You see that video? It looks almost like a real television news story, doesn’t it? This is a video from The Onion quite possibly the greatest source of news on the face of the Earth. Of course, it’s fake. Most of it is fake at least. The background with the funky wall of monitors and special effects, all of that is fake. The stories on the other hand are 100% real.

That was a lie. I’m sorry. Unless you believe in conspiracy theories, then it wasn’t.

But in all honesty, these days when ill-informed people freak out over stupid small things like a short sex scene in a video game that is no worse than what can be seen on any regular TV station, you’re probably getting more reliable news from the people who are flat out faking the story rather than the people who are paid to report real world events.

That last dialogue bubble says “I’ve got the goods…did you bring the Big Macs?”

Following up on Nis’ post, everyone here at JerkPop loves a delicious trap. (If they say they don’t, they’re just in denial.)

So I thought I’d share this post at Densetsu-Shoujo.com– about an eroge trap popularity contest that’s being run at Moon Phase. D-S post has an English-language list and images of all of the traps who are up for debate, plus instructions on how to vote in Moon Phase (which, of course, is in Japanese). You just need an LJ account…although I couldn’t get it to accept mine. Fortunately, I have an account at Hatena, so I was able to register my votes (for Jun from Happiness! and Yukiji from H2O ~footprints in the sand~, natch).

If you go through all the traps (and why wouldn’t you? THEY’RE DELICIOUS!), you may notice a couple of them actually look…like dudes. So of course, I went looking for the info for y’all!

In the case of Honjou Masami from Gakuen Toukou Shashin, he actually apparently dresses as a guy but gets mistaken for a girl anyway (I’m guessing that in his path in the eroge, he gets dressed up).

As for KiraKira’s Shikanosuke Maejima, he’s the main character and he plays in an all-girls band, so he is traptastic…but for some reason, D-S chose to offer the male picture of him. If you go to the official character page and mouse over the image, you’ll see him in trap form. I kinda wanna play this game, actually.

Enjoy, trap-lovers. ♥
