A weekly look into American otaku culture

This page got a huge laugh out of me today, and I want to share it with you all. Enjoy!

Also, can anyone give me any info on the song? What is it? What is it from? What are the real lyrics?

Edit: Sorry for the repost! Had some technical problems last night so I had to post this again today. (^^;)

You see, I have no more money because I am both a college student and hardcore anime fan. So desperate times call for desperate measures, and that’s why your good ol’ Scotty has sold out. Since the beginning of the summer, I’ve been experimenting with putting paid advertisements on my website. After a couple of months of testing, I’ve chosen two different programs to promote on my blog. The first one would be the ever-popular Google and their ad service. They post links to other websites with relevant content on them to my own. For the most part, all the links are for either anime stores or blogging websites, which I think appeals to my readers. I get paid for every click you guys make. So if you guys see something that even remotely catches your eye, please click on it. You can always just hit the back button right afterwards, but you’ll be helping out yours truly with no effort at all.

I think the coolest program would have to be Amazon.com on that little side bar I have on the right there. When they ask me what kind of stuff I wanted to advertise, I just simply said “manga.” The results are nothing short of perfect to what I had in mind. Fruits Basket, Fullmetal Alchemist, Genshiken… these are all the books that I buy myself! I’m tempted to label the ad, “Scott’s Recommendations” because it’s that damn good. So I’ve added a list of my 10 most recently purchased DVDs and tankoubon on top of the ad. You’ll get to see what I’m currently reading, plus maybe be tempted to try it out yourself. While Waldenbooks and Borders are the best stores to shop for manga, Amazon.com it really the best place to do so on the internet. As long as you spend over $25 (roughly 3 tankoubon), your order is tax and shipping free.

However, I personally understand that many people hate ads with a passion. Hell, I’m one of those people too! I don’t want to lose you guys as readers because of them. So here’s a step-by-step way of making sure that you can view this site ads-free from now on:

1) Make sure that you are using Firefox. If you do not have Firefox, then .
2) Download and install the Adblock extension.
3) Download this .txt file onto your computer.
4) In Firefox, go into the Adblock preferences (under “Tools -> Adblock”).
5) In the preferences, import the .txt file (under “Adblock Options -> Import Filters”).
6) If asked, just say “OK” to everything, and then no more ads!

Of course, that’s not going to block the Amazon links I might put in my posts from time to time, but at least you can get rid of the Google links and Amazon image ads with this method.

If you have any other comments or suggestions on the ads on this site or how to remove them, please don’t hesitate to comment below. Otherwise, I thank all of you for supporting me by checking out these ads or just simply continuing to visit my blog. ^_^
