    I get the feeling you’re doing this to make up for the pre-recorded video you uploaded on the day of the earthquake. But still, I’m interested in Japanese culture so I’m looking forward to it! Also, did you guys film anything at SWSX?

  28. Hazzoufc says:
    March 17, 2011 at 3:05 pm

    Thank you, Rocketboom. We all you know you screwed up with that last video but lets put that behind us now and move on. I’m looking forward to seeing these videos about Japan. :)

    Dear ROCKETBOOM, while you were away something happened. In internet parlance RB no longer means ROCKETBOOM, it now means Rebecca Black. That is all.

    What about a video on the earthquake in Pakistan :( ? They are helping you guys fight the Taliban, and all you do is disrespect them like that?

    I can’t wait for this, I love Japan, and the situation there is pretty bad now, though thankfully I heard it’s not as bad as a lot of people think, but still…

    let me get this straight, i don’t get to see molly’s gorgeous face because you want to create a tribute to the fucking tojos? fuck japan, i hope they get hit by 80 more earthquakes and 62 tsunamis.

    @t1mTV
    I understand where you are coming from. All I hear about now is Japan this, and that. Its fucking making me sick. They are a fully developed country, with all the wealth and resources to be able to support themselves.

    @illuminatijews September 11 2001 was in the media forever. Heaven forbid another country have a massive disaster. September 11 destroyed lots of buildings, the quake and tsunami, hundreds, thousands, and a nuclear disaster may be looming. Show a little bit of god damn compassion. I’m not trying to belittle 9/11, Ill never forget it, but what I am trying to say is realize the size of this. the third largest economy on the planet, that was developed, was just ripped apart by nature, in a day.

    March 17, 2011 at 5:05 pm

    @illuminatijews But when it’s a hurricane or it’s 9-11 or anything of that kind of shit, i don’t hear you guys bitching about it. xD Then it’s all Poor America, all laying down on your backs begging for help. Wether it be in Japan, Iran or America. Just have some respect, you english pigdogs. xD

  65. njdss4 says:

    Better than republishing a video two days after the disaster saying there’s nothing in the news this week.

    I vote against doing a video about the “history” of Japan, it’s nothing but blood-shed, that and AUS is now ACCEPTING ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM JAPAN. Which 96% of Aus doesn’t agree with

    @Galesiz
    I aint English, you fucking idiot. Im American. Im sick of all this fucking Japanese bullshit. There are more important things going on in the world. I could care less about Japan, they dont believe in Jesus, which means I dont care about them.

  99. Galesiz says:
    March 17, 2011 at 10:31 pm

    @illuminatijews I know your not English xD DERP. And as American, you were one time, an Englishmen. So, in that aspect, you fail dubbel. XD And as for your “Jesus” aspect. There are Christians amongst the Japanese. So that will be 3 fails for you… YOUR OUT!

    March 17, 2011 at 10:33 pm

    @GameUrg No, rocketboom is adjusting it’s programming to current disaster that the world should be just as concerned about as the Haiti EQ, Samoa EQ, etc etc. Natural disasters happen without restraint, without political stances, religious views or societal brackets. I hope rocketboom gives as much coverage to the EQ/Tsunami this past week as they did the other major ones in the past few years. No discrimination = REAL news.

  101. illuminatijews says:
    March 17, 2011 at 11:03 pm

    @Galesiz
    I was never an Englishman you idiot. First of all, I am the son of god; so I have no human ancestry,really. Second, my human parents were Mexican, so technically, I would be Mexican descent, Spanish, would be more accurate. The Japanese are not Christians, they are as xtian as a fucking pedophile priest is.

  102. Gameboy39 says:
    March 17, 2011 at 7:09 pm

    This is good. Very good. One of the things I like most about Rocketboom is its ‘education, not information’ slant on things. If you want to know the news, watch the news; Rocketboom’s purpose is to teach us something new and interesting every weekday. This is a case in point.
    Keep up the good work.

  106. digivince says:
    March 17, 2011 at 11:31 pm

    @illuminatijews Okay take the comment you wrote about not caring about Japanese because they don’t believe in Jesus, and have someone read it aloud for you. Hopefully then you’ll see just how stupid you really are.

    DO THE RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE OF EUROPE.

    YOUR OWN RACE

    FUCK. NO ONE IS PROUD OF THEIR EUROPEAN HERITAGE ANY-MORE? WHY THE FUCK NOT? WE ONLY INVENTED LIKE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING WE HAVE TODAY. ONLY CONQUERED MORE THEN HALF THE WORLD.

