NH State Rep: Anime Proves "Two Nukes Not Enough"

In 2003, acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, who has created many animated motion pictures, won an Oscar for "Spirited Away." Apparently, that's no evidence that anime is of any worth, as two nukes just weren't enough, at least for New Hampshire state representative Nick Levasseur (D).

Levasseur reportedly updated his Facebook status to say this on Thursday:

"anime is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough...."

You can watch a local news video below. The report goes on to state the obvious: the statement "could be deemed as insensitive toward the Japanese heritage." Er, however, it should also be obvious that it's not just the Japanese who watch anime.

Levasseur apologized, stating that the remark was meant to be private. That, of course, makes it all better. Who would want to nuke Kiki (above, from another Miyazaki film, "Kiki's Delivery Service."

Of course, the GOP in NH jumped on it immediately, asking NH's Gov. Lynch to ask his party to stop participating in such "shameful behavior," forgetting of course, Larry Craig, Paul Stanley, Mark Foley (and those are just some of the ones involved in sex scandals). This Levasseur incident is just foot in mouth disease, not dick in *** disease.

So if I said, "Woody Allen is the greatest example of why the holocaust just didn't go far enough" you'd all be on board?

Remember folks, if someone was a douchebag at any point, ever, in your own party, even in a completely different state, you can't ever cricticize douchebaggery by the other party again.

The only exception to this rule is if you are a Democrat and wish to cricticize a Republican.

Just to clarify my post, I found the last line funny. I don't mean to indicate that people shouldn't call him on his boneheaded comment. But similarly, I find it hilarious the extent that folks are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Similarly insensitive and brutal things have been said in jest here on these forums, and taken as funny. This is merely a case of a joke being inadvertently shared with the wrong audience.

Nah, just means you're a homophobe, right?

Think of the children!

Trying to turn him into a homophobic pedophile?

You're a sick bastard.

I thought I was a steed?
