To Eduardo:

The little picture is not a Zaku it’s a gelgoog.

The little picture is a Zaku not a Gundam. I feel like burning down this site.

Um, that little picture is from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, not Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Also, crazy man.

[sigh]
It astounds me that people have such poor impulse control. Sure, when I’m angry I think about breaking something. But then I remember that things *cost money* and I’ll only end up upsetting myself further for paying to replace the broken item. Or I’ll upset myself if I burn down my house in a bit of rage. But I suppose I shouldn’t expect these things of people. Who am I to expect them to think rationally?

August 10, 2009, Yoshifumi Takabe, a factory worker from Japan, almost burned himself to death at his mother’s home near Kobe in an effort to bring attention to the repressive policies of his mother’s regime, which controlled the disposal of his Gundam collection earlier. Factory worker Takabe asked the regime to lift its ban on maintaining valuable Gundam models, to grant Gundam modeling the same rights as needlework, and dinner-making, to stop detaining his internet usage, and to give factory workers the right to model Gundam.
