batlham Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Speaking of light that can give convulsions; I read an article somewhere about when Pokemon first aired in Japan (I am NOT making any reference to a recently opened pokemon thread here) there was a certain attack scene in which the flashing colors caused about 100 kids across Japan who was watching it to have seizures. I feel bad but at the same time its sort of funny.It wasn't pokemon..kinda like it though. It was a little cat looking thing with flashing red eyes. I tried real hard to get that anime..but no luck. I can't remmber the name though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be we're talking about two separate incidences. That would make the subject more laughable I think. But all the same, I wouldn't want my kid to suffer a seizure; they could get hurt....

I was wrong about the 100 kids, according to this article, 635 kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentWeevil2077 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Speaking of hand grenades... I have an idea - how about the "Holy Hand Grenade". It's not just a regular grenade, but "the" grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kungfubellydancer Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh, okay. How about the Tongue-Untwister! I don't know how many times I try to explain something and I just can't seem to get my point clear, so the TU automatically knows exactly what I meant to say and says it for me. That way I'm not talking in cryptic messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have time to go to a spa? Don't have the money to spend on a masseuse/masseur? Then you need "Spa in a Can"! It will instantly refresh and revitalize you, as if you had a "spa day."

So when she gets spoiled, she is disposable. Ohh lord help me...I went to a all time low there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
