FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!

"FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!" is a Facebook public group established by Chris to continue his noble struggle to pressure Sega into returning the color of Sonic the Hedgehog's arms to pristine flesh. He made the group almost immediately after being kicked out of his previous group on 29 November 2014 for making death threats. Chris was only able to make minimal use of the page before his arrest. The site remains active in early 2015, but has apparently been abandoned by Chris and overrun by weens.

Raison d'etre

The purpose of this group is to express our concerns to SEGA about the changes that have been made to Sonic the Hedgehog's arm colour. The old adage, "If it is not broke, don't fix it" is especially valid in this case. This group feels that changing the colour of Sonic's arms to Blue is Wrong, Erroneous, Monstrous, Offensive, and the BIGGEST MISTAKE SEGA HAS EVER MADE SINCE STOPPING THEIR CONSOLES AFTER THE DREAMCAST, and that it is Horrifically Detrimental to the quality of the character. And this is Regardless to the gameplay, stories, related/cannon or not, and all else aside. SONIC'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE!!! And We Will Be Heard By EVERYONE, and Force SEGA to Recall Everything Sonic Boom, including Forcing Cartoon Network to Pull the Sonic Boom show Off The Air, and SEGA CHANGES HIS ARMS BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL COLOUR IMMEDIATELY!!! #SEGA #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicBoom #Nintendo #CartoonNetwork #GameStop #ToysRUs #WalMart #Target #BestBuy #WiiU #Wii #3DS #DS #DSi #AmyRose #Tails #Knuckles #Robotnik #Eggman

Call to arms

5 December 2014 I have copied/pasted the earlier post of how and when I came about the blue armed mistake, along with a link to this group page, to SEGA Customer Service (having to use my Yahoo address, since they blocked/suspended my AOL address). Anyhow, to my utter disgust, I have received their Static Response! I will try telephoning them personally on the matter, and I urge EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME, as well as PROTEST FURTHER WITH PICKET SIGNS, POSTERS AND WHATNOT, IN FRONT OF AS MANY GAMESTOPS AND TOYS R US STORES AS POSSIBLE! TELL THEM ALL TO SEND ALL REMAINING ARTIFACTS OF SONIC BOOM BACK TO SEGA IN THE NAME OF SEGA RECALLING THE GAMES AD CARTOON TO CHANGE HIS ARM COLOUR BACK IMMEDIATELY!!! I am unavailable to schedule such a protest in my area, due to my responsibilities at home. But I urge everyone else who are able to: SET UP AND LITERALLY PICKET PROTEST!!!

Utterly repulsive

Chris responded to news of a second season for the TV show:

5 December 2014 BOO!!! I would only permit this happening ONLY IF THEY HAVE CHANGED THE ARM COLOUR BACK FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES!!! >:(

And furthermore, this notion and News is most Utterly Repulsive and Inexcusible!!! >:(

Suggestions for getting arrested

On 6 December, Chris gave instructions regarding specific actions his legions should take. He stickied this missive to the top of the page on 13 December.

6 December 2014 EVERYONE! I am going to hand-write to SEGA about this matter, and I have just called their 1-800 number and left a message last night. I will call again middle of this coming week if they do not call me back. I am urging everyone in the group to write and/or telephone SEGA as well, and INSIST and DEMAND upon them to Recall Everything Sonic Boom, including the cartoon and video games, and Change Sonic's Arm Colour Back Immediately!!! Suggest for them to do the following: -Recall ALL remaining stock of the Sonic Boom Games and Merchandise from ALL of the stores carrying them. -On the eSHOPS, IMMEDIATELY change the initial software to reflect Sonic with his original Tan Colour Arms, as well ALL video and imagery therein on there. -Replace ALL of their imagery and videos on their official websites and pages to reflect Sonic with the original tan colour arms as well. -IMMEDIATELY create NEW game Cards, Discs AND Inserts with Sonic's original tan colour arms. And on the software, the arm colour MUST be there INITIALLY; BEFORE any downloaded Software Updates. -INSTILL downloadable Software Updates for all of the already sold games to reflect Sonic Initially with tan colour arms as well. -REMOVE the Sonic Boom Cartoon from the Television and Internet airwaves, and change ALL of the Season One Episodes for Sonic to have his Original Tan Colour Arms, and Initially make that default in ALL following Seasons of episodes, including the Second Season. -AND They Must Announce this Recall and Update, As well as Apologies to Every Individual Person who Has Found Little to GREATEST Offense in the new Arm Colour, IMMEDIATELY, WORLDWIDE BROADCAST AND IN PRINTED MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS EVERYWHERE!!! Also, copy and paste the following true statement in your letters and telephone conversations: "The very sight of Sonic's Blue Arms makes our ally, Christian Weston Chandler of Ruckersville, VA, suffer from consistent Sensory Overloads. Upon seeing them, his brain immediately shuts down into a momentary to lengthy (depending on how long he is forced to displeasingly endure the horrific sight) state of mental paralysis. Combined with his Autism, he only gets more angry as each day passes with this pair of blue arms still remains. Either the Change back to him having tan colored arms happens IMMEDIATELY, or he and our THOUSANDS to MILLIONS of allies in the Sonic the Hedgehog Loyal Fanbase will only get more Angry and Outraged to the point of coming right over there to your office and doing something Very Bad there." Also, if somehow you have managed to receive a copy of either Sonic Boom game (no questions asked), you should SMASH the Game Disc and or Game Card, and enclose the pieces with your Letter to SEGA of America. To show them that we are Very Serious and Passionate towards Rectifying their mistake in changing Sonic's arm colour. Below is their address, and Customer Support phone number; LET'S GIVE THEM HELL AND BACK IN FORCING THEM TO WISE UP AND CHANGE SONIC'S ARMS BACK IMMEDIATELY!!! SEGA of America Inc. 350 Rhode Island St, Suite 400 San Francisco, CA 94103 1-800-872-7342‬

Sonic's arms, fixed

On 19 December, Chris uploaded no fewer than 42 photos of Sonic which he had recolored to his satisfaction. Individually, the images are boring as fuck, but collectively, the gallery does a good job of showing Chris's tenacity and obsession surrounding this issue. He recolored images of Sonic which appeared on t-shirts, fast food cups, shopping bags, and cosplayers. Clearly this gallery was meant to be more than an example to his followers. It is a desperate, one-man effort to bring the world back into balance, one tan arm at a time.

About 10 minutes's worth of MSPaint

Then Chris got arrested.
