Impel Down on the White House petition site
-
-
lol my sides .
-
Only in America…
-
It would be hilarious if this actually happened!
-
wow, just wow. I wonder if it also would be secured by giant animals and people in devil costumes.
-
Until I clicked the link I didn't think it was LITERALLY about Impel Down. Wow XD
-
They better not forget Newkama Land.
-
Too bad there's that annoying thing named human rights.

Also International Waters not being a place the US can just go and build whatever in lol.

I cannot find the correct words to express my feelings about this.
Except the fact I'm laughing inside at the fact the thing only has two signatures. -
I see they need 99,998 signatures by this time next month. Do you think they can do it? I say they've got a great chance, since they've already got two in the last 24 hours. …Ok but seriously, I'm totally saving this before someone on that site deletes it.
Too bad there's that annoying thing named human rights.
But…but we can all sleep soundly at night because the bad peoples will be in hell on earth! Don't you want that? :'(
-
Guantanamo Bay makes Impel Down look like Disney Land.
! :ninja:
-
Oh wow!
-
…Not sure how to feel is the best way to describe this. Are they serious...?
-
I'm surprised there are even 10 people who signed that petition lol.
-
At the rate this is going, they'll have reached .0015% of their goal by the end of the month.

Still got their powerful message across

That, they did. If more people are swayed by S.S's words, they might be able to get 100,000 signatures before 2068. (I did the math. That is actually how long it would take.)
Also. Grammatical error.
@S.:"This prison could also be a dumping ground for the worse criminals…"

I noticed that typo. I cannot believe how many "official" documents are riddled with bad grammar. We had a progress presentation last week by a company we hired (and paid a lot of money), and the PowerPoint presentation was just a mess. I can't trust the professionalism of an advertising-based professional if they don't have someone who can proofread a presentation. I think the most annoying one I found was "any one" instead of "anyone."

When I worked for a (reasonably large) publisher, I kept coming across these in titles we sold to clients for large sums of money. Though when I saw that the style guide had an error right at the start, it didn't bode well. The worst thing I find are all the job vacancies that have atrocious spelling and grammar but who will reject your CV if you so much as use a colon instead of a semi-colon. I just think most corporations don't even care about proofing their material.

Damn. That's depressing. It's not like I was raised to be snobby or pretentious but things really don't give me a good impression if they have spelling or grammatical errors. In my case I wanted to say something but didn't want to be "that guy," you know? Oddly enough it's sometimes the little things that bother me more than the big things. Like okay, if you accidentally leave a letter off of the end of a word, then you made a mistake, and it should have been proofread, but at least I have reasonable confidence that you just overlooked the typo as opposed to actually thinking what you wrote is correct. But if I see people misuse semicolons, apostrophes, and hyphens, I start to question whether or not they even know grammar to begin with. Oops.

Ach. I typed semicolon as semi-colon because it seems a golden rule of the net that you can't complain about grammar without making a grammar mistake yourself. That said, it's not like these forum posts are in texts that people have paid upwards of £40 for.

I wrote "semi-colon" and then had doubts, went on Google, and then edited my post… << >>
But yes I'm talking about people who put out professional content. And when I'm chatting on IM or IRC I frequently leave out extraneous apostrophes and such. For example I type "youre" a lot. I say extraneous because there is no confusion there. I will always put one for "it's."
-
It was obviously made as a joke.
I wish people would stop doing stuff like that. There are other petition websites out there, you know. :/
-
We all hope it's fake. I honestly don't even know anymore with Americans. No I'm not joking; there is way too much evidence of petitions and behavior far dumber than this out there.

Dear Mr. Obama,
We, the gaming community, come to you now to inform you of Ninja Theory's heinous attempt at a Devil May Cry reboot. This game is a such a slap in the face to hardcore fans, that we feel it is an insult to our basic human rights. We humbly request that you travel to every store in the world that sells this abomination unto mankind, personally remove each copy from the shelves and demand that Capcom return the series to its proper roots. We would greatly appreciate it if you did us this favor. But don't just do it for the fans. Do it for freedom. For justice. For America.
Sincerely, DontayxVerjil666.

lol it would be funny if they take this into consideration. wonder what obama's reaction to this would be.
-
I will sign if they promise they will create some basilisks! Though I guess I cannot sign anyways, not being an American citizen…
I SUPPOSE it's a joke considering the sheer impossibility of building a prison similar to Impel Down. However, a very extremist stance to the treatment of prisoners, even approval of torture, is certainly more widespread in real life than one would wish, seeing that these things still happen in all sorts of prisons - so the joke thing cannot be completely confirmed...
-
Another problem with this is: Where would they find Demon Guards, blue axe-wielding gorillas, and all the other creatures? If they want a real life model of Impel Down, they should at least have the ferocious animals.
-
You hire cosplayers from furry conventions to do that. Obviously.
