So I caught word that a hacker had taken over Odex’s website and left a message about the company’s evil-ness. It’s truly heinous and makes otaku look terrible. I mean, first off, look at the color scheme. Pink? yeah, okay, if you’re a hacker and a 12-year-old girl.
As much as it’s a relief to be told once and for all that Odex is bad AND evil– not just one or the other! –the message is painful to read…mostly because the grammar s atrocious. “What happended?” “Don’t get catched?” Maybe you ARE a 12-year-old hacker.
You sure are making us anime fans look smart!

Looks as though it was sent through Babelfish. I’ll just assume that English is the hacker’s second language…or something.
And hey, if you’re going to hack, make it obnoxious. He/She should add some rainbow gradients in there too.

You know there are some otaku hackers out there for whom English is a secondary language, right? And I’ve seen worse from folks whose first language IS English…..

@mike: Oh, damn! Did I forget that the Internet is Serious Business again? Shit, I hate it when I forget that I’m not allowed to make fun of things on the web!

Indeed, the internet is Serious Business, that is why you are raising such a fuss over this little hack saying that it ‘makes otaku look bad’ and so forth.

Though they way they handle their anime is crap, what they are doing about fansubs isnt wrong at all.

@mike: You’re right. The Internet is Serious Business, and therefore I am 100% serious when I say that this person makes otaku look bad.
…Wait, what? I’ve lost track of who’s kidding about what now. I’ll make my side straight: I don’t give a damn about this person or how they make otaku look. I made fun of Odex for getting hacked, and I made fun of the hacker for not using spell-check. In case you’re new here, I make fun of everything. Including myself, frequently.
Now, what were you kidding about?
