Further Misadventures in YouTube Land
Since the 'night of a thousand WTFs' last month, I've been doing more of my television watching on youtube (which doesn't say much since I don't really watch TV anymore). However, during the course of my viewership I have come across a startling fact: The Animaniacs actually speak JAPANESE. Really badly American-accented Japanese, but Japanese all the same.
Let that sink in for a bit.
Now then. I'm betting the cynics out there are going "Oh come now, you cannot POSSIBLY mean to tell me that an old 1995 American cartoon series with American voice actors acknowledged the existence of any other language besides English" or something along those lines. Well, if you search for "The Taming of the Screwy" part 3 and/or "Space-Probed" part 1 on youtube, you'll be able to hear the lines in question as long as you have your speakers turned up high enough for you to hear what they're saying....even if you can't actually understand what they're saying. Unless of course you speak Japanese, but that's a different topic of conversation altogether =P
Of course, if you happen to be one of those narrow-minded people who are going "Aren't you a little too old to be watching cartoons?", you can bugger off and leave me alone while I enjoy a classic series that has infinitely better writing than some of the drivel I see on TV nowadays, so THERE. Lousy closed-minded fools who can't appreciate a good thing even if it comes up and smacks them in the face in a dark alley at night....BAH!...
