Anthrocon 2008 News Coverage

[asifilich]

Anybody notice tosh at the end there?

[ghostchild127]

2.3 million dollars... *sips beer* and don't you fuckers forget it ;)

[vampcode96too]

"Don't worry the city is safe" WTF why wouldnt the fucking city be safe dumb bitch

[FreakingTacoMan97]

1:29 THANK YOU UNCLE KAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DirtDolphin]

The Furry Fandom: One of the friendliest and most accepting fandoms/groups available. Here, you can let go, relax, and be yourself. There's nothing to hate about it. If you find something, we'll overload you with kindness. :3

[TheAntiFurParty]

Skip to 2:22 on this video then read this: ca.kotaku.com/5793660/self+pro­fessed-furry-charged-with-xbox­-live-child-abuse

[BigBadNightWolf]

@TheAntiFurParty is that your ONLY back up?

[ipwnlocks]

lol she picked fox. cause ya know, we dont already have hundreds of those... and its an ongoing joke that foxes cant keep their pants on :D

[ginnonifu]

"They're called Anthrocon. Some of them dress up in fursuits." How does a convention dress in a fursuit, pray tell?

[NekoStriker]

huh wait a tick...is that Tani on the banner?

[TheUberTurtle1]

108 People are puppy shaggers...

[mycokerulesyayD]

husky furry for life :3

[BenjiiKuumaku]

@mycokerulesyayD hels yeh

[Uttelito]

OMFG the ram was epic! :D

[keagangatton]

@Uttelito IKR

[MrGnrfanatic141414]

Look at the reporters face at the end. She wants to burst out laughing so bad saying "AHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU FUCKING FURFAG FREAKS"!

[JMDub89]

Going to my first convention (Midwest Furfest) this Friday!

Yay ^^

[WWIIwolf]

half of furries i find to be alittle "off" but what ever i dig it

[AdorableUKe]

I wonder how many haters faces changed when they heard the profit they made off the furries lol

[anthonystuart69]

so rare to see coverage of the fandom that isn't "ooh, look, these people are weird, let's point and laugh!"

though...admittedly, there are some furries that are worth pointing and laughing at

[kingjonnyboy117]

@anthonystuart69 That's probably because Fox News didn't cover it, you can bet if it had been you would have heard "sick twisted fucks" somewhere in the introduction to the story.

[BondoFox]

@kingjonnyboy117 That makes no sense at all. Anthrocon as a news story is more interesting as a local news story than a national one, your obvious bias against Fox News aside.

[kingjonnyboy117]

@BondoFox Fox News is widely known to be a propaganda machine for the republican party. They are against anything that is not "normal". Thus would have been horrified and disgusted that such an even was going on.

[MrGnrfanatic141414]

@kingjonnyboy117

Yes, and liberal media as a whole has been known to be 10 times worse than Fox News.

[kingjonnyboy117]

@MrGnrfanatic141414 I don't really care, both the Republican party and it's propaganda machine (fox) are insane, the Democrats are just as stupid. I hate all politicians.

[fantASSticify]

2:35

I could not stop laughing

[DangerRoss13]

0:42

Awesome! Roman Lion!

[Snowboarding85]

Woot... furries rock!!!

That lady was cool about reporting at anthrocon.

It's nice to see a news channel that researches and investigates the fandom professionally...

unlike others that try to shock their viewers w/ misinformation and biased opinions about furries.

[SuperRIDDE5]

Is it only furries allowed, or are you able to be anybody else?

if so, I WANT TO BE A SPY! Or G-man

[thaftha1]

rule 34 IS unfortunate... it makes anime look like nothing more than T&A (which a great deal still seems to be unless you know what you're looking for) and anthropomorphism look like a porno collection even though it is used damn near EVERYWHERE in daily life...

[pmcted2]

Can someone tell me who is the girl at 2:40 in the right?

[JMDub89]

This video is exactly what us furries need to defend ourselves! Any furry who reads this comment should try this: if you come across an anti-furry troll/comment on youtube, share this clip with them, telling them sexual furries are the minority, NOT the majority!

