I thoght it was pretty good too . . . but then I was in the Star Trek fandom.
Bingo. I was press liason once for an anime convention. A local reporter, being funny, ran down the list I'd prepared of our guests and mocked them, along the lines of "Person XYZ- translator - What, maybe a translator for the UN? Ha! Not likely. Person ABC- actor. Gee, I've never seen him. That's because he doesn't actually show up in the film, just his voice. Voice actor. Ha ha!"
I spent about five minutes being hacked off - it's an anime convention and he's looking for UN translators? - before realizing that he had no idea of what was going on and writing about the goofy kid with the candles taped to his head or the six foot, two hundred pound male dressed as Sailor Mercury was easier than actually finding out. And gave him funny stories to make the girls at the frat house laugh.