    FORGET THE CRUSADERS AND THE GERMANIC TRIBES, CELTS, VIKINGS SPARTANS AND WHAT NOT. FORGET FIGHTING OFF THE ARABIC INVADERS, FORGET ABOUT FIGHTING OFF THE MONGOL’S AND THE HUNS.

    NO WONDER US PEOPLE OF EUROPEAN HERITAGE HAVE BEEN GOING SO DOWNHILL.

    Pathetic example of pandering by Rocketpoon. This is just their way of trying to recover favour after that idiotic “no news” bullshit they posted last week.

    March 18, 2011 at 3:55 am

    @LittlePussLiquor
    Well there’s no other reason to be here. Rocketpoon is hardly newsworthy or well produced. Some bright spark realised that if he posted a bunch of rubbish articles read by net-poon and promoted it correctly that all you virgin losers would flock to it. So I guess he deserves credit for that much.

    March 18, 2011 at 6:47 am

    @woody500z First of all, you used ALL CAPS, which you might think is Cruise Control for Awesome, but it isn’t, it only makes things harder to read. Still, I continued on reading. Your claim that we “INVENTED LIKE EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING WE HAVE TODAY” is not an exaggeration, it’s just wrong. Then claiming that we forgot our own culture just because they are trying to show us more about another culture is a bit too much. Have you seen the news lately?

    March 18, 2011 at 12:10 pm

    @illuminatijews Oh deary me. I know the Bible contradicts itself about a million times and all, but I could’ve sworn one of the main aspects of Christianity was to ‘love everyone regardless of religion’, as in Buddhism (for an obvious and well-known comparative). Which does bring me to question what ‘more important things’ are going on in the World, in your own opinion? Just wondering, is all.

  154. illuminatijews says:
    March 18, 2011 at 12:25 pm

    @MrTranceNinja
    The stuff going on locally in my state, and country. Occasionally though, foreign news is important. Like for example, the situation in the middle-east. That effects me, these stupid ass rebels are ruining for the whole entire world. I just wish, we could just drop bombs on them, so the world could go back to normal. My opinion.

    March 18, 2011 at 3:42 pm

    @woody500z o dear mate. what was that all about ?

    and yeah we should be really proud of the crusades………. a war based on something that any don’t even believe in today that achieved what ? the spread of disease, the destruction of cities, the slaughter of innocent people……….

  160. squirrelboi2 says:
    March 18, 2011 at 3:45 pm

    @illuminatijews

    couldn’t care less. Could care less implies that you do care about them, as there is some space where you could care less. couldn’t care less means there is no way to care any less than you do.

    @KaiserTota Name 1 invention that changed man kind, made by a non-white, besides gun powder (which was found by accident, and white’s were the ones who took it a step further, creating guns etc. But i’ll let the East Asians have that, they aren’t bad)

    And i used caps because it stands out like dogs balls.

  175. amjwUK says:
    March 19, 2011 at 12:10 am

    @woody500z paper was invented by the chinese. the number system as we see it was invented by indians. and i’m white.

  176. woody500z says:
    March 19, 2011 at 1:08 am

    @amjwUK The Ancient Indians were whtie, hence why you can still see small traces of white genes in the upper class Indian society, not to mention European haplogroups. Do your research on that.

    and though paper was made before the Chinese, i will give them that. But they are East Asian, and as i stated, they aren’t to bad.

    And am i meant to care if your white or not?

  177. amjwUK says:
    March 19, 2011 at 1:35 am

    @woody500z you’re classifying people by the colour of their skin, then you talk about ‘east asains’, refering to them by place and not skin colour. you clearly don’t have the intellect to talk down on me you self-contradicting dipshit (you still have to source your ‘ancient indians were white’ claim).

    you’re the one talking about race. people like you play the ‘you would say that because you’re a minority’ card all the time, so my pre-emptive comment was justified. try again.

  180. Dalekdanceparty says:
    March 19, 2011 at 2:15 pm

    @woody500z because you saw that somebody was going to show some respect for another race and you got some retarded bug in your ass and for some idiotic reason(i understand, it happens) had to let people know your racist opinions on this obviously not racist channel. . . oh yeah, and ALGEBRA. Hahahaha. Hay man, i don’t mean to put you down, really. It’s just that when you say stupid shit, you look very stupid, thats all.

