Welcome to Gaia! ::


One thing. Before you respond, read the entire first page.
I'm sick of people posting "Who wants to ban my anime????" when if they'd just ******** READ, they'd already KNOW the answer.


There's a petition going around, and everyone has their panties in a bunch about it. But I think you should know it's a fake. However, that's not why I called you here.

I just want to tell you a story.

Eric Sleator McGill
Once upon a time there was a dear little chicken named Chicken Little.
One morning as she was scratching in her garden, a pebble fell off the roof and hit her on the head.
"Oh, dear me!" she cried, "the sky is falling. I must go and tell the King," and away she ran down the road.


By and by she met Henny Penny going to the store. "Where are you going?" asked Henny Penny.
"I'm going to tell the King the sky is falling," answered Chicken Little.
"How do you know the sky is falling?" asked Henny Penny.
"Because a piece of it fell on my head," she replied. "May I go with you?" begged Henny Penny. "Certainly," answered Chicken Little, and she hastened on, followed by Henny Penny. Turning up a shady lane they met Cocky Locky.
"Where are you two going?" asked Cocky Locky.
"Oh, we are going to tell the King the sky is falling," answered Henny Penny.
"How do you know?"
"Chicken Little told me," said Henny Penny.
"A piece of it fell on my head," cried Chicken Little. "May I go with you?" asked Cocky Locky. "Certainly," answered Chicken Little.
Then away went the three, Chicken Little, Henny Penny and Cocky Locky.
By and by they came to a pond where they met Ducky Daddles.
"Where are you three going?" he asked.
"The sky is falling and we are going to tell the King," answered Cocky Locky.
"How do you know?" asked Ducky Daddies. "Henny Penny told me," said Cocky Locky. "Chicken Little told me," said Henny Penny. "'A piece of it fell on my head," cried Chicken Little.
"May I go with you?" asked Ducky Daddies.


"Certainly," they answered.
By and by whom should they meet but Goosey Poosey, carrying a basket of gooseberries to market.
"Where are you four going?" she asked.
"The sky is falling and we are going to tell the King," answered Ducky Daddles.
"How do you know it is falling?" asked Goosey Poosey.
"Cocky Locky told me,"answered Ducky Daddles.
"Henny Penny told me," said Cocky Locky.
"Chicken Little told me," said Henny Penny.
"A piece of it fell on my head," cried Chicken Little. "May I go with you?" asked Goosey Poosey. "Certainly," said Chicken Little.
Then Goosey Poosey followed Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, and Ducky Daddles until they met Turkey Lurkey.
"Where are you five going?" asked Turkey Lurkey.
"The sky is falling and we're going to tell the king," answered Goosey Poosey.
"How do you know?" asked Turkey Lurkey.


"Ducky Daddies told me so," answered Goosey Poosey. "Cocky Locky told me," answered Ducky Daddles. "Henny Penny told me," said Cocky Locky. "Chicken Little told me," said Henny Penny.
"A piece of it fell on my head," cried Chicken Little. "May I go with you?" asked Turkey Lurkey.
"Certainly," said Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Daddies and Goosey Poosey.
So away they went until they met Gander Pander. "Where are you six going?" he asked.
"The sky is falling and we are going to tell the King." "How do you know?" asked Gander Pander. "Goosey Poosey told me," said Turkey Lurkey. "Ducky Daddies told me," said Goosey Poosey. "Cocky Locky told me," said Ducky Daddles.
"Henny Penny told me," said Cocky Locky. "Chicken Little told me," said Henny Penny.
"A piece of it fell on my head," cried Chicken Little. "May I go with you?" asked Gander Pander. "Certainly," answered all the little feathered folks.
By and by they became tired, and sat down to rest, when out from behind the rocks jumped Foxy Loxy.
"Where are you all going?" he asked, with a sly grin.
"The sky is falling and we are going to tell the King," they all replied together.
"How do you know?" asked Foxy Loxy squinting his wicked eyes.
"Turkey Lurkey told me," said Gander Pander.


