This is a better Achewood than we as a people deserve.

I know, I can't 5 it hard enough to feel even close to having earned it.

His own dad people. That's tough

At least he was born before the McDLT

ehh, I'm holding out for McDLC

And Billy Idol disappeared forever, only to subtly manifest himself through Philippe telling the Pope to get fucked, or other such instances of ballsiness.

Flamed?

A mean-spirited, ad hominem attack over email or in a forum, often over something petty.

YOU ARE SO RETARDED!!ThiS IS quite BASIC STUFF DO YOu even know how TO use a COMPUTER OR THE INTERNET?????? GETA LIVE YOU SUCH A LOOSER and u probibly suck of your own sister and YOUR DAD

incendiary, peterjoel. here, i'll throw a chubby on that fire.

that is not where you want to throw your chubby you do not want to throw your chubby on a fire

It will straight up roast your ding-dong

furiously

Philippe believes that calling oneself a "Cyber-punk" just because one has an email address is the nadir of lameness. He has a very, very good point.

True. It really wasn't a very good album.

Although I kind of liked "Shock to the System." Not a bad track.

Look how pissed he is about it in panel 5.

I know! I love it!

The utter lameness of calling oneself a 'cyber-punk' solely due to having an email address is shown to its fullest extent when fucking Philippe is the guy who points out how lame it is. Phlippe who signed up Teodor for "Smilecash" where you pay to be added to spam lists.

It were a blast.

I never pictured Billy Idol as a Northerner.

Middlesex doesn't quite count...

I think this is also pretty much why I called myself a "Cyber-punk" when I was in middle school. I feel pretty lame being essentially called out by Philippe, but that is the facts of my history.

I told a guy I was a hacker in eighth grade because I could use the control panel. And play card games.

When I was a lad I thought I was a computer master because I was an ace at the pinball game that came with Windows 2000 and could make various windows and such come up.

Surely the fact that his dad already had email should have alerted Billy that it wasn't anything to get thrills over.

Onstad nailed the english accent.

Flaming one's own dad is about as cyberpunk as it gets. The only way to be more cyberpunk would be to flame William Gibson.

your dystopias are so poorly conveyed

If a robot hell-bent on comedy is in my (Billy Idol) room late at night, in the dark, with a homosexual interest in me, I'd probably be afraid, too. It's ok, Billy. We won't let him tenderize your fudge delivery system.

Gay robot rape = sodomy, not cyberpunk.

-WFL

yeah man I know what you mean

-Zem

awesome comment dude loved it

-Dropkickpikachu

Is that a signing or a command?

The dangers of robotic sodomy are grave indeed. The People need to know!

SO GROSS

Actually, one of the archaic meanings of "punk" is "someone who engages in anal intercourse."

So in a way Gay Robot Rape = extremely cyberpunk.

Gay-robot rape is cold dystopian, how does Billy Idol not know this?

Gary Numan knows it!

"Oh look there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if he'd look the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do

Down in the park
Where the chant is 'death, death, death'
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine"


Jude Law was so good in that. Too bad the rest of the movie was a jumbled pile of shit.

For a while I was like, "Hey, man, we don't have the right to harsh on Spielberg. Kubrick chose him to do the film; that is Kubrick's right. He must have done it for a reason."

But it was a shit movie, horribly paced for the content, with camera focus on all the wrong things, and all the wrong aspects of the story emphasized. I think it is time for me to admit that Kubrick's "reason" was that he loved Spielberg, felt bad for the talentless schmuck, and figured that it didn't really matter who made the film in the event of his death, since anyone would fuck it up.

I maintain that Teddy was pretty rad.

I'll concede that.

Look at Phillipe, wrapped up all snuggly in his blanket. What a huggable rascal.

First time Billy's really spoken in English-style talk.

Billy Idol threatening Phillipe with a reason for his cyber punk tag, off the top of his head.

"Flaming your rents, makes you almost as hard as sting" Thats what Billy Idol, needs to tell Phillipe.

proper comma and apostrophe use are not among your strengths.

not being a douchenqueef isnt among your strengths.

On the contrary, I ranked first in my graduating class at Notadouchenqueef U.