  181. Dalekdanceparty says:
    March 19, 2011 at 2:21 pm

    @woody500z white ancient indians!? lol. i’m sure that britain occupying india for the stint they did has nothing to do with seeing white features in the upper class. Saying stupid things makes you look stupid, remember?

  183. woody500z says:
    March 19, 2011 at 2:47 pm

    @amjwUK No, i am classifying people by their genetic makeup. Skin colour has nothing to do with it. Some southern Europeans are extremely dark in skin complexion, yet still of wholly European decent. East Asians are the native people of that area. EG Japanese, Chinese. A white man living in East Asia, isn’t East Asian decent. Idiot.

    My proof of Europeans in India? The Sanskrit is written in an Indo-European language.

    The web site was off line for hours one day last week. There has been no new content since. Elspeth is gone. Looks like a meltdown again at Rocketboom. Saying that you are preparing some piece on Japan that requires all of your resources for several days is unbelievable.

  196. squirrelboi2 says:
    March 20, 2011 at 8:39 am

    @woody500z

    i didn’t say the Japanese have never done bad things, but she will be talking about the inventions, the culture, yes she might touch on the wars, they are part of every nations history. but why are you so proud of them ? that’s all i was raising. and nobody is “forgetting” about the crusades, I’m certainly not, im a fucking history undergrad.

    and going downhill ? how so ?. yes America china and japan are the most dominant economies, but we are still (ive run out of words o well)

  199. amjwUK says:
    March 20, 2011 at 2:26 pm

    @woody500z your comment on inventions made by ‘non-white’ implies that you DO care about skin colour. you lose. until you provide an academic source that states that it was european settlers in 9th century that invented the number system and not those of indian decent, you have absolutely nothing. unless, of course you would like to attempt to say that the number system involving 0 did NOT change mankind. good luck with that.

  201. firemblemrules9 says:
    March 20, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    @bigred2989 DO THIS. As long as your going to have an entire week about Japan, I think it wouldn’t hurt to have at least one day on it. Way to go Mr. Bigred for pointing this out.

  203. woody500z says:
    March 21, 2011 at 2:09 am

    @amjwUK Your missing my point. When someone says white, they are imply the Indo-European race. Seeing no one in this world has white skin colour, besides maybe albinos. Saying white doesn’t apply to skin colour. And there is plenty of sources, you just have too look. I think its quite accepted that Indo-Europeans were in India prior to 9th century. I guess it depends on who you talk to, and who’s information and sources you read.

  204. woody500z says:
    March 21, 2011 at 2:10 am

    @squirrelboi2 Well, our birth-rates are plummeting as an alarming rate. There is no country with Europeans only. Race mixing is on the rise. Really, just look it up, we are truly facing extinction.

  205. amjwUK says:
    March 21, 2011 at 2:35 am

    @woody500z what are you talking about? of course saying white applies skin-colour. you cannot call a black man living in the uk white. period. it is YOUR claim that 9th century indians were white and YOUR claim that the european settlers there invented the number system. therefore, YOU have to provide hard evidence for it. again, until you do you have nothing.

    March 21, 2011 at 3:15 am

    @amjwUK Really? Tell me, how many people have you seen with a complete white skin tone? Whats that? None? I thought so. Therefore it is not skin colour.

    Europeans have been calling themselves white every since they came in contact with other black, or dark brown races, because what is the opposite of black? White.

  209. woody500z says:
    March 21, 2011 at 3:17 am

    @amjwUK “Some theonyms, proper names and other terminology of the Mitanni exhibit an Indo-Aryan superstrate, suggesting that an Indo-Aryan elite imposed itself over the Hurrian population in the course of the Indo-Aryan expansion.”

    Aryan is another word for Indo-European, in-case you think it means blonde hair, blue eyed Nordic.

    March 21, 2011 at 11:47 am

    By the time Rocketboom has the new content about Japan up, Molly will be a grandmother. That means we’ll all be commenting on what a GILF Molly is.

  212. Captain Kundalini says:
    March 21, 2011 at 8:46 am

    There WAS a meltdown at Rocketboom.
    A certain person propositioned a certain girl with a distinctly British sounding accent.
    The girl was shocked and burst into tears.
    The people connected with the on air talent walked out.
    That is what I heard.

