JAPANESE KIDS SAFE FROM BRAIN DAMAGE

  Parents need not worry. Japanese kids are not likely to suffer
brain damage caused by watching American anime.

  All children who watch American anime apparently suffer brain
damage from watching the shows, all of which seem to be geared at
lowering the general intelligence level of the viewing audience, and
crippling their minds in such a way that they actually find the shows
enjoyable.

  "American animation is so different from what airs here," claims a
source at TV Tokyo who does not wish to be named. "It's geared
towards two-year-old children, mental retards, and teenagers who were
too stupid to make it into high school. As far as we know, they don't
have storylines at all, just blatant acts of stupidity."

To True.  Although I will admit I do find that Gargoyles stands out from the
rest as actually
having been aimed at an audiance with a mental capacity somewhat greater
than a turnip.

Okay, so that was petty, cheap, and cruel. I just couldn't help
myself.

Nice piece of work Lurker.  You ought to forward the article part to USA
Today.  Perhaps it would help them get in touch with reality.

'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order, smite
The sounding furrows, for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset and the baths
Of all the western stars until I die.
