It might be best not to go there, even in jest. Nothing good will come of it.

Much less respect for him now, he could have at least chosen a real Pokemon.

I don't think this really belongs here. It's only tangentially related to anime, manga or Japanese culture and isn't particularly noteworthy.

I suppose Snowden never played beyond the Kanto games and thus isn't informed that Missingno isn't really a mon.
Still it's kind of appropriate.

Must be. I bet half of the people on this site don't even know who Edward Snowden is.

I was like "what is an Anime Maru post doing on ANN's RSS feed?.." guess it wasn't bugged after all.

This one is all too close to the "stretching it a bit much" to have relevance to anime/Japanese cultural, unless the tweet had on a follow up line was about Snowden being critical on Prime Minister Abe.

wow you people are such babies. missingno is one of the best pokemon, snowden knows full well that its a bug, and does it really bother you much for them to report on this? its amusing and certainly a lot more interesting than the daily "love live earns a lotta money"

...I'm saying it's appropriate that someone like Snowden likes a 'mon' that is not supposed to be in the game and a potentially harmful glitch.
Never in my post did I talk about the appropriateness if this being news, like everyone else did. I'm not interested in calling ANN out for posting whatever they want.
@Arale Kurashiki: Touchy, aren't you?

Oh how quick people are to tell us what we can see or not. I could really care less what Snowden's favorite Pokemon is, but it is news related to the anime community no matter how tangentially. Some people will find it interesting, some others will find it funny, others will not care, and lastly, some people will hate it because it is about Snowden.

If this thread wants to stay open, posters in it will have to keep their cool.
