forums.g4tv.com/showthread.php?s=5a05c7cc0b7d0eda4e3450e38792989b&t=115339This post REALLY REALLY pissed me off.. I mean w.. t.. f.. does he realize the jeopardy that puts the American entries for the future? They are already not happy with a few things on the American side including having to nerf the damn course so they won't get sued by the Americans.. I mean wtf.. now we have people just "showing up" because they think their ideas are so good they have to chuck all protocol? Or is it that he's so damn young and his brain is mush that he has no clue wtf he's doing? Or is it just arrogance? gaaaaaaaah sorry for the rant but but PISSES me off.

If you mean ultimask8er, his brain isn't mush, its just that he's part of the same cult that Leon and pamusicman are part of, the cult of retardation. He's a twerp who thinks he's God's gift to organized athletics. Most of the constant posters over there are the same.
If its not Leon's whining over every person who disagrees with him in the slightest (examine the debate over Luci's egg commercial) or Ninja Chad going on about how great he is (admittedly tongue in cheek), its someone else patting themselves on the back because they managed to do a pull up. I would love to see them get on the course and watch as they crash on the Sextuple Steps.
I've really gotten tired of everyone over there. I've started only posting in The Anime Corner and Off Topic areas.

I think what frustrates me is that if he does have money to burn and does this.. it's going to be bad for us. We are already walking a fine line in Japan.. we don't need him over there f'ing it up for everyone else.
But yes I do agree .. I don't post that much anymore for those exact reasons.

I have to agree Arsenette, I dont like the thought of what he's doing. What exactly makes him think that he's so cool that he can just circumvent the system (bad system or not) and show up like nothing happened? I can't imagine that anyone out there is going to let that fly but who knows.. stranger things have happened. I suspect if he or someone else does try to pull something like that it'll be the end of Americans in Sasuke.

WTF is this?!? I agree entirely. These guys are seriously going to screw this up for all of us if they're not careful. Apparently they think that they're so special that they can just show up now and they're just going to be allowed to run the course? No. I'm sorry, but reading all that...stuff seriously rubbed me the wrong way. (No offense or anything...sorry for the rant as well......)

I think this is really poor judgment on this guy's side. I don't blame him for digging Sasuke but I don't think he realize the consequences of his actions. Also, I don't think he is familiar with the culture in Japan. As Arsenette has previously stated, it is not cool to show up uninvited unless someone has personally invite you themselves. I'm glad that Sasuke is letting Americans on the show but this is beyond the insanity and frankly, this will jeopardized the Americans' chance of getting on Sasuke without having to use G4. I mean, I'm not fan of G4 because they have this tendency of sending flip monkeys to Sasuke.
*shaking head*
Such irrational decision. I'd love to get on Sasuke someday but dang, this is just whack.

K I feel a little better. I keep thinking I'm getting old.. but in even HERE in the USA you don't just show up. It's like saying I'm getting on American Idol (crashing the top 10) and going to volunteer my services.. ya know? Worse off.. showing up to the TV station so I can give them ideas on how to run the show..

Yeah, there's protocol that you have to get through TV station so it's highly unlikely that guy would ever meet with producers. I used to work for ABC channel so I'm aware how difficult it is. Still, that's just relentless move if you're asking me.
Maybe he's lucky that he can get ticket to view Sasuke from bleachers. I dunno.

I'd be pissed because before that they didn't allow spectators without authorization. He seems to have backed away from crashing Sasuke so far.. at least from his last post. Now he's saying he wants to invite himself to the Japanese trials.. and now TBS.. of course I should say to head to Monster 9 directly.. Higuchi is known to be ruthless

I was there but I wasn't as cocky as this generation.. I worked early in life and working in corporate you see crap that makes your hair turn white. Considering as well.. I SAW kids like him show up on TV stations as if they were God's gift to Earth.. then go to a production meeting and they declare certain things stop because the fans get out of hand. I've seen 2 shows (nothing worth writing about) canceled or things changed because of fan reaction. I can just imagine the crap that will go if he shows up in TBS acting like the innocently helping American. It's already a tenous relationship at best over there.. he is the last thing we need.

It's certainly Grade-A stupidity, but I seriously doubt anything will come of it. Even if he were to actually do it, which I also seriously doubt, he'd just be turned away instantly. They'd be just as stupid (not to mention spectacularly petty) to make anything big out of it.

this will jeopardize the Americans' chance of getting on Sasuke without having to use G4. That depends on which Americans you're talking about. If you mean baka gaijin like Mssr. ulti, then yeah, probably, but what chance did we have on our own in the first place? If you mean American athletes like Brian Clay or transplanted Americans like Travis Alan S., then I would doubt it. Each group of people has its own way of communicating with the show, and they're all pretty independent. I also don't think it's a stretch to think that Monster9 and the like don't comprehend the idea of a bad apple. Now if Mssr. ulti goes through the proper channels, submits a video, and M9 says "Welcome to Hollywood Sasuke," then who are we to argue? If he shows up and just thinks he can get in because he's there, it's a simple matter of showing him the proverbial door. Even if he claims affiliation with G4, Comcast will wash their hands of him so fast it won't even be funny. Of course, there's always the question of how prepared is he really to go to Japan. I've studied the language, history, and culture throughout my 5 years of college, and I know that unless I have a travel companion at my level or higher, I probably don't even get out of the terminal. (I'd be lucky to even get on the hikouki......all right, so it's not all bad.) I mean, it's a good idea in principle--why go through a proxy when you can do it direct--but obviously not thought through. Not doubting you, but who has brought this up and when?

Not doubting you, but who has brought this up and when? Eh.. in conversations I shouldn't be discussing It was aimed at the radical change to the wall lift and another set of components in that same vein. I admit I'm being colored by the findings.

Arsenette: I thnk you are over-exaggerating a bit. Ulti might not even know he's not allowed to just show up. So is that his fault? No, he's just misinformed.
And he's not trying to "crash" Sasuke. he just wants to pay his way to Japan so he can watch from the side lines.
I don't see how that makes him a "reatrd" and how something simple as that can stir up so much controversy. People just need to chill out, it aint a big deal. Lets just take a deep breath... relax... ah.
Much better.

[It was aimed at the radical change to the wall lift.... I admit I'm being colored by the findings. Yes. Yes you are. I don't see that as a major change at all. That's not how I read it, but if that's the case, then good luck and godspeed.

What do you mean that's not how you read it? Isn't that what it says?
"I have saved enough money to fly to Japan... and hopeully meet up with the G4 crew"
Doesn't sound like he's trying to crash Sasuke. Sounds like he's worked hard to earn money to fly to Japan to MAYBE get to watch Sasuke.

He mentioned he hasn't even talked to the G4 crew but he was going to piggy back and say he wsa going to show up. When I called him on the fact that you can't do that because you have to get invited he changed his story to "going to TBS and offer advice" and then "go to Sasuke Trials and offer to enter".. Either way he hasn't posted since my diatribe a couple days ago. Hopefully some sense was brought into the picture.. doubtful.. he is a kid after all..

Kid seems a little cocky, i don't think its smart to try this kinda of thing, arsenette's right we r riding a fine line with Japan over our entries, so he should be careful with what he does we defenitely dont want him to go over and piss everyone off and then end ANC completely.
