Confirmation of Petition

[squeaky-spooky.livejournal.com]

Apparently the rumors about a petition in Korea to cancel the Hetalia anime are true:

No plans to cancel it as of yet. Interestingly enough, there were never plans for Korea to be in the anime.

Ah, there's the issue: the second link listed above ( http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20090113-00000034-yom-int ) is not the full Yomiuri Shimbun article, but an edited version that Yahoo! Japan News posted. It's missing the last three paragraphs from the full article:

http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/world/news/20090113-OYT1T00441.htm

Those three paragraphs, which are only in the full article, has the statement from the television channel that Korea won't be in the anime version.

For curiosity's sake, what issues do you have with ANN — at least, in the news reporting? I have a professional interest in this. :)