Furry Pride!!!

[xXNibiNoNekoXx]

I like that news reporter, she's very nice and excepting :3

We need more like her ^^

[kg54427]

@xXNibiNoNekoXx So true.

[fishboard123]

for once the news dosnt make us furries look like freaks...

[madvideogamer]

what the fuck is this shit

[DirEnGreyChik]

i NEED to go to anthro con.... but i have no money.. and i live in missouri TT^TT

is it further confusion thats in illinois? or is that somewhere else?.... i know theres one a state overfrom me and i might be able to go to that one.... ^_________________^

[SilverHeretic]

@DirEnGreyChik I believe Further Confusion is in San Deigo in California.

[gomezf87]

Pools Closed

[buckblackhoof]

this interview so to speak was somewhat decent compared to others ive seen....just wish i could go sometime.

[TigerXtrm]

GARR!!!!

[kibaboy4]

MUST-GO-TO-ANTHROCON :)

I GOTTA GO!,but i has no money

[CianThEfuR]

ya its sucks to have no money :(

[johnmcclatchy]

oh wow! this coverage was actually fair! o_o *faved* I thought a news program would have decided that balanced coverage of a fur-con with various view-points would have been bad for ratings. These guys are setting the bar! ^__^

[webkinzX0X0]

i wanna go to anthrocon so bad

[dakonsuruchi]

@webkinzX0X0 me too soooo bad

[BondoFox]

@webkinzX0X0 You'd LOVE it!

[hypnosisman121]

@webkinzX0X0 you going tomorrow? ;D

[rollercoasterrob2]

OH, and for the people who are hating on furries because a lot of people in the fandom like yiff.... WTF?! Haven't you fucking heard of Rule 34?? There's a porn of EVERYTHING! NO EXCEPTIONS. There's even toaster porn. I swear to God. Google it, lmao

[CianThEfuR]

haha oh that was perfect, your right there is a porn for everything...

[darkseed1010]

@rollercoasterrob2 OMG! I seached it, and yeah! You're right there it!

[rollercoasterrob2]

2:08 I lol'd. Also, enough of the fucking dramaaaa...

[spiceyvideo]

..."There is a sexual element to being a furry, here's Adam Wan; he'll give us further explaination." x3

[BubblyBlondeBunny]

Is... Is she wearing a wig??

[Optimusprimemc]

"Their full name is anthrocon"

wtf

[Eagle0600]

For people with very little prior, knowledge, I can see how they made that mistake. Still funny.

[Desolator12]

2:18 GAAAAAAAAAAAR!

[PENNWORKS0001]

that was a fairly unbiased for once. from either angle, it's correct.

[Techdude300]

I couldn't help but laugh at around 0:05. It sounds like one of those government warnings. "Do not panic! The furries are in town! The government will dispose of them immediately. In the mean time, hide your children from these strange monsters."

XD

[MSK120]

That's what should have been said, not this news coverage crap. The furries are here! Get your guns!

[spiceyvideo]

ou fail, srys ^^

[96AF]

0.20 omg its tanidareal! XD

I would be scared if i saw myself on the news XD

[Coperj666]

I don't have to.

You're furry.

Nuff' said.

[spiceyvideo]

Troll rhymes with fail. You know. ^^ >:3

[Coperj666]

I don't see how. I think if you were trying to insult me, you would say "Troll is synonymous with fail." Then again, you're a furfag.

[spiceyvideo]

"Troll is synonymous with fail."

"Then again, you're a furfag."

OH HO HO. I'd love to explain your now becoming EPIC FAILURE, but I've got better things to be doing. And I hope you do, too? Do you?

[Coperj666]

"EPIC FAILURE"

Learn some new lines or something. Shits old. You have better things to do, yet you reply to me. High-five you're now a fucking retard.

[spiceyvideo]

For applying to "Shit's old" it seems to increase your butthurtedness by many percent. I've got better things to do.. but some that arn't as entertaining as listening to a butthurt troll.

