Hey guys, REALLY need your help!

**Dave** · 07-28-2010, 6:28 AM

Hey guys, just posting to say that right now I REALLY need all your help. I am currently petitioning for a US Visa so that I may work in the US for a while with Rob and the other guys on new Cyanide & Happiness animated cartoons. This particular Visa is an O1 Visa, a Visa specifically given to artists who have achieved a lot in their chosen field. Sadly, the 'powers that be' have recently informed me that they don't believe Cyanide & Happiness to be worthy of this Visa, claiming that it is not world-renowned.

I think it's time we educated them! If you and your friends are a fan of Cyanide & Happiness in ANY WAY whatsoever, I would be amazingly appreciative if you signed this petition:

We are not asking for donations, so please ignore that. Signing is free! It would be AMAZING if you could tell all your friends who love the cartoon to sign this too, for the good of Cyanide & Happiness. PLEASE help us out! Let's get this rolling! Tell everyone you know! This is biiiig!

Again, that link:

You deserve this, Dave! I'll be the first one to sign it!

smadge1 · 07-28-2010, 6:32 AM

I signed it earlier today, maybe after you're finished visiting the USA, you might come down-under to Australia. We can chuck a bucket of shrimps on the barbie mate! :P

Also, did you tell them that you guys have a wikipedia page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_and_Happiness

They don't hand them out like candy these days.

If you want to come to my country, you have to do it like everybody else, cross the Mexican border into Arizona.

DiscoMcDisco · 07-28-2010, 6:47 AM

Nearly 6000 signatures already. Who the fuck do the US Government think they are, denying a true artist his Visa... we'll show them..

She7ta · 07-28-2010, 6:48 AM

So...what's wrong with a regular visa?

memelpx · 07-28-2010, 6:49 AM

TheDragunman · 07-28-2010, 7:01 AM

Hello,I signed the petition, it is the least i can do for you.This site has given me hours of fun, enjoyment, baby kicking and eye stabbing for quite some time.

Decky · 07-28-2010, 7:09 AM

Done, don't come back.

GeorgeP · 07-28-2010, 7:17 AM

I signed it. But why, for the love of dog, do you want to come INTO the US? The economy sucks here. For the record, I live in Fenton and work in Detroit.

Decky · 07-28-2010, 7:21 AM

Have you ever been to Belfast? The best thing anyone who lives in Belfast can accomplish is being crushed by a truck.

With a regular visa he only gets to stay in the US for 30 days at a time and he's not allowed to work. If he overstays or gets caught working he is likely to be deported and denied entry to the US in the future. It's not worth the risk if you have serious plans of working in the US legitimately.

A vote from London.

matus1810 · 07-28-2010, 7:38 AM

A vote from northern Mexico...

And if you don't get your VISA, we can get you in the good-old fashion way.

Communist · 07-28-2010, 7:54 AM

I don't know why you'd want to get into The States; they spell things incorrectly, haven't caught up with the metric system, and everyone has guns!

But still signed from New Zealand, good luck Dave!

wesleynaves · 07-28-2010, 8:06 AM

Brazil, South America vote to you..

but i dont see why you want so much a VISA... MASTERCARD is much better :P

Consensus · 07-28-2010, 8:10 AM

Signed from Amsterdam here.

To make a comparison: The Van Gogh museum here (Van Gogh is an extraordinary artist, right?) got 1.451.139 visitors* last year.
C&H get 374,325 visitors per day enough said?

That means he is 9415% more popular than our famous painter!

Wouldn't you accept such an extraordinary artist in your nation?!

Signed from France !!! And transmitted to all my friends with hairs on their armpits !!!!!

bowenj10 · 07-28-2010, 8:57 AM

Perhaps you need to go the really cheap route and have a comic drawn up to advertise your petition. I mean, almost 10,000 signatures is great and all, but you could really go big with a shout out in a comic.

Not world renowned my ass. We'll show them any way we have to.

Mouaha, it's really a cliché indeed. Nowadays the only women with hairs on their armpits are Cheetah and Julia Roberts.

Elementaltalon · 07-28-2010, 9:21 AM

Vote from Nothern Ohio. Almost 10,000 signatures!
Also, they must not know that C&H has a Wikipedia page.
