Battles Fought

There's this cool guy in Regina. Yeah, I say this, as in singular. Anyway. He runs an anime shop located in downtown Regina. Like an action hero, he wages a one-man war against the municipal government.

He decries how downtown is dying. Unlike most revolutionaries, he's actually had some response. The Mayor came down to talk with him, and based on his accounts, his reply was little more of a "Well....well...oh Jesus...fuck you!"

Then Prairie Dog featured him as "The Sexiest Reginian." For this, the owner got p.o.ed, made fun of it on his website. So then Prairie Dog actually responded to him, saying it was the people who voted for him that made the decision, and that like every independent magazine, they fought the power as good as any one. In a gesture of generosity, invited him to respond on his website. To which he said, "Oh, I was making fun of Prairie Dog readers - how could they be so stoopid!"

Maybe it's because he blames downtown b/c no one comes down and rents anime.

There's better selection at a new comic book store that opened a couple blocks from him.

Maybe he should open a new one.

But, in his defense, he's a nice bastard. He doesn't usually enforce late fees for anime rentals. I have turned a three day rental into a week long.

Maybe he should just stop whining. But eh.