[Coperj666]

Yes, because I am oh-so butthurt. You got me there furfag. Oh no. Alright, you're replying to my comment of 'trolling'; therefore, I can say that you are the one who is infact butthurt seeing how you have to defend your pathetic self. High-five. Shall we keep going?

[spiceyvideo]

You're the one who replied. And don't try to hide your hurt butt; it's THROBBING. Try trolling some who ISN'T smarter than you. It may take awhile.

[Coperj666]

Technically we both 'replied' but I left the first comment. Also, you assuming that I am 'butt hurt' somehow makes you more intelligent. Your logic is flawed furfag.

[spiceyvideo]

If you havn't already noticed I've taken the win. Game's over. Troll somewhere else.

[Coperj666]

Cool story bro. Go get butthurt elsewhere.

[VegaGuy15]

0:31

Thats my tail there in the screen

~V~

[VegaGuy15]

Gross what? You got a problem?

~V~

[VegaGuy15]

Im all about freedom of speech and all but give yourself the benefit of the doubt and give atleast a good reason for hating this instead of posting stupid little comments like the one you just did.

Its quite bothersome

~V~

[themanwiththeplan63]

The ram costume was pretty cool tho

[themanwiththeplan63]

HAHAHAHA, the costume at 2:08 is so horrible.

[ZuriBonn]

ha humans, there so oblivious to our fandom. they speak about them like there retards, i know were different but geez.

And the mention of sexual elements...ridiculous. I HATE the media.

[KazzaDragon]

At least the news coverage gives a good example of us

[FoxxZombie]

oh God i should go there and be on the news and be a good example

[ghostchild127]

@FoxxZombie PLEASE do us all a favor! o__o haha

[PVfaithrunner]

Well, at least they didn't go all out on the "OMG SEXUAL ASPECT OF FURRY RUN IN TERROR!!!" like some media does. Pretty respectable portrayal besides that, actualy.

[DomoInUrRobato]

I am right there with you good job with the news group

furrie4ever

[Manguneshane]

OMGGGGGGGGGG

that ram outfit was BAD ASS.

[tsnaruto]

Yiff in hell furfags.

[Canaidiansurfer]

Your a furry.

You wanna know why ?

If you weren't, you woulden't go video to video watching furry's.

That comment just shows your age/iq.

[tsnaruto]

No.

Why?

Or maybe I decided to write this comment because I knew it would piss off a furgag, and it did.

Guess my age/iq?

[Canaidiansurfer]

Furfag ?

Excuse me ? I'm straight thank you.

Also, why would I guess your age ?

And of course it pisses me off.

Get something better to do.

I "think" you have better things to do than go vid to vid posting useless and insulting comments.

If you don't like us, why do you watch and comment on our vid's ?

Explain please. Thank you.

[politicalscistudent]

From how you're chatting early twenties and btw physcologists have dropped the test where it gives you a number for a different thing with 7 sections, so I'd only be impressed if all 7 sections were high levels

[tsnaruto]

That's a pretty accurate guess bro.

And I honestly didn't know about the 7 sections you speak of. Thanks for informing me.

[gdxzc]

You are wrong son, I got redirected here from a link. So it just shows how intelligent you are!!!

[Canaidiansurfer]

Then you should be more careful about what you click.

Your failing.

[politicalscistudent]

But I don't want to go to Michigan

[PhycoDreamer]

The news doesn't know what to say lol like when Pokemon was a worldwide obsession, but this one hasn't got everyone so they feel safe making a little fun out of it, but when something gets big then they shut up untill its clear its ok to make fun of it. Which it wouldn't be cause furries get bullied so much online.

