Oh, I thought we were talking about Glee.
ಠ_ಠ

Why in the nine hells would you think I would ever talk about such disgusting trash?

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Hey could someone translate this?
It'd be better to have Wolverine healing than fireball power because science.
What? I was talking about the helicopter porn.
I'm not some nerdy weirdo.

I'm trying to view the picture right now but I can't for some reason. Darnit.
EDIT: viewed it. Huh. Not as bad as I was expecting.

So, on the subject of superpowered STDs, if a large portion of humanity was suddenly able to fling superheated plasma at each other on a whim, 1) we'd probably all burn to death on short notice. 2) Physics dictates that said heat was transferred to said balls of "fire" from somewhere else, and logic dictates that since we are the source of it, the energy probably came from the food we ate. So once a large portion of the U.S. population was infected, we'd essentially become the biggest walking flamethrowers in the world given all the lovely carbs floating around. Hence, the inequalities of the rich and the poor would increase vastly, because the biggest, fattest dudes can fling more fireballs more often, probably with slightly less impact to themselves, while the starving would only die sooner as they wasted the last of their calories to burn the fatties.

I think what would happen is poor people would become the latest renewable energy source.  Load them up with sugar and toss them in a reactor.  They get free meals, the rich still get to exploit ruthlessly, and everyone else gets electricity.  It's a triple-win!

So...
It will lead to the Matrix, but instead of robots we will have the same, old, rich, white dudes?

Wasn't that what the Matrix was?

Except the poor people in the matrix didn't have super powers.  Except the rebels, but they were like... ascended poor people.

They knew how to live off the grid so the wealth of the man had no hold on them!

Oh shiiiiiiiiiit

Well I saw it when I was 12, so cut me some slack if the social commentary went over my head.

It's pretty much the ultimate rebellion story on every possible level.

I thought the Matrix was about this awesome dude who takes a pill and then has badass gun fights and dodges bullets in slow motion.

At least that's what the other elementary schoolers made it out to be.

So, recently a French intelligence agency called the DCRI tried to get the French version of this article removed from Wikipedia by threatening the Wikimedia Foundation and a French sysop. DCRI has obviously never heard of the Streisand Effect. Neither of those articles even existed in English Wikipedia until now.

That event is now an example on the Streisand Effect page. Welcome to Wikipedia humor.
