I'm a boy and I didn't like the animation and I'd like to say that's rude to say something like that...

The Advent Calendar. A bright cheery peice of Neopian Holiday Season. Great gifts are given out to one and all day after day at this lovely place in Happy Valley. As well as these colourful and pleasant surprises, such as plushies and books, there is a joyful animation to go along with each gift! Why, some days we see Faeries singing, other days those cute li'l Hasees are eating their fill of Doughnut Fruit; and who can forget the joy of seeing a little Feepit being thrown into a large cooking pot and boiled to death?!

Well, I certainly can't forget it. And I really, really wish I could.

Muwahahahahahahahaha!! Today's advent callendar animation was creul and evil, but in a good way! It may give kids nightmares!! This advent callendar animation is not for feepit lovers, which I don't care about them anymore. BEWARE!!!!

I edited my orignal quote, and it's not rude, for the most part it's been true. Most of the people I have asked that have liked it and thought it was hillarious have been boys. Most of the people that have found it horrible have been girls. And in my edit I did say, it's not saying that all boys will like it and all girls will hate it. It's just been most of the case this time.

I personally don't see anything terrible about this animation. I work with kids all day long (kindergarten through 6th grade). I know that there are a whole bunch of kids (including the youngest) that would laugh hysterically at this animation, while other kids would probably be a little saddened by it. But it's not going to scar kids for life.

Now, what may scar me for life is another animation of a certain faerie queen...That one screenshot that was up on the boards and everyone had to talk about it....That's scary.

The main part I thought was rude was the -_-. If you had put a

then I would have taken it as more of a joke...

The thing is, it wasn't a joke. I'm being completely serious. In my experience of talking to people there has been an extreme difference.

I guess I'm not understanding why this is so offensive. I didn't say all, or single you out hon. This has just been my experience.

Woah woah woah. *wants a subject change, since this topic is about the bright and bubbly Advent Calendar*

So what do you think'll be there tomorrow? *scratches head nervously*

It wasn't boiled to death, it was turned into a lovely cake

I think you're all putting your own twisted spins on it. Its very suggestive after all A simple animation can turn into:
"Listen to the feepit's mournful shrieks of pure terror as it is tossed into a pot where you can see its flesh burn and its fur sizzle, releasing the odor of seared flesh and hair into the damp dungeon air! And then as its cries die down with its PAINFUL and HORRIFYING death, the cauldron suddenly transforms into a cake with frosting made from its torture induced pain and the cake made from its innocent blood! Then the three plunge their utensils into what had been the poor feepit, and eat each bite with the relish and delight of true evil"

Except they'd be deflated like crazy.. I doubt worth more than 10k, if even 10k.

O_o Some of you are being a little melo-dramatic. I mean, doesn't TNT have foods your pets can eat that are made of other pets (Meerca Pie, Quiggle Pie)?

I'd also like to know that if it were an ugly petpet would you all act the same? o_O

As for me, I really didn't have any strong feelings for this animation.