[otakuinextremis]

CHAVAL, K WAPOO!! ^^ what day is Anthrocon?? I'd really like to go!! it looks amazing!! ;D in Spain there aren't any furry conventions T_T... but well. Saludos desde Madrid =]

[watashiwapookie]

I saw this last summer when It came out but when a friend linked to me I realized I now know the family at point 1:40! and I'm going to be meeting up with them this year at AC. I lol'd really hard. XD

[NinjaMonkey812]

OMG i saw this with 3 other friends at the same time and at 3:37 we all at the same time went "...never again." XD

[NinjaMonkey812]

2:37 * sorry. =P

[Vulpinepath]

It's so funny how the news people talk about furries xD

[NinjaMonkey812]

I HATE THE MEDIA! UGHH!!

[theinhtun1]

I want to go to anthrocon in a stormtrooper outfit(like the ones they have in the movies) that be kool

[serfox1]

lololol, I love this :3 "FOXY!"

[CopperFangunlimited]

FURRY PRIDE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vulpinepath]

TRUE DAT!!!

[Onjade]

Yea, kids dress up on halloween too newslady, what's WRONG with that?!

[FLAWSUS]

There's nothing wrong that because they're fucking children and not grown as faggot.

[RedArmyCaptain]

STFU, dude. Your probably a pot smoker anyway.

[WalnutFaceBrand]

Was wrong with smoking pots?

[Onjade]

You should check grammer.

I don't understand what is so wrong with being in a costume, I mean come on! Who wouldn't love to dress up and run around town!?

Also, there are KIDS at these conventions sometimes, I saw a video of two really young kids (probably 12 or 11) playing with a car and wearing paws and heads!

[midnightfoxstepmania]

wow,i'm appalled by how many people are ignorant about the furry fandom...

too many people say "yiff in hell furfags!".

but they don't realize that the majority of the games they play and the movies they watch have anthros....anthro,for those who don't know what its meaning is, is "something with human-like qualities"...so their sonic and their starfox games all have anthros,and they love those games without flaming them,so wtf is wrong with anthros on t3h interw3bz??? NOTHING!!!

[FireFoxFurry]

FURRY FOREVER. (the news reporter kinda killed foxes for me XD)

[Animega069]

SWEATNESS

[madmike1]

this is very rare, a good coverage of the fandom, basicly what it is really about

[razputin50]

Why hasn't Anthrocon been bombed yet?

[vgwiz831]

Beause not everyone is an intolerant jerk-off?

[imafurryhusky]

=3 -yay

[molewizard]

Oh my god... I died at 2:07

xD

Epic, epic fail...

[anImposter]

I think she looks a lot like Willie Nelson.

[molewizard]

Hmm... I get the impression her initials consist of 'f,' 'e,' and 'g,' though not necesserily in that order...

[Sesshomaru26000]

is it me or is that tiger guy flipping the bird?

[chrisharden13]

It's kind of funny I have never been to one "yet" and I could point out alot furs I know of that go there lol. But if there is bumping and grinding or any sexual things going on its in your own privacy and people shouldn't be judging others for what they do in their own privacy and the adult art that is made is adults only and would not be given to minors. People should not be judging furries like yiff in hell and all that. Its the same as making fun of the star wars and star trek fandom. -_-"

[loriziell]

lol "gigabowser"...i suppose you played super smash bros? well guess what...they have anthros or another term would be FURRY

[jvry8c]

OH SWEET JESUS!!!! kill with fire!

[ttop9999]

what'd they ever do to you, bro?

[imafurryhusky]

yay your house in set on fire!!!

[theinhtun1]

don't protest furry, protest ugly people wearing furry ears and tails and bad furry art

[ghostchild127]

@theinhtun1 lol and protest them being on tv!

[ChuckMonroe]

Ha! Kage was like... bumping? Grinding? noooo nothing of the sort happens here <_<;;;

[someweirdgayguy]

Hey man, what you do in your bedroom is none of my business...

[WhyteHoodNegra]

bad comeback, if i said "these people fuck animals" then you would have a good reply but i said "fucking pedos" thats just making a statement, making you a moron... oh and im disgusted with these people because my 13yr cousin wants to go to one and thats a (negative)life changing experience and he is brainwashed by his love for animals into thinking that those people arent fuckin crazy as shit... when insulting... try thinking

[offspring4eva]

I'll admit that fursuiting is a little out of the ordinary (to me) but nevertheless fursuiters still have my utmost respect.