  215. Dave says:
    March 21, 2011 at 5:59 pm

    After years of watching Rocketboom, I believe it is done. From Amanda, whose main assets were too frequently visible, to Joanne, whose cosmopolitan world-view and wonderful presentation skills remain the gold standard for anyone’s video blog, to Molly, whose main assets are kept relatively invisible, it has come full circle. I may never understand why Joanne was replaced with someone who is essentially a child–with terrible diction and the seeming personality of a block of wood–but it seems to have signified the decline and fall of Rocketboom. Imagine any other daily-content based television show or blog going more that a week without any episodes without explanation–completely unprofessional. The studio content has devolved markedly, and the comments above now seem to mostly be based on how poor little Molly might look in a swimsuit. This is a direct signifier of the current audience for this once excellent presentation and the reason why this long time follower is signing off.

  216. effyleven says:
    March 22, 2011 at 3:52 am

    @woody500z “The Sanskrit is written in an Indo-European Language.” Huh? Oh, I see. You think “The Sanskrit” is some sort of ancient scriptural text, don’t you? Ha ha! Thanks for the laugh, buddy. :-)

  217. woody500z says:
    March 22, 2011 at 3:59 am

    @squirrelboi2 A Greek mixing with a Scandinavian is still from wholly European stock, it doesn’t matter if Europeans mix between themselves. And race mixing is bad. You don’t think it is?

  218. squirrelboi2 says:
    March 22, 2011 at 5:10 am

    @woody500z no, could you please explain why its bad ? also im not meaning to make assumptions, and I could be wrong, but your posts have come off as racists.

  220. woody500z says:
    March 23, 2011 at 1:56 am

    @squirrelboi2 Well you wouldn’t want Siberian Tigers to mix with Bengal Tigers, and destroy its sub-species and go extinct. Why wouldn’t you think the same for human races? (Or sub-species).

    There is a big misconception about mixed raced people being healthier, this is completely false. African-Americans and Mexicans are heavily mixed race, and there are no studies what so ever proving they are healthier, whys that? They are probably less healthy, and suffer from disease risk from both sides.

  221. billykilledtony says:
    March 23, 2011 at 1:56 pm

    Way to be with the full week of content. We got one half assed video. I remember when rocketboom was awesome, and we got videos every day. Ever since Ellie and Kenyata left, it seems to have gone down hill. I’m assuming Ella left too since she hasn’t been around. It’s been 2 weeks since we got a decent video of something other than Molly acting like a stuck up bitch…

  223. amjwUK says:
    March 23, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    @woody500z obviously no one is completely white in skin tone. like no one is completely black. your failed strawman is almost funny. the point is that you CAN tell where someone has come from due to the colour of their skin. i can tell that a black mans ancestry did not originate in germany because of the colour of his skin. period. of course, you wouldn’t know anything about this since you live in oz, which is among the most stringent in immigration standards for a developed country. try again.

  224. amjwUK says:
    March 23, 2011 at 9:25 pm

    @woody500z nothing you have said points to the euro settlers inventing the number system. all you have said is that euro settled and expanded. nothing more. and no, ‘history for kids’ is NOT an academic source. try again. history(dot)mcs(dot)st-andrews(dot)ac(dot)uk/HistTopics/Zero(dot)htm talks about the first indian mathematicians. none of them have european names. most people would agree that is sufficient evidence that indigenous indians created the number system.

  225. woody500z says:
    March 25, 2011 at 3:48 am

    @amjwUK Depends on what you hear, and i’m not going to search for sources for hours upon hours, to find information for you. I have read it all, i have seen it all and i have my opinion, clearly i’m not going to change your opinion, and your not changing mine either. I’m giving up talking to you, search for yourself, as i have done mine.

  226. woody500z says:
    March 26, 2011 at 4:04 pm

    @amjwUK Well, if Germany had a native black population, yeah maybe, but seeing they are a European country, the best he could have is having an ancestor from Germany, which wouldn’t make him white, it would make him a mutt.

  227. amjwUK says:
    March 26, 2011 at 4:26 pm

    @woody500z sorry, that doesn’t cut it. this ‘i have read it all and errrr have SEEN it all hurrrr and it’s MY OPINION that’s all that matters’ bullshit isn’t going to cover up the fact that you have nothing substantial to argue with.

    i’m not even going to bother replying to that ‘mutt’ comment above since it alone speaks volumes more about you than anything i say ever could.

    March 26, 2011 at 7:45 pm

    @amjwUK I have things to argue with, but as i have said, i’m not going to spend hours, upon hours, to find them for you, who clearly isn’t going to change his mind, because you have one mindset, and that is all. I am open to all opinions and theory’s, and i have chose to believe the theory i believe in.

    And tell me, if he isn’t a mutt, what would he be?

  229. amjwUK says:
