Pokemon banned in Turkey
The Japan Times online is carrying an article here about a ban on Pokemon TV episode broadcasts TV because of safety concerns. Apparently two children are believed to injured themselves by leaping from the balcony of their homes allegedly in imitation of a Pokemon character.

hehe losers....i mean uhh ok 2 kids injure themselves imitatiing something from a show....so we ban the show for the entire country? WTF?! *off-topic example* Columbine incident, partial reason was constant playing of doom.....were video games banned from the entire country? hell no! This type of logic confuses me to no end.....then again my own logic confuses me sometimes.

Considering it was quake, and that it in no way had an effect on whether someone was going to commit a violent crime, yes.

Nope i'm pretty sure it was doom 2 bono. However, the real point being is that I get sick and tired of people judging something based off of one single act. So those 2 hurt themselves, what if no one else did? The show would still be cancelled even though the lesson was learned. Sometimes we need to give time to certain problems, and if they happen again, then we take action.

Well then that's their problem. Columbine happened in what--98? Why are they playing a game that was made in 92 or 93?

Don't you see--they're angry because they're playing/watching crappy media.

don't forget the backyard wrestling... which started as emulating "professional" wrestling and is now it's own "sport"/videogame.
We're a country filled to the brim with brilliant people. |