[theinhtun1]

if furry art is good, then it's really good, if it's crap then it destroys my eyes, corrupts my brain and sends me to rehab )=

[BalooDumptruck]

@theinhtun1

shut up, go look up some playboy, maybe your wanker might get big

[tylerthekitsune]

yay! this newcast did not portray anthrocon as sexual. but as good family fun!!

[someweirdgayguy]

TEN THOUSAND!?

I suppose walmart doesn't sell them

[AdelioAltomar]

If they did, I wouldn't count on the quality. :P

[BuCk3Th34D411]

W00T~! Gu'Dans Goat at 1:46! FTW! yay!

[furfoxfur]

WOOP FURRIES !!!! i love them so much im going to the 09 maybe or the 10 i dont know but IM SURLY GOING TO ONE and wow 2.7 miliion thats woopish!

[UserName89]

Holy fuck was that Gar!?

[Dezki]

That's what I said!

I'm pretty sure it was :D

[Ctcwired]

Great report...

Furry Haters FU, it's all harmless.

[richintalent]

that's 1t- I am definitely looking for some grey fur so I can go as Pogo Possum!

[acer2008]

Wow, now I want to go even MORE!

[MavadoKen]

It was sad, until they spoke with Wally. ^_^

[furryisthenewedgy]

How is it scary? They're not a threat to you in any way.

How is it sad? Most of the people there are pretty happy to be there.

[mrfoxboy]

Random fox raises paw "I agree"

~Foxboy! :)

[daguy48]

This was an awesome report :D

[Calingaladha]

Kage knows he likes a scritch too XD

Someday I'll make it to A.C. with a fursuit :D

Or just make it to A.C. at all.

[mrfoxboy]

i think IMHO, that "killingspreefreesbee" has either:

A)lost all his/her marbles

B)been living in a HOLE for the past 15 years or so...

Please stop being soo narrow-minded, because I have never yiffed IN MY LIFE. I.E.: If someone's a furr just for the yiff, then they are not a furr at all.

______________________________­________________

I AM A FURR, SO ACCEPT IT!

~Foxboy!

[swallowedwholeup]

Oh gosh. I loved the end!

"...but I see myself as rather...foxy."

[thegreatfurrylion]

The lady interviewing seems quite sweet.

She made me laugh too, especially at the end.

[DymphnaWolf]

This was impressive. However, I have to wonder why, even in the best of these reports and on the part of those furs who commented, there is no mention of the time effort and sheer talent that goes into making the suits or creating the artwork. It's such a great display of talent, yet very few seem to think of it that way.

[ds1nt3k]

Impossible! No slander at all?! Amazing. Simply amazing.

[ChainbladeVideos]

I LOVE IT its a news report that dosent bash furrys! its a miracle O.O

[vanderfox19]

At least the media isn't slandering the Furry Fandom like they have in the past, that's a step in the right direction.

[bloodbrother44]

Sorry, hell is full 'til next AC.

[ChainbladeVideos]

What hells full?

i guess the rest get to bump up to first class then ey? TO ANTHROCON 2009

[mrfoxboy]

sorry! no yiffing at AC (Gets you kicked out permanently, according to the rules)

[DragonVeeku]

Looks like the fandoms growing more if familys are starting to go to the cons... hope they dont see the sexual side of stuff XD

[Reckanin]

Damn that con was fun.

[cornwallthedragon]

Cool! Got my five seconds right at the end with my little buddy Dougal.

[PyroChan]

hey! was that Wally (the ram) being interviewed?

[yatagarasean]

Holy shit, is that Gar from the 2Sense show? Super sexy, almost orgasmic voice Gar?!

... Damn, he is even sexier then I thought

[Azuredrago]

its anthromorphic not anthrocon anthrocon is the ame of the con anthromorphic is the name of the people

[xShevvyCoon]

I watched this while I was in my hotel room at the Westin...it was very amusing :P
