Seriously, I thought this thread was about Elfen Lied and his bucket. I was wrong, I guess.

It does have some meaning, actually, it just doesn't have an English equivalent. They spam it because Suiseiseki in Rozen Maiden ends almost all of her sentences with it. Used like that, it is there to add a sort of cutesy tone to the character. Although it is commonly translated as an emphatic way of talking, because she fully pronounces it, and in common speech it is commonly shortened to "des" or "da" or dropped altogether. It is only fully pronounced in more formal and, as I mentioned, emphatic speech. But it's just, basically, a linking verb.
I hope that satisfactorily explains it. They way they use it is stupid and annoying. The are not cute people, and it is not necessary that every sentence they type be emphasized. It's pretty much just offensive to the culture and language it comes from.

Hm...odds are that not a lot of people are actually going to read that...
Oh well, the gist is that it's overuse is pointless and completely inappropriate from a linguistic point of view.

i lol'd HARD irl when i saw that =p

I just feel like stealing his bucket...just so I can lol :lol:

You're not very nice. I mean that poor walrus/manatee/obese sea lion worked hard to get that bucket. Look how happy he is with his accomplishment.

For shame, for shame.
