Internet Rule #48 is Defined Herein

February 13, 2008

If you've been around the internet as much as I have you'll probably know that it has it's own set of rules. Of these rules, #34 is most famous. Rule #34 states:

If it exists, there is porn of it.

Unwanted results from an innocent Google image search is enough to say that this rule is nearly one hundred percent true. However, there is no definition for something that's even more true than rule #34 (luckily, it's also more safe for work). I hereby decree that Internet Rule #48 will be defined as:

If it exists, there is anime of it.

This rule can be nearly solely confirmed by one website: deviantArt. For anybody who has never really scoured the annals of dA, it should be noted that almost 90% of everything posted is anime or some lame attempt at anime. A good chunk of this is fan art of just about anything. It doesn't matter what TV show, movie, comic, game, or person it is or is from. If they exist, somebody has drawn it in anime form. Let's get to proving using five examples from each stated category.

TV Shows
Futurama
Dexter's Lab
SpongeBob (a true abomination)
Columbo
Greatest American Hero (as a chick, even)

Movies
Luke Skywalker (Star Wars) (too easy, I'll admit)
Garth (Wayne's World)
Rambo (First Blood)
River Tam (Serenity)
Galaxy Quest

Comics
Calvin and Hobbes
FoxTrot
Garfield
Penny Arcade (not entirely fair because even the comic's artist has anime'd the characters in one or two comics)
Charlie Brown

Games
Halo and Metroid (a twofer)
Mario (there are no good words for this one)
Guitar Hero
Psychonauts

People
Weird Al
Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon Bonaparte
Oliver Cromwell
and of course
Jesus

So, there you have it. Anything under the sun has anime art made of it, and nearly all of it can be found on deviantArt. So, let the internet propogate with the wisdom that is Internet Rule #48.
