New Adult Marked for Deletion on Wikipedia


The New Adult category has been marked for deletion on Wikipedia.

But don't worry, lots of people have come in to protest and comment and tell Wikipedia what's what! You can go leave your comments if you want to make your voice heard. I'm pretty sure NA is here to stay, in spite of Wikipedia's control issues. 

Wikipedia clearly thinks NA is a fad, a made-up marketing ploy designed to suck us all in so we can be St. Martin's buying zombies.

To Wikipedia, NA seems like the hula hoops of the 50s.
hulahoop
(Are these two girls or Siamese twins?)
Or the mini skirts of the 60s.  
miniskirts
(Psst! Fashion designers everywere - my ass is begging you not to bring these back!)
Or the pet rock of the 70's.
pet rock
(Care and training of... heyyyy, wait a minute...)
Or the Gremlins of the 80's.
 gremlins
(First page of Google, folks!)
 (Not to be confused with this Gremlin...) 
Gremlin car
(Will never be cool. Ever.)
Or Tamagatchi's of the 90's.
Tamagotchi
(To be thereafter thrown in every kid's face when asking for a puppy, as in: "You couldn't even keep your Tamagotchi alive!")
Or the Furbys of 2000. 
Furby 1990
(Not cute, just creepy.)
And again in 2012...
Furby
(Beyond creepy, now their eyes glow, they talk to each other and I'm pretty sure they're planning world domination...)
But Wikipedia was wrong! NA isn't a fad!
 So people were all like:
ERBLOG11
AND
easy
AND
ERBLOG10
AND
real
AND
amazon new adult
And Wikipedia was like:
spitcerealguy
And that, my friends, was that.
