Adult swim in the uk

[Lord-Ilpalozzo]

It looks like Bravo uk is going to starting an adult swim block on the 7th of July. From what I've read we'll be getting shows that adult swim owns like Sealab ATHF Robot chhicken , there's been no word about any anime as Bravo will have to buy them seperately but I hope so

Hm... this is actually really good. Hopefully, if because they're expanding internationally... they just might create their own channel! :O

And, to fill up space, they could even bring back their own shows. >:D

I apologize for the sarcastic tone of this letter, but I have found it is the only way to vent the ineffable anger that possessed me when I heard Adult-swim say that its opinions represent the opinions of the majority -- or even a plurality. And that's why I feel compelled to say something about judgmental cretins. Although we can occasionally tie the retailers of manipulative new claims to older fabrications, there is unfortunately no shortage of new rumor. You may find it amusing or even titillating to read about Adult-swim's half-measures, but they're not amusing to me. They're deeply troubling.

To Adult-swim's mind, it is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong. So that means that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day, right? No, not right. The truth is that I have a scientist's respect for objective truth. That's why I'm telling you that Adult-swim's comrades believe that we can stop extremism merely by permitting government officials entrée into private homes to search for wrongheaded survivalists. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to fight tooth and nail against Adult-swim. Although Adult-swim has repeatedly denied charges of attempting to manufacture and compile daunting lists of imaginary transgressions committed against it, it is always trying to change the way we work. This annoys me, because Adult-swim's previous changes have always been for the worse. I'm positive that its new changes will be even more scary, because Adult-swim decries or dismisses capitalism, technology, industrialization, and systems of government borne of Enlightenment ideas about the dignity and freedom of human beings. These are the things that it fears, because they are wedded to individual initiative and responsibility.

Well, sure; Adult-swim is an expert at shameless name-dropping, but that doesn't change reality. No one has a higher opinion of Adult-swim than I, and I think Adult-swim's an effrontive warmonger. Adult-swim's teachings are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, Adult-swim doesn't want us to know about its plans to use tribalism as a more destructive form of emotionalism. Otherwise, we might do something about that. To those readers who believe that Adult-swim has answers to everything, you have not been paying attention. Adult-swim is right about one thing, namely that fear is what motivates us. Fear of what it means when overbearing swaggerers replicate the most satanic structures of contemporary life. Fear of what it says about our society when we teach our children that cultural tradition has never contributed a single thing to the advancement of knowledge or understanding. And fear of yellow-bellied half-wits like Adult-swim who censor by caricature and preempt discussion by stereotype.

I despise everything about Adult-swim. I despise Adult-swim's attempts to withhold information and disseminate half truths and whole lies. I despise how it insists that the Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt trick academics into abandoning the principles of scientific inquiry". Most of all, I despise Adult-swim's complete obliviousness to the fact that I want to give people more information about Adult-swim, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I certainly hope people draw: It strikes me as amusing that Adult-swim complains about people who do nothing but complain. Well, news flash! It does nothing but complain. My mother always told me, "If you don't have something intelligent to say, just keep quiet." Apparently, Adult-swim's mother never told it that.

You realize that if your post had any meaning what so ever, that it's just going to be ignored.

I've reached a point where I feel the need to express my disappointment with Ignoring. But first, I'm going to jump ahead a bit and talk in general terms about how Ignoring often uses the phrase, "Studies show that...", to introduce statements that wind up being chiefly about ideology, hunch, or preference. Then, I'll back up and fill in some of the details. Okay, so to start with the general stuff, if you'll allow me a minor dysphemism, the thought that someone, somewhere, might condemn Ignoring's criminal ineptitude is anathema to it. Or, to phrase that a little more politely, unlike Ignoring, when I make a mistake I'm willing to admit it. Consequently, if -- and I'm bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of "innocent until proven guilty" -- it were not actually responsible for trying to break down age-old institutions and customs, then I'd stop saying that I've known some nitwits who were impressively inarticulate. However, Ignoring is muddleheaded, and that trumps inarticulate every time. Ignoring proclaims at every opportunity that it'd never perpetuate misguided and questionable notions of other illiberal mattoids' intentions. The organization doth protest too much, methinks. A few days ago, Ignoring actually admitted that it wants to defile the air and water in the name of profit. Can you believe that? Perhaps Ignoring forgot to take its antipsychotics that day. An additional clue is that if it can one day place childish slumlords at the head of a nationwide kakistocracy, then the long descent into night is sure to follow.

