Apparently an anime fanclub I joined is "harassing" Gen. Chuck Yeager

[Ran]

So there's this anime show airing in Japan called Strike Witches which is about a bunch of girls flying around and fighting monsters. It's set during the WWII era and all of the female leads are personifications of WWII fighter pilots:

Kaneyoshi Mutou -> Miyafuji Yoshika
Saburou Sakai -> Sakamoto Mio
Wolf Dietrich Wilcke -> Minna-Dietline Wilcke
William Avery Bishop -> Lynette Bishop
Pierre Clostermann -> Perrine H. Clostermann
Erich Alfred Hartmann -> Erica Hartmann
Gerhard Barkhorn -> Gertrud Barkhorn
Franco Lucchini -> Francesca Lucchini
Charles E. Yeager -> Charlotte E. Yeager
Eino Ilmari Juutilainen -> Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen
Lydia V. Litvyak -> Sanya V. Litvyak

Well, a club member decided to make a post on Gen. Yeager's MySpace page to let him know. They asked where they could get more information about it so he could check it out. I say "they" because Gen. Yeager is 85 years old and more-than-likely can't maintain a computer, much less type with the precision of a 25yr. old. We give them the information and they tell us that it's nothing concerning legal matters. They're just curious.

Well, now anime blogs across the net are now going this way with it:

We hear that legendary aviator Chuck Yeager (85) is being hassled on his MySpace page by people desperate to inform him that pantsu witch Charlie (Charlotte) Yeager is based on him. Have they nothing better to do?

lol wut? There are two non-confrontational posts on his page amongst the legion of spam there.

It seemed funny and rediculous to me so I just thought I'd share.

Here's a link to our club if you're curious: http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=1900
