I'm not going to watch this because I just know this is going to make me immensely angry. But in what I'm sure is related, what really pisses me the hell off is this prevalent idea of "God sent this natural disaster to punish people!"
NO, NO, NO HE DID NOT. "But it's in the Bible!" NO, ACTUALLY, IT IS NOT. In all of the stories where God causes Natural Disaster A to destroy City B, the following happens: - God is unhappy with City B. - God tells someone (a prophet, judge, chosen person, etc.) that he is going to destroy City B at this time for this reason, unless City B repents of what it has done wrong. - Prophet or judge goes to the town and tells them all this. He tells them that city will be destroyed in a certain way, at a certain time, for a certain reason, unless people of the town change their ways

I WAS JUST THINKING THIS THE OTHER DAY. 99% of the stories have actual Warning with it at some point, right? I leave the 1 there because knowing my memory... :[
That said, I'm sure Japan has crazy people like we do, re; REPENT and all that stuff. So...:/
Yeah, I believe that was usually the point of them. There may have been one without a warning, Bible is full of small stories that I can't remember, but as far as I can remember (Noah and the Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah, Ninevah and the like) there was always a warning and prophet involved.
I resisted watching this, and I'm glad, because I know it would have made me mad. Thankfully, it's gotten taken down, and I heard that /b/ got ahold of her personal information and trolled her out of her mind until she came out as a troll herself.
That doesn't change the fact that this is in the absolute poorest taste. I don't care if it's a joke, I don't see how these kinds of things can be construed as funny. It blows my mind.
Oh man, you'd better watch out Shaela! LJ just warned me that your journal may contain *gasp* ADULT CONTENT! When did you become a pornographer? And why didn't you tell me! :op

But yeah. I had this one pegged as a troll from the get-go. However, even if I suppose I can't help but compliment her acting skills, it's a particularly despicable one. Worse, it isn't even funny. Mean-spirited and FUNNY I can forgive. Just plain mean-spirited sucks. -_-
