Lengthy, vituperative attack on a somewhat controversial point made on page one. Much venemous language, insinuation of motive, and borderline junior modding.

> Reference to exceedingly lame flash cartoon originally posted on obscure japanese anime fanfic forum, consisting of ran-DOM WUUUUUURds spell-ed phon-ETIC-allllllllllllllyyyy to imply a tune, which is instantly recognisable to inhabitants of Osaka, and nowhere else.

Poster wanders in 80+ posts later to announce that his daughter is currently a foreign exchange student in Osaka, and a contributor to many a japanese anime fanfic forum who had, in fact, sent a link to the cartoon just a few weeks ago but the poster couldn’t make any sense of it since he doesn’t read Japanese, and that the poster and his wife are leaving for Osaka in 10 days to see their daughter and is anyone up for an Osaka Dopefest.

</div>

Rousing patriotic drivel. Call to arms. Argument, with chain of logical fallacies, positing its own conclusion. Staunch defense of conservatism. Invocation of traditional liberal buzzwords in strange new contexts signifying oppression. Stupifying attack on enemies of freedom. Clueless and misguided condemnation of Roger Moore.
