Does pentapus beat paper, or does paper beat pentapus?

"You haven't told me what I'm looking for."
"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."

:{ Totally unhelpful. How are Mike and I supposed to know I was right?
Which reminds me of something.

Dear Priam,
Why is it the Cat's Butt Channel?
Hearts, Dia

It's a Zobmondo reference. I'll let Priam tell the story since he enjoys it so.
Anime is kind of like fish in that it is better the less "fishy" it is.

It is actually an octopus, but of a species that engages in ritual self-mutilation. This cultural element has been forever memorialized in the nonliving "plush" that you have in your possession.
Judo at one point brought over the game Zobmondo, where it has rested upon the main entertainment center at the condo. At one point, BW (if I remember correctly) asked, "So, what is that?"
Judo, who was present: "It's a game of stupid questions. Like, really stupid questions. Like, 'Would you rather lick a cat's butt, or the bottom of a fridge?' That kind of question."
So, when the Everybody Votes channel became accessible at the Condo, and had questions formatted similarly, the transition was to be expected.
addendum: The Cat's Butt question has since been changed and updated, as follows: "Would you rather take a cat, wipe its butt on the bottom of a fridge, set that on fire, and lick THAT--or drink a cup of coffee?" A difficult decision indeed.
