Normally I try to avoid reading TV network blogs that tie in to popular shows. But I find myself drawn to them, much in the same way I'm drawn to late-night reruns of Elimidate. That's how I stumbled across the alleged blog of the fictional character Hiro (Masa Oki) from NBC's hit Heroes. The corporate blog ghostwriter creating this thing has gotten pretty lazy – most entries are one sentence – but the frenzied fans are eating it up. Each post has at least 100 comments, and sometimes as many as 500. Holy shit. What the hell are these people saying to this fictional character? Here are a few of the most memorable comments:
Jay Jay: I really have special powers, I can hear people's thoughts. Example I
hate crowded malls because it always confuses me and my mind racesbecause of my gift. I sometimes tell of things that just happened milesaway from me, without phisically being there. I can sometimes putthoughts in someone's mind. I can relate to this show real well.
jessica: I love Hiro! Why didn't CHarlie tell you that she had a tumor at the beginning of the show. U guys wouldve made a good couple!!
Kevin: There is a new kind of "hero" being developed. They are the janitorsat NBC Studios, who against all odds have managed to develop thesuperhuman ability to live on poverty wages and no health insurance,
despite cleaning up after some of the richest people on the planet.
Amazing! But, now they are fighting back! find out more at: PickingUpAfterThePeacock.
Mrs. Pratt: Hmm, still bored, huh? Well, if you have to, you could buy a fun littlegame at the next gas station when you go to buy your maps. It's called"MadLibs." I hope your English reading is good, though. Especiallyhere in America. You might have a hard time finding one in Japanese.
Some of them are pretty funny when you get them going, though Ando-sandoesn't strike me as the kind of person who would enjoy something likethat. Oh well, you never know until you try.
Griffin: God Hiro-san, Youre powers would be useful on my school bus. I havemean people on my bus. If I could freeze time, I would use my powersand stop them from being mean to everyone on the bus.
orangesun41: This show is awesome. I am digging future-Hiro's accent and flippin-sweet goatee.
