my.... fragile psyche....

(I must admit, the art is good, but WHY Iron Giant? That movie is innocent!)

[Singin' Stray Cat]

Uhhhhhhooookay.....:confused: my main question is...why??

[Jowy Blight]

*Homer Simpson scream* Burn it! Send it to hell! :eek:

[Sharklady]

GADS!!!!

Wrapping a semi-pornographic cover around a perfectly innocent kids' story?? That's got to be the most inappropriate marketing ploy I've ever encountered!!

[don Jaime]

I just CURED a headache. Now I have to start all over.

I knew I didn't want to click on that link. I realize that when something manages to disturb Rockitshipper, that it's truly a foul and twisted thing. But did I click on it anyway? I've got no one to blame but myself. :rolleyes:

[Psycho Fox]

Wow even being a regular at the Sex&Violence cartoon fest couldn't prepare me for that.

Until now I though the hentai where Tails turns out to be a bimbo in a fox suit was the weirdest one around but this is far weirder.

Hogarth is comforted by his mother (voicd by Jennifer Aniston in the movie). Interesting
situation! Then, Mom, takes on a gang at the diner, where she works.

ahhh ok after reading that I really don't want to find out more about the story.

And I too have to ask why? Erotic and Iron Giant just doesn't go together.

[GirChan]

Me again...

Actually, what motivates people to write such things about A KIDS MOVIE?!

God only knows what'll happen if the WB sees this.

I admit I was amused by the IG storyboard outtakes I heard about in my character animation class last year. (The teacher, Randy Myers, worked on IG and PPG)

But this... ick ick ick. It does me very good to see no bids on it.

It's fan-made and sold, but perfectly legal as long as it's under a certain print run in Japan. I found it while looking through the other auctions from the person selling a TPM doujinshi...

Ummm... Here we go, this is pretty and harmless. http://www.sukebepanda.com/itempics/kenny1.jpg

Well in Japan Pokémon, Digimon and dear old Sakura plus other anime favs are also attacked by the Hendi treatment.

They are sometimes imaganative with their stories though.

I once heard their was a clean one with Brock and Ash's mum.

[DR. BELCH]

I'm reminded of some of the hentai at http://www.sexylosers.com...which I've stopped going to because of the abusive, ignorant morons at the message board that ruin the experience. Still, that's some great art--I even suggested it'd make a great TV series, although I think the artist has too much integrity to sell out (or at least hasn't seen enough money on the table).
IG porn, eh? With enough imagination, anything can be filthed up...look at Pokemon (saw the ep with Brock licking the Pseudoweudo again the other day and tried to tell myself he was just grooming it like a mother dog licking her whelp...but I'm not sure it worked!). For the love of Sonny Tufts, what next--Mr. Rogers goes triple-X?

What's smut?

Anyway, I have one word for this. I'm not going to say it because A) I'll get kicked off the board, and B) You all know why I'm gonna say anyway.

Hmph, another bit of fanboy-written erotica based off of cartoon characters targeted towards a family audience...feh. Apparently people that never see one of the gazillion semi-pornographic comics available at a variety of comic book shops...or don't like Playboy/Hustler :-) Don't have anything against (legal) pornography, but this definitely doesn't float my boat (and can't imagine whose boat it *is* floating for that matter, or why....)

One suggestion for the lack of bids: Playboy/Hustler/etc. probably go for $5 or $6 down at the newsstand, and the comics I mentioned above going for $3-$5 (vs. $17 for a black-and-white comic written in Japanese that'll take days to get here ;-)

-B.

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

This is one of those times I really feel for humanity....this is sick. It's an insult to everyone not and actually involved with this? WHY the HECK do they do this?! (rehortical question) I'm with Danielle: the words I wanna use aren't allowed...

I wonder what next hentai thing will pop up....(shudders)

[Danielle]

Wanna know something worse? My father got an e-mail a couple of weeks ago. When he opened it, something started downloading. When it was finished, he opened it and saw this whole anime-hentai thing, with stuff that people under 60 shouldn't see (BTW, my father *is* under 60). That's just sick, sending this kind of---what was that word Dick Grayson used? Smut?---by e-mail. Scary thing is, my father usually asks me to check his e-mail for him. I was just plain lucky that my father decided to check his e-mail that day.

Unfortunately, we couldn't sue these sick people because we don't know where it came from. But if I ever do find them, I'll give them a knock, square in the jaw...

Plus there are websights that have adult cartoon art and most of them are FREE and gives more respect to the characters.

Well, there's the Internet as well I suppose...also I suppose the much-bigger-than-cartoon-stuff range of free *real* photos of real people available online for those seeking such stuff to choose from...