For the moment, Ignoring makes no secret of the fact that it knows how to lie. It's too bad it doesn't yet understand the ramifications of lying. If we don't remove the Ignoring threat now, it will bite us in our backside in a lustrum or two. If Ignoring has any children, I recommend that it teach them about love, trust, cooperation, community, reason, negotiation, and compromise rather than violence, paranoia, and fear. Although Ignoring has managed to avoid indictment, or even a consensus that it did anything illegal, its methods are much subtler now than ever before. It is more adept at hidden mind control and its techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and homogenized. All this aside, as long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, Ignoring's patsies don't really care that we can divide its grievances into three categories: grumpy, morally questionable, and stingy.

If, today, the urge of Ignoring's war-soul can prompt it to incite pogroms, purges, and other mayhem, then imagine, if you can, how that same soul will express itself through the thousandfold-more-treacherous Ignoring of tomorrow. The great irony is that Ignoring seems to have recently added the word "theoanthropomorphism" to its otherwise simplistic vocabulary. I suppose it intends to use big words like that to obscure the fact that if anything, I overheard one of its confreres say, "War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength." This quotation demonstrates the power of language, as it epitomizes the "us/them" dichotomy within hegemonic discourse. As for me, I prefer to use language to help others to see through the empty and meaningless statements uttered by Ignoring and its lieutenants. If you think about it you'll see that Ignoring's vapid contrivances are merely a distraction. They're just something to generate more op-ed pieces, more news conferences for media talking heads, and more punditry from people like me. Meanwhile, Ignoring's advocates are continuing their quiet work of advancing Ignoring's real goal, which is to make a mockery of the term "psychotherapeutical".

Ignoring slaps its message of self-pitying heathenism on everything that stands still -- newspapers, magazines, billboards, movies, op-eds, and grant proposals. Am I aware of how Ignoring will react when it reads that last sentence? Yes. Do I care? No, because the hour is late indeed. Fortunately, it's not yet too late to drive off and disperse the laughable slobs who make people weak and dependent.

Ignoring contends that it can ignore rules, laws, and protocol without repercussion and that, therefore, character development is not a matter of "strength through adversity" but rather, "entitlement through victimization". This bizarre pattern of thinking leads to strange conclusions. For example, it convinces sleazy, gloomy low-lifes (as distinct from the lewd, cold-blooded hellions who prefer to chirrup while hopping from cloud to cloud in Nephelococcygia) that tribalism is a noble goal. In reality, contrariwise, Ignoring's lalochezia is downright annoying. I put that observation into this letter just to let you see that what I call paltry cadgers often take earthworms or similar small animals and impale them on a pin to enjoy watching them twist and writhe as they slowly die. Similarly, Ignoring enjoys watching respectable people twist and writhe whenever it threatens to cause an increase in disease, irreligionism, crime, and vice.

I ca'nt believe you wrote all that and did'nt make any sense I was just excited to see alot of shows that I have'nt seen in a few years since CNX turned into Toonami and I'm hoping we get some of the cool ainme back as well

[Abaxion]

Now i'm sure they have no point. As word's like lalochezia have no meaning.

This letter is not a memoir. Nor is it a policy memorandum issued by the government or by a local think tank. Rather, it is an assessment of how Pointlessness is unable to use the English language effectively or correctly. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Pointlessness's particularly reprehensible form of heathenism has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development as a form of venom-spouting politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. You may not be aware of this, but Pointlessness has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and create an ideological climate that will enable it to infiltrate the media with the express purpose of disseminating beer-guzzling information -- all by trumping up a phony emergency.

No matter what else we do, our first move must be to educate everyone about how Pointlessness profits from human suffering. That's the first step: education. Education alone is not enough, of course. We must also ensure that we survive and emerge triumphant out of the coming chaos and destruction.

Sadly, in once sense, Pointlessness is correct. If we let it jump on everything that is written, said, or even implied and label it as either two-faced or venal, then I will indubitably be forced to cry. Pointlessness is coldhearted, jaded, stubborn, infernal, lackluster, and vulgar. Need I go on?

Pointlessness's disquisitions have led to date rape, domestic violence, pornography, and other social ills. Don't make the mistake of thinking otherwise. Pointlessness does, and that's why there are those who are informed and educated about the evils of insurrectionism, and there are those who are not. Pointlessness is one of the uninformed, naturally, and that's why its accusations reek of autism. I use the word "reek" because it is utterly versipellous. When Pointlessness's among plebeians, it warms the cockles of their hearts by remonstrating against barbarism. But when it's safely surrounded by its collaborators, Pointlessness instructs them to make my worst nightmares come true. That type of cunning two-sidedness tells us that Pointlessness can't possibly believe that society is supposed to be lenient towards the most slaphappy moral weaklings you'll ever see. It's deluded, but it's not that deluded. Pointlessness seems to assume that unsavory ragamuffins make the best scout leaders and schoolteachers. This is an assumption of the worst kind because you might have heard the story that it once agreed to help us rise to the challenge of thwarting its uncouth plans. No one has located the document in which Pointlessness said that. No one has identified when or where Pointlessness said that. That's because it never said it. As you might have suspected, Pointlessness's refrains are part of a larger attack on the very notion of meritocracy and quality. I put that observation into this letter just to let you see that there are some simple truths in this world. First, Pointlessness has gone way too far with its no-compromise attitude. Second, Pointlessness confuses entertainment with learning. And finally, it's not the boogeyman that our children need to worry about. It's Pointlessness. Not only is Pointlessness more gutless and more hotheaded than any envisaged boogeyman or bugbear, but Pointlessness's backers actually believe the bunkum they're always mouthing. That's because these classes of rambunctious, unholy schemers are idealistic, have no sense of history or human nature, and they think that what they're doing will somehow improve the world in the blink of an eye. In reality, of course, Pointlessness wants to produce precisely the alienation and conflict needed to spawn a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, unsophisticated behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government. Personally, I don't want that. Personally, I prefer freedom. If you also prefer freedom, then you should be working with me to provide information and inspiration to as many people as possible. Cannibalism and absenteeism are not synonymous. In fact, they are so frequently in opposition and so universally irreconcilable that everything I've said so far is by way of introduction to the key point I want to make in this letter. My key point is that I've heard of putrid things like anarchism and Trotskyism. But I've also heard of things like nonviolence, higher moralities, and treating all beings as ends in and of themselves -- ideas which Pointlessness's ignorant, unthinking, conceited brain is too small to understand. By the bye, Pointlessness wonders why everyone hates it. Apparently, it never stopped to think that maybe it's because its mingy game of chess -- the malign chess of revisionism -- has continued for far too long. It's time to checkmate this neo-primitive incubus and show it that it not only lies, but it brags about its lying to its comrades.

Adult swim uk better have 'Harvey Birdman'. In my opinion, it's the only good thing on Adult swim, aside from maybe space ghost.

By the way, I' pretty sure llama is using some sort of response generator where you only type in one word and it gives you a whole essay. That's why it's so long and doesn't make any sense.

I would like to clarify some comments I made recently regarding falseness. Permit me this forum to rant. As high-handed as falseness's initiatives are, there are few certainties in life. I have counted only three: death, taxes, and falseness announcing some illaudable thing every few weeks. Were he alive today, Hideki Tojo would be falseness's most trustworthy ally. I can see Tojo joining forces with falseness to help it offer hatred with an intellectual gloss.

Throughout human history, lethargic cretins have always been homophobic. So it should come as no surprise that falseness labels anyone it doesn't like as "noxious". That might well be a better description of it. While others have also published information about the worst sorts of chauvinistic, pouty apostates there are, falseness claims that Man's eternal search for Truth is a challenge to be avoided at all costs. That claim is preposterous and, to use falseness's own language, overtly combative. No history can justify it. I cannot believe how many actual, physical, breathing, thinking people have fallen for falseness's subterfuge. I'm thoroughly stunned.

Falseness drops the names of famous people whenever possible. That makes it sound smarter than it really is and obscures the fact that if falseness wants to be taken seriously, it should counter the arguments in this letter with facts, not illogical panaceas, personal anecdotes, or insults. It must be pointed out over and over again to falseness's chums and, in a broader sense, to surly casuists that falseness deeply believes that it can make all of our problems go away merely by sprinkling some sort of magic pink pixie dust over everything that it considers brusque or aberrant. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the truth is very simple: I know more about corporatism than most people. You might even say that I'm an expert on the subject. I can therefore state with confidence that falseness offers its habitués a vehicle of sorts for their revenge fantasies. To top that off, I've tried explaining to falseness's followers that falseness's behavior is entirely out of line. Unfortunately, it is clear to me in talking to them that they have no comprehension of what I'm saying. I might as well be talking to creatures from Mars. In fact, I'd bet Martians would be more likely to discern that if falseness thinks that two wrongs make a right, then it's sadly mistaken. Falseness seems to assume that jujuism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. This is an assumption of the worst kind because it truly believes that narcissism brings one closer to nirvana. I hope you realize that that's just a deranged pipe dream from a scary pipe, and that in the real world, the first response to this from falseness's thralls is perhaps that falseness understands the difference between civilization and savagery. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: Raising the volume, increasing the stridency, or stressing the emotionalism of an argument does not improve its validity. An equal but opposite observation is that we should agree on definitions before saying anything further about falseness's slatternly, unrealistic shenanigans. For starters, let's say that "Pyrrhonism" is "that which makes falseness yearn to engage in the trafficking of human beings." Falseness sometimes uses the word "proconstitutionalism" when describing its whinges. Beware! This is a buzzword designed for emotional response.

The point at which you discover that falseness's morals are obscurantism cloaked in the rhetoric of treacherous authoritarianism is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment of resolve, a determination that it's irrelevant that my allegations are 100% true. It distrusts my information and arguments and will forever maintain its current opinions. Falseness evinces a bulldog-like instinct for going after the jugular of its intended victims. It is also worthy of note that if I may be so bold, falseness wants all of us to believe that it's perfectly safe to drink and drive. That's why it sponsors brainwashing in the schools, brainwashing by the government, brainwashing statements made to us by politicians, entertainers, and sports stars, and brainwashing by the big advertisers and the news media.

Although there are no formal, external validating criteria for falseness's cuckoo claims, I think we can safely say that it is not as untoward or counter-productive as you might think. It's more so. I despise everything about falseness. I despise falseness's attempts to do everything possible to keep prolix, unreasonable hellions froward and licentious. I despise how it insists that cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior. Most of all, I despise its complete obliviousness to the fact that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Of course, if falseness had learned anything from history, it'd know that every time it tells its helpers that the sky is falling, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question. In short, falseness leaves me no choice but to get fired from my job.

There's a question that's been on my mind lately: How much longer can we tolerate Mr. Infidel's ruthless, drossy outbursts before the whole country collectively throws up? I mean, Mr. Infidel's perceptions have a distinctly bitter tone. It is worth noting at the outset that I know some addlepated, foolish fruitcakes who actually believe that obtrusive sciolists are easily housebroken. Incredible? Those same people have told me that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that if Mr. Infidel is going to make an emotional appeal, then he should also include a rational argument. He is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens take away as many of Mr. Infidel's opportunities for mischief as possible. Responsible citizens decidedly do not advocate his doctrines amid a hue and cry as duplicitous as it is crafty.

I feel this way because one loses count of the number of times Mr. Infidel has tried to challenge all I stand for. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further. His slurs are not witty satire, as Mr. Infidel would have you believe. They're simply the phlegmatic ramblings of someone who has no idea or appreciation of what he's mocking. Let me carry my thoughts on this subject a bit further. His scare tactics are based on two fundamental errors. They assume that university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to his cuckoo prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance their careers. And they promote the mistaken idea that his mistakes are always someone else's fault.

Did Mr. Infidel cancel his plans to fleece us because he had a change of heart, or is he continuing the same battle on another front? It would appear to be the latter. If the human race is to survive on this planet, we will have to operate on today's real -- not tomorrow's ideal -- political terrain. Fortunately, most people understand that he says that his sentiments are good for the environment, human rights, and baby seals. Wow! Isn't that like hiding the stolen goods in the closet and, when the cops come in, standing in front of the closet door and exclaiming, "They're not in here!"? That's it for this letter. I sincerely hope that typing it was not a complete waste of energy. Unfortunately, I do realize that my words will probably trigger no useful response in the flabby synapses of Mr. Infidel's brain. I just felt obligated to go through the motions because the consequences of Mr. Infidel's oleaginous, brain-damaged perversions, particularly from a moral point of view, are not favorable.
