Naruto Kills

A little more negative press for the anime/game industry.

Does anyone recall a Naruto episode which had "burying heads in the sand?" I don't, but admittedly, I'm not a hardcore fan of the series. What the hell is a "sand ninja," anyway?

They're kids. Them trying to poorly reproduce the things they see will undoubtively end in some tragic occurrences, and in an age of mass media this will be a problem regardless of what "causes" it. And by the way, i'd like to pre-emptively criticize any attempt to start up a bitch fit about how "the media is always trying to go after videogams and animu", even though they rarely do the latter. This article hardly implied that the anime was to blame, some people with poor reasoning may see the name Naruto and inmediatly blame it without analising, but they can easily be proved wrong.

Poor kid though.

This isn't really anything new. Some people will be upset, some opportunistic lawyer/psychologist/politician/combo of lunatics will chant 'lawsuit' but ultimately this is just crap reporting about some stupid kid removing himself from the gene pool.

Kids constantly do dumb things and it is only by sheer luck that some don't end up in serious danger. Hell even teenagers are known for sheer obliviousness. I don't think it prudent to just say the kid was dumb or using the old "person removing himself from the gene pool". It's always easy as adults to compare ourselves to kids or teenagers and simply forget they do not think the same way we do and we tend to end up placing blame individually.

10 isn't old enough to play unsupervised. I actually blame his parents more than the kid. 10 is old enough, however, to know that inhaling sand isn't good for you.

I know I did plenty of retarded stuff as a kid. I still do retarded stuff on occasion (oh alcohol, you bring out the dumbest in people. I still love you though).

Sad that this happened, but stories like this come along every so often where a kid wants to do what he sees on TV and it ends badly.

You'd be surprised. Plus in this case, the kid may have thought his friends would dig him out when he started thrashing. Mistakes happen.

I would be surprised indeed.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm from a traditionally enormous Catholic family and spent hours and hours watching over anywhere from 2 to 8 young cousins, but accidents like this only happen when someone or a combination of someones have been incredibly stupid or negligent. You have to teach kids at every turn, ASAP, when they've made their 'boo-boos' so that their incredibly bad attention span can still absorb the 'this action = pain, stop doing it.' The fact that the parents didn't send someone tasked to do that rings alarm bells for me. This is bad news, don't get me wrong I do have a human heart. But by year's end it's just another 'stop being bad parents' statistic.

Don't worry, i'm in no way saying that you're cold blooded, i don't stoop to that kind of rhetoric to make a point. I'm simply saying that people often judge kids and teenagers using the mind of an adult and that is simply faulty reasoning, but i'm not exactly saying you do this, just that you might be. Kids often get into these tight spots and while some do avoid getting into very dangerous situations, at least a good portion of them get into these sort of problems anyway, even if you warn them beforehand, it's just how the minds of kids work. Experience is usually the best teacher for a kid, but in this case the kid wasn't lucky enough to survive to learn the lesson. And i absolutely agree with you on the supervision bit.

At least they didn't blame South Park, which also had an episode involving burying peoples' heads in the sand like Naruto.

[Kiro]

Stupidity is nature's way of saying, "You aren't gonna make it, sorry lol."
