There's a new Kickstarter for a "Robotech Academy" animated project. Looks like it'll be CGI'd stuff, but then, a lot of action orient animation is anyways nowadays. (And the rest is stuff like Clarence.)
So now that the grenade has been lobbed into the room: FREAK OUT!

*Does a Wikipedia search on Robotech*
Ohhh, it's an anime.
Sorry if that wasn't the reaction you were hoping for.

Not only that, but a highly controversial one, held by a highly controversial company.
There are literally people putting in a buck to the kickstarter solely to bitch about the project, and Harmony Gold in general.

Still a better waste of money than funding potato salad:

You wanna lie awake in bed tonight, uncomfortably, think about this.
How many people donating to him have a potato salad fetish, and are donating because a video of a man making potato salad while mentioning their name will arouse them in unspeakable ways?

Wait. People won't pay $11,000 to see a D20 gamebook based on Peter is the Wolf but they'll pay $42,518 AND COUNTING for someone to make a potato salad?! If I had any faith left in humanity to begin with this would definitely have made me lose the rest of it. Do you have any idea how long it will take for him to read off the names of all 5,205 AND COUNTING backers?
P.S. I had to refresh and update the numbers THREE TIMES while writing this message.

To be fair, most of those contributors are hipsters - ironically supporting the Kickstarter as a way of protesting it...ironically - so they really don't count as "human" per say.

And as Kevin Seimbieda pointed out yesterday to me, just trying to put Photographs of himself & the potato salad in the mail, let alone mailing bits of potato salad - if he doesn't cancel this thing, the logistics will bankrupt him.

I literally just had a dream that I was surfing the net and constantly seeing references to potato salad. This is going to become the meme that replaces chicken mcnuggets isn't it?
