Hurray! I'm back from my 5-day trip to Virginia Beach to mingle with relatives!!! And it was great...

There were low points (over 5 days average humidity was approx 98.6%) and high points (evangelizing my Survivor-loving cousin to the joys of the real Survivor: Survival Kids!!!!! No free rice on that island...) but my favorite part was traveling back, when we went through a town by car, and saw one of those little gas station stores called Han-Dee Hugos or whatever, except this one had the coolest name ever!!!

It was called...

(I swear I am not making this up)

Philip: Akemi, answer me... Akemi? What happened?

Akemi: I think it's almost time for us to say goodbye.  Philip... Live, alright?  I'm sure living is wonderful.

Philip: Akemi...I...I'm in the glass... in the water, but water is flowing from my eyes...what is this?

Akemi: That's probably... tears.

Philip: Tears?

Akemi: Papa said all living things don't shed tears unless their bodies hurt.  And the only ones who shed tears because they're sad are humans... Philip.

Philip: Huh?

Akemi: ...Thank you for your tears.  But Philip, don't cry.  You're going to live. And I'm sure living is wonderful.

Philip: Akemi, it won't stop... the tears... what should I do? Akemi... answer me...

A while ago I asked if I should bring back trivia. I was expecting some feedback from other ppl on the site. -Robb

I will mash you. I will CRUSH you. -Freeze Man

When it comes to things getting dumbed down for American audiences, I have two theories:

1.  The companies that translate the movies, books, etc., think that parents will fly off the hook about even the slightest thing - and they're usually right.  Parents are way too overprotective, or they offer not protection at all. Or...

2.  America is just stupid.  This is the theory I actually think is correct - there's more evidence here (Such as the popularity of MTV).  I can't tell any jokes at school that require moderate thinking, it flies over the other student's (and on occasion, teacher's) heads.  Also, things are dumbed down for the same reason - Americans might not understand them.  "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the first book in the series (which I highly recomend), was actually called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in England.  The book revolves around the mythical alchemist's dream, the Philosophher's Stone, which turns any metal to gold and can create the "Elixer of Life".  This stone was actually belived to exsist in the middle ages, and was the basis of Alchemy...But to sell the book, they changed the title and all references to the stone in the book's text.  Why would they think that Philosopher's Stone wouldn't sell to American kids?  Simple - the general American public is just too damn stupid.  Even my first theory can cross over here - why would 4Kids change the themes of Pokémon movies?  Simple - they don't understand some of the movie's concepts, so they don't think their kids will.  So they are afraid that they might just be exposing their children to something that would warp the child's mind, when it would stimulate it.

Well, that's my two cents.  Although it seemed more like a few dollars. -Sebulba113
