I never thought it would be necessary to explain a gag before, but oh well. You see, diaphragm is not only an organ used by singers to help their projection, but also an older contraceptive method. They are spelled the same and thus are "puns". There, joke ruined successfully.

ComicCon was interesting, and from it I learned a very valuable lesson; for as much as I dislike anime and manga fans for their obnoxiousness, it has become readily apparent that Adult Swim fans are the most irritating group of people on the face of the earth. I went to both the Pitching Panel as well as the official Adult Swim panel. Both were laden with idiots. First at the pitching panel, you get dumb questions that aren't about pitching, instead they're from angry fans demanding that certain shows be brought back. Then there are people who wanted to pitch them a show over the microphone, despite the fact that they had gone over the fact (multiple times) that they couldn't accept pitches until they had a contract signed to protect their work. Otherwise, that panel was fine, and I learned a lot about what they look for and how to pitch them a show in the future.

When the official Adult Swim panel came on, however, the idiocy tripled. You see, these fans seem to have a few misconceptions about reality. They think that their encyclopedic knowledge of Williams Street Shows is a sign of superiority. They believe that their slavish devotion to these TV programs is some form of virtue. And they mistake their clever references and shouted lines like "Mooninites forever" as sharp wit. In reality however, they are just losers with more time than brains. Seriously, going up to the microphone isn't an invitation to sit there and rant at the producers of a show for 10 minutes because you didn't like the music they used in the background of a segment between shows. Nor is it nice to sit there and make a long-winded insult against a show in front of an audience of hundreds of people, possibly in front of the creators of said program. The worst part is the smug sense of superiority they have in their voices.

Let's get this straight: YOU ARE NOT BETTER PEOPLE FOR LIKING A PROGRAMMING BLOCK. You may think that being a fan of Adult Swim makes you unique, but in fact, you are just like thousands of other people who have TV sets. So stop trying to score geek points over each other and just enjoy the shows. It's not that hard.
