you feel. Whenever I catch "The A-Team" on TV now all I can think is "Man... for being so bad-ass.. the A-Team has terrible shooting accuracy..."
Seriously, the A-Team must have the worse shot-kill ratio in the history of television. They always just employ the "Shoot the ground until the guy run's, flips in the air to dodge the bullet, then knocks himself out" technique.
