I just returned - or made good my escape - from TvTropes.org after several days of inmersion there. Man, that site is outright dangerous! And I'm almost afraid to ask, but do you knows other sites so... attractive?

Ever heard of http://www.cracked.com/? :p

And yes, TvTropes is addictive, once you open it you can't avoid opening a dozen new pages, and then more, and more...

TV Tropes would be even better if they banned animetards from contributing.

At least lists are collapsable and well categorised these days. It used to be just a list...filled with obscure shitty anime.
What angers me more though is the internet originals. People referencing their own shit.

Indeed.  Also it's like the old-style Wikipedia where individual editor fight it out on the main page.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The anime section is my favorite section.  :cool:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

youtube is my black hole.  I check out a clip, then a related one, and then I find myself watching some rare movie in 9 parts.

imdb.com.  You check out something about a movie you don't quite remember, click on the actor link, click on the link for another movie the actor was in...

An hour later, you have forgotten what it was you were originally looking for.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

As cliched as it is, Wikipedia is my downfall.  I spend hours upon hours researching arcana through the links, opening a million tabs along the way.

The "Crime Library" --   www.trutv.com/library/crime/  -- can also be a serious black hole for anyone fascinated with crime and criminals.
