    Boy Dies Copying Naruto
    Story from NarutoCentral
    Story from otakutimes

    Youtube Clip of News Coverage (Note: You will hear several Na-Roooo-Toe's)
    Note: At the time the news report was made the boy hadn't died, but he does later.

    Another Youtube Clip of news coverage

    When a 10 year old boy is left alone with 5 other children, none of whom are smart enough to realize that burying someone head first in a foot of sand will not give them super powers, and is in fact a terrible idea, is it not clearly the fault of Naruto and by extension all anime and perhaps even all of Japan?

    obviously not bright enough. im glad he wont be passing on his genes.

    Not bright but he must have been extremely imaginative to think he would somehow miraculously survive suffocation. Normally people tend to take breathing pretty seriously, and lack imagination to come up with ways to live without air.

    Though being imaginative didn't really help in the end.

    ^^ Yeah... I don't even think it's humanly possible to hold your breath until you die. That kid must have been stuck or something. I don't think the sand in a sandbox is that thick and heavy that he couldn't get out on his own if he couldn't breathe.

    Conspiracy I say!!

    But seriously... I don't know what those kids were thinking.

    Beware....you children may ALSO be copying sand jootsos!
    Sounds like a national crisis to me.

    Also....
    How does one get buried from their head to their shoulder? Like an ostrich? Couldn't he just...you know....lift himself up out of the sand?

    “They watch a cartoon where they were like sand masters or something and they can manipulate sand or something like that. They came up with the idea that if he were to do this then he would be able to be one of them”

    Thats what they were thinking, dumb fucks.

    Someone forgot to tell him that his eyes have to be red and have multiple holes in it before he can copy jootsos

    i also suspect foul play, you cant just die outright from being with your head in the sand, he couldve dug himself out, i mean you start to feel when you run out of air, them other bitch kids were prolly holding him down or some shit.

    Yeah. Logic would dictate so. Unless the kid has some sort of a medical condition that suddenly made him lose control or consciousness and thus he couldn't remove his head from the sand.

    Dude looks like a lady



    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Things like this happen all the time, and this time it happens to come from an anime. Children (though I hesitate to call 10yr olds children) like to imitate, and hence lots of movies and stuff have PG. Parental Guidance is required to teach them what to learn, and what is bad, and what not. Not really blaming the parents, but I bet you they didn't tell him not to copy that. Hell, knowing busy parents these days, they probably don't even know what Naruto is until this happened.

    That's one step away from letting a program control reproduction and later government! Just you watch..

    Yeah it is. My friend is a robotics major and former robotics freak from HS. He says that they're the wave of the future. He and I always disagree on that subject because he thinks they'll be helping us. Then after we watched (I, Robot the movie) I used that whole movie as a thesis to my defense. It works the whole time against him.

    In case anybody hasn't heard about this yet: http://www.wftv.com/news/15817394/detail.html
    POLK COUNTY, Fla. -- Video was released late Monday afternoon showing a brutal beating at the hands of a gang of teenage girls. Their motivation for the attack was allegedly so they could post the video on YouTube and MySpace.

    The victim reported the attack after she was beaten so badly she had to be treated at the hospital. That's when the sheriff's office started looking into it and learned about the video.

    The sheriff calls it shocking, saying he's never seen anything like it. It was a vicious attack all captured on home video inside a Polk County home.
