ASAQE/GYROBOT UPDATE (Skip this post if you don't care about anime message board shenanigans...)

See this post for the previous installment of this epic saga of shocking betrayal!**

Well, AnimeSuki.com forum member Tabiree has scored a "hat trick", getting Zachary "Spokker Jones" Gutierrez of Something Awful to showcase anime message board posts from the infamous asaqe/gyrobot 3 weeks in a row in SomethingAwful.com's "Weekend Web" feature, celebrating ignoble acheivements in the field of message board postings, and, this time, not only did Gutierrez give gyrobot the whole bottom half of this page (starting with the fourth screencap), it continues at the top of the next page, with the infamous post about how 4Kids Entertainment CEO Al Kahn is a member of the KKK because he took a few obtuse Japanese references out of Japanese children's cartoons like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, never mind how unlikely it is that someone with a Jewish-sounding surname like "Kahn" would be a member of the anti-Jewish Ku Klux Klan.

Original posts: here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Tabiree pretty much blew his wad this week, so I'm not expecting to see any further posts from gyrobot/asaqe next week, unless the kid writes a few more hyperbolical posts, but I think that he's learned his lesson by now.

**"Epic Saga of Shocking Betrayal": what I like to call the club history of my now defunct anime club, which should be a three to four paragraph affair at most, but the history of our anime club went on for pages and pages and the writer was NOT afraid of naming everyone whom had ever slighted him at the club.
