I think both things qualify as prostitution... Corporate whores!
But then, on the other side of the coin, a lot of the time with this type of thing people think very little of it, because they're just clicking buttons and getting checks. Just like pirating movies that havn't gotten out of theaters, etc. It's just so easy... And when put in a situation like college where every penny counts, people will do anything... And well, I know I only need one kidney...
He's a bad man and he should be stopped before he starts attacking computers and potentially computer users who pira... *looks away from computer* Hey, who are you? GAAAAHHHHHH! *Blam. Blam.*

So, I'm thinking if you have a certain taste for brocoli, carrots, herbal tea, and celery, you have a very low risk of cancer... Whereas if you have a taste for chewing tobacco, fatty steaks, bacon, you have very high risk?
Was that in the movie? I don't really remember that in the series, but then again I watched the series a few years ago...

The sad thing is some of the greatest moments in EVA, both funny and deep, involve a bit of nudity and adult topics... For example, the time Shinji walks in on Rei, or on the ep where he's dreaming and you get to see the chicks topless, talking to him... It's sad... But we should at least wait and see before sending in hate mail.
I thought anime was nothing like Disney.... But I guess it is: They both love to kill off parents.
It's interesting that none of the characters have mothers. I had never really thought of it that way. Maybe that explains why they're so messed up.
But then again, Toji and Kensuke are somewhat normal.... Aside from Toji being a bit bullyish, and Kensuke being a total war nerd... One of the most interesting characters, though, imoho, is Ritsuko. You just gotta wonder about her, and her geeky nature...

I sure hope to god they don't take out the philisophical stuff. Or if they do, they'd better put it back on during adult swim.
I mean, Eva's just the same as any other dumb giant robo violence show if you cut out the deep stuff... But if you keep it all in...
But then again, what's the chances that a 12 year old will get it?
I wonder if Eva will bomb, perhaps, because it's so deep, as far as character development. There's Shinji, who's got 'hedgehog's predicament' and an absent father complex, and is weak and lets himself get bullied around, the aloof and devoid Rei, the emotionally supressive bully Asuka... the slutty yet emotionally fux0red drunk, Misato, Risuko, the geeky supressed girl, Koji the manwhore, Gendo Ikari, the absent father figure who would ignore his own son, Kensuke the neurotic war technology nerd with no mom, Toji the gentle giant/avenging knight, the 5th pilot, what's his name... the angel.... Yeah.
Take that Mihoshi, Sailor Moon, and Goku! Toonami just got a lot more philisophical...
I'm still worried that the deep philisophical nature of EVA could hurt toonami and make them loose ratings... But on the other side, there is a lot of nice pleasant violence!
But I want to see next the tech line up... With Serial Experiements Lain, Ghost in a shell, and Armitage 3.
*News report* "Children all over the US have started throwing themselves off buildings after seeing the first episode of serial experiement Lain on cartoon network. All these children were characterized by high internet addiction. Survivors said they hoped to come back as gods on the internet.
Or who knows, for Evangeleon, "Nerds have suddenly come into style, after the hero of Neon Genesis Evangeleon made his big Debut. All hail Shinji, the ultimate geek with power."
Well, maybe not... and plus, I think Tenchi is just as socially inept than Shinji anyways...
Well, if they're wanting to ban nerds from potentially dangerous toys, you might as well take away their graphing calculators and the cords. You can choke people with those things!
Is in fanfilms. Exiter wasn't bad, and the graphics were in some ways better than TOS graphics, lol. Anyhow, I think Star trek fanboys could create some pretty good fan-episodes and stuff.
Down with hollywood! Up with kids who build star trek sets in their parents basements!
Although if the Exiter people keep on churning out good stuff, they could *accidently* produce a major hit, like the blair witch project...
Still, the prospects of being able to implant these genes into animals and get human like results are probably pretty bad, due to the smaller brain size and chemistry. The thing is this gene could have released something that would have been deadly to some but safe for another. (and those who survived passed on the gene, the rest is evolution)
I wonder if dolphins or any other large intellegent animals have this?
Back to evolution, these days I think evolution is not likely to happen. Perhaps we must speed it up for ourselves. (Resistance is futile...)
But back to the topic, all this shows is that there is a gene for creativity and social nature, etc. So, does that mean creative (right brained, right?) people are superior?
And the RIAA is still up to it's same old empty threats and unjust lawsuits.
What I don't get is how the RIAA plans to enforce this... Unless they for a RIAA gestapo, or something like it. Or put spyware on corporations, which would get them in even more trouble. So there's really nothing they can do about it. Except spew the same old BS they've been spewing, and of course that type of stuff sells on slashdot, lol...
*slightly twitchy guy*
I used to be a mac user... And it was nice, you know, the pastel colors and easy engineering of it all... But it didn't suit my personality. I mean, I 'm the type that has nervous breakdowns every few minutes if you give me too much to do, and I'm a total conformist... That's why windows is so great for me...
Really? I did not know that. Well, I guess that explains why they're so evil: It's all a circle of evil corporations and in the center, the illuminatt...err... the RIAA. Yeah.
Lilo and Stitch was still the same old same old disney crap, you know. Fat guy and skinny guy humor, 1 dimentional characters, and a sugarcoating that you could choke on.
But then spirited away is the same old same old anime stuff, deep characters, weird plots, pretty lights (and redtinted!)... lol...

Hopefully Eva will last longer.
This makes the DNA computer suitable for solving "fuzzy logic" problem...
Could they make Bush's constant use of 'fuzzy math' make any more sense?

Haha, after I got expelled from school for joking about an anti-matter bomb, it is....
Ohh, I'm so afraid of terrorists building an anti matter bomb now! Or harnessing black holes to create massive weapons of mass destruction!
