No, I'm not kidding. Yes, there are people who actually subscribe to this. Yes, they are completely bonkers.
Now then, let me explain what this is all about. I visit a certain site every now and again, to read a weekly article known as "Hey Answerman!". Answerman is a guru of sorts, and will answer (almost) any question you have regarding anime/manga. At the end of every article is the "Flake of the Week", a retarded question sent in by a retarded person (in this case, "otakukin"). See for yourself...
(Answerman = bold font).

A week later...

Yeah... since we've had a wave of dumbasses sign up lately, I just wanted to show you the level of retardedness outside of EG.
