The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

I found a Japanese newsite that turns stories into overly dramatic comics.
The homo ecce restoration: æ¼«ç”»ã®æ–°èž ãƒžãƒ³ã‚¬ã§èª*ã‚€ãƒ‹ãƒ ¥ãƒ¼ã‚¹ / ã‚*ãƒªã‚¹ãƒˆã«å®Ÿã¯ãƒ¨ ãƒ¡ãŒã„ãŸï¼ï¼

You navigate the comics by clicking the arrow on the left.

Hey, I was homeschooled too. My mom started homeschooling because I and my developmentally delayed were failing miserably in the school system. My mom couldn't stand the teachers she was dealing with, so she just said, "**** it, there's no way I can do any worse than these fools. I'm doing it myself."

Oh my God, thats hilarious.

I was wondering, before I read the article, why parents wouldn't just take their children away. I mean, it must have been pretty obvious that the film they were about to watch was NOT going to be Madagascar. I was wondering if any parents were sitting around thinking 'It's ok, the lemur will come on in a minute!'

Even though they say that they only caught the opening two minutes while they removed their children from the cinema, I'm wondering if the warning of the age certificate beforehand and the 'PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4' message before the film even started might not have tipped them off. I mean, whenever I've been to the cinema there seems to be quite a period of time between this and the film starting?

Ja, wouldn't the previews be extremely dissimilar as well? Seeing previews for the Carrie remake and not for Here Comes the Boom would be a pretty good hint that it wasn't the right movie.