"Goosey Poosey told me," said Turkey Lurkey. "Ducky Daddies told me," said Goosey Poosey. "Cocky Locky told me," said Ducky Daddies. "Henny Penny told me," said Cocky Locky. "Chicken Little told me," said Henny Penny.
"A piece of it fell on my head," cried Chicken Little, "and we are going to tell the King."
"You are not going the right way. Shall I show it to you?" said Foxy Loxy.
"Oh, certainly," they all answered at once and followed Foxy Loxy, until they came to the door of his cave among the rocks.
"This is a short way to the King's Palace; you'll soon get there if you follow me. I will go in first," said Foxy Loxy.'
Just as the little feathered folks crowded around the dark narrow hole, eager to follow the sly fox, a little gray squirrel, with very bright eyes, jumped out from behind the bushes and whispered to them: "Don't go in, don't go in, all your little necks he'll wring, and you'll never see the King."
But the sharp ears of Foxy Loxy heard the warning, and, quick as a wink, he turned and caught Gander Pander.
Just as he was about to twist Gander Pander's neck, the little squirrel threw a big stone and hit the old fox right on the head.
"The sky surely is falling," groaned Foxy Loxy, creeping into the darkest corner of his cave.
Happy to escape from the wicked old fox, away ran Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Daddies, Goosey Poosey, Turkey Lurkey and Gander Pander.

By and by they came to the beautiful palace in which lived the wise King, and upon being brought before him, they all shouted at once; "Good and wise King, we have come to warn you that the sky is falling!"
"How do you know the sky is falling?" asked the King. "Because a piece of it fell on my head," said Chicken Little.
"Come nearer, Chicken Little," said the King and leaning from his velvet throne, he picked the pebble from the feathers of Chicken Little's head.
"You see it was only a little pebble and not part of the sky at all," said the King. "Go home in peace and do not fear because the sky cannot fall; only rain falls from the sky."



Weary but wiser, the little feathered folks left the palace and started on their long journey homeward.

Chicken Little is hurrying
Umbrella 'neath her wing.

She thinks the sky is falling fast
So goes to tell the King.

But, after she has spread the news
And all is told and said

The good old King just laughs at her
And sends her home instead


Now. I realize MOST of you won't get the point, but really. The sky isn't falling, anime isn't getting banned.

It's a ******** WEB petition, for ******** sake. Not exactly something that carries any LEGAL weight.
Spread the word man.....spread the word 3nodding
:hugs Grendal: You truly know how to get your point across.
*adds to her menaingful threads list*
Grendel, honey, someone already posted this thread. Why didn't you add it to theirs instead of making another one?


Ooooooooooooorrrrr, could it have been your nefarious plot to create just as many threads about how it isn't going to happen as there are saying it will happen?? I could see you doing that actually....

*gashp* A fiendish plot to be sure... gonk
I signed the damn petition just as a joke.

"Anime is breeding a generation of newbies and morons. It must be stopped! Then, we can start persecuting anyone who likes inuyasha. Anime is evil! It will burn your crops, rape your wives, and eat your children! Then... I will start a petition to ban math. Becuase, well math is evil."

Its best to answer sarcasm with sarcasm.

math is evil at times.... and Petitions are mostly fake. It's not like someone's going to print that damn page, run to the white house and shove it in front of Bush's face and say, "READ. NOW."

Honestly? You're right, and I really laboured over whether or not I should create a new thread about it. And the reason I finally decided to do it is that the people I'm trying to reach will BARELY read the first post of any thread before filling it up with their own slotting drek. So . . . I wanted to make absolutely certain that the first thing they saw was me comparing them to Chicken Little.
I can't wait for the next idiot who doesn't even bother reading beyond the topic line. stare

Grendel, you are an inspiration to us all, next only to Jayp. wink

It saddens me to think that very few will actually read the whole story...
All good points!