Either way, guess someone will do anything for a buck, though I'm more dismayed by the people who were trying to sell pieces of the World Trade Center building on eBay a week or two ago before eBay pulled their plub...

[Jowy Blight]

It doesn't really seem like it, I mean I think someone would of stoped that before it happened.

It'd be kind of hard to - they must make a million sales every couple of days. WTC sales were yanked that day, and I believe they still are, even postcards and other licensed WTC souveniers made and sold long before the towers fell. Right now they have a charity set up where portions of certain sales are earmarked for NY and DC relief. Ebay's trying, but they're the most popular auction site out there and it takes them a while to catch up.

Years later a sceintist was able to use that piece to discover that the Hindenburg burned not becose of the hydrogen but becouse the outer layer was weather proofed with what we now know as rocket fule.

Still don't think anyone should sell pieces of the WTC

[GirChan]

Selling pieces of the WTC?!?!?!

That's sick, really sick. The lowness people can stoop to these days is just disgusting.

there is a film of the Hindenburg burning - if you see it, you'll notice the hydrogen...

and what was the 'rocket fuel' weatherproofing? the germans were quite good with chemistry, and I'd love to hear that they used kerosene on top of hydrogen...

(trivia: the Hindenburg, like all airships, was designed to use (non-flammable) helium - at the time, the US was the only source for large quantities of helium, and had, in one of the few anti-nazi acts, embargoed helium, and the germans, rather than ground their 'pride and joy' derrigibles (sp), chose to use hydrogen)

The problem is that this formula was rocket fuel. Acording to recently found documents from the company that made the Hindenburg after the incedent they ran tests with fully working models of the Hindenburg and of Graf (The one before the Hindenburg) and they found that the Hindenburg model bursted into flames every time they grouned the model after giving it a static charge while the Graf didn't even though both had hydrogen in it.

They also went over the footage and made a note stating the fire spread all around the Hindenburg while a Hydrogen fire would stay above the it.

They (like scientist belive now) came to the conclusion that a spark on one of the outer panels caused the panel to get really hot really fast and ignited the weatherproofing thus causing a chain reaction.

If you look at the Hindenburg in slow motion you will notice that it floats level while burning for a few seconds meaning the hydrogen cells were intact for the first few moments of the fire.

Plus I don't see why you would want helium, Hydrogen was cheaper and by the time the Hindenburg came out they put in lots of safty features to make sure the gas was vented proportly.

[Sharklady]

I saw a NOVA episode on just this subject- they actually showed the researcher holding a match to that little Hindenburg piece, and it went up like dry kindling. I consider this new theory entirely plausible.

[DR. BELCH]

Psych is right about helium being too expensive...however, two French brothers in the 19th century found that simple heated air works well and is relatively cheap (all one needs is fuel for the fire). Simply speaking, hot air is lighter than cold--a phonomenon which can be observed in the shower when the curtain bulges inward and sticks to one's damp backside. Then, of course, the air was heated on the ground using wood or coal, and flights were shorter; today hot-air ballooons come equipped with small on-board gas burners and can stay up longer.
The weatherproofing with rocket fuel is a new one on me, though.
As for selling pieces of the Trade Towers...well, I don't object to people purchasing them for research or as curios (I've heard similar flap about old Nazi pariphanalia), but I have doubts about sullying the 'Net with such...[Sideshow Bob-esque shudder]. Then again, you're talking E-Bay. I recall one person there wanted to sell boogers for a nickel apiece....

Zeppelins only down side is they can only go as fast as a regular train (they are not exactly aerodynamic).

I didn't read all the posts in this thread yet. How did we go from Irion Giant porn to balloons????

Anyway, I see nobody has bid on that trash yet. I hope it stays that way.

I think going off topic sometimes can be good though, some of the most interesting topics start off that way! See, we've gone from Iron Giant porn to balloons to a topic about going off topic! :p

Anyway, I don't know anything about balloons or hentai, so I'll stop talking now...

[happyheathen]

OK gang:

define/differentiate:


hot-air vs lighter-than-air

balloon/blimp/zeppelin (aka dirigible, aka airship)

a 747-400 (current model) has a max takeoff weight of 875,000 lbs. - it would take a VERY large gas sack to lift that puppy

Only downside is the higher the gas pressure the lower its maximum altitude gets since the greater diffence between the pressure inside to outside the more strain there is on the fabric until it pops.

back to basics -

lift is a function of displacement.

increasing pressure would increase weight WITHOUT increasing lift.

increasing pressure would increase weight WITHOUT increasing lift. How some Zeppleins works.
hydrogen wants to be around very low density of air. Some Zepplein models used this idea by pressurizing the part of the hull that held the hydrogen sacks. The higher the presure out side the sack the more it wants to lift.
