Well, I think most of us on here can relate to your story in one way or another. I can remember when I was in college and a friend of mine set up a Heavy Metal show on the campus radio station (WPTS or something, it was the University of Pittsburgh). I interviewed him for a school magazine and one of the topics that came up was the court case in Colorado where parents of a teen that committed suicide were trying to blame either Iron Maiden or Judus Priest (anyone here that remembers please send details) because the kid liked to listen to that group.
As usual, the fact that the teen had other major problems with his life was beside the point as far as the media was concerned, but it didn't escape me or my friend.
And unless my memory fails me, it didn't escape the jury either.
I'm also an anime fan, so I know that the first time someone does another of these massacre things and a bunch of anime tapes are found in his residence, the bad karma will be head straight in my direction!
