Because you were born before a certain year. And because implanting a song into your head is easier than sticking a crystal into your hand that changes colours when you hit a certain age (And only slightly more painful). Better be careful, Michael York is coming after you!
Kugai:
Sorry to disappoint, but Box got 'im first this time. :-P

Mini-realization: Dora has Marten to thank for the amazing pastries and meeting Jim, as without the break-up and subsequent awkwardness, Marten never would have found the coffee shop and have gotten Hannelore and such there.
(Even though, you know, the coffee shop is a butt and Padme is also a butt, according to Hanners. :D )

--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 06 Jul 2011, 15:24 ---I still don't get the CAD hate. Aside from that stupid storyline (which I should point out was four years ago), it's a generally amusing video game comic that I'm not ashamed to admit I read thrice weekly (and who can hate the yearly Space Archaeologist sagas?) It's not on the level of QC or xkcd, but to say it's Jersey Shore bad seems absurd.

There's also the slightly-racist comic he made a few months ago about how black people are loud in movie theaters. I've been trying to find it to put a link to it here but I guess the author did a pretty good job of making sure there's no evidence of his idiocy. If anyone can find a link so no one thinks I'm a liar that'd be great of you.

Here's the comic. However, if you read the newspost under the comic, he posts the original and says this:
--- Quote from: Tim ---I agonized the entire day about what to do with the script for today's comic. On the one hand, I felt the joke was funny, and ultimately harmless. But on the other hand, clearly any jab at a racial stereotype, no matter how playfully intended, is going to be a touchy topic for many people.
Allow me to first state that there was absolutely zero intention to offend anyone with today's comic. There was no ill-will, malicious agenda, or racism involved with arriving at the script for the comic. I am about as far from racist as a person can be.

I didn't think it was racist. I thought it was rather amusing, because I'm aware of the stereotype (and know enough black people who aren't loud in movies), so I saw it as poking fun at the whole thing.
Aaaaaaanyway...Jim is pretty awesome. Glad to see people start to respect him as a character. :-)

Well, well; I didn't even know that Opera had a built-in list of pages to be blocked until I clicked that link!
