Childhood Memories Ruined by the Internet?

Posted by michael on from the slash-fiction dept.

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."

    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.

      Now that Carrie Fisher looks like one of my math teachers, my childhood memories of her in that aluminum bikini are ruined. Well, there's always Veronica Hamel from Hill Street Blues.

    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.

    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!
