Boy imitates Naruto, Dies

[Ice Cold]

lol relys got pwned

But "Nerutu Sand Ninajs", that was funny.

In all seriousness though, things like this have happened before. It's pretty tragic though. I can see raving parents trying to ban Naruto from the TV stations. That'd be fine by me, as the dub sucks anyway.

Pfft I so posted this 5 days ago, old news

I assume this is American (I can't watch the video right now) and it makes me really sad; for whatever reason in Japan, children mostly understand the difference between fiction and reality. In America it seems like this is far less true - parents need to emphasize the difference between the vast amount of fiction today's children consume and reality.

 

[silent sniper]

wow, not to far from me either (go BC).


but i cannot give any pity for a stupid narutard.

 

[rashef]

I blame 4kids... if they'd play original japanese version then kids would know... bury in sand = death = baaad. Oh well, congratulations for politically correct and violence-free television.

 

[martin88]

So in Naruto they bury people's head in sand and they live?

no, why the hell would a 10 year old bury himself alive in a sandbox.. i KNOW when i was 10 i wasn't that stupid..

I think you're ten years old, because if you could read you would know that he didn't bury himself.

And it could be argued that it was his parents responsibility to teach him the difference between what is okay to do, and what is not okay ... what is safe, and what is dangerous ... someone else mentioned this earlier, when talking about the difference between fantasy and reality.

So many children spend more time with the television, than with their parents.

Accidents do happen, and children do things without thinking, but the child and his brother ... who was also involved in the incident, I believe, were not infants ... 10 is old enough to be able to discern what is safe and what is dangerous.

People should not blame the cartoon series, but the child's parents for not teaching him basic self-preservation.

But America seems obsessed with actively disregarding safety, and self-preservation ... shows such as Jackass, and videos such as Bum Fights, encourage self-destructive behaviour in the young, and the young-minded.

Someone else buried him, therefore it's even less of a reason to accuse him of stupidity.

 

[martin88]

Well I'd think a 10 years old boy is intelligent enough to not let other people bury his head?

 

[Jdbye]

Poor guy. It WAS kind of stupid of him, but still.
I feel sorry for his family.

well who the heck would let someone bury him ? i wouldnt let my friend bury me, even if i wanted him to... and that did not make sense but whatever.. >_>

i think it was sad and I think it' disgusting that people are getting a kick out of it. Maybe tv shows should have a small warning saying that they should not try this because this is fiction(for shows they know kids are watching). kids have a vast imagination and they've done many things that can be deemed ridiculous to us. I almost killed myself at a young age of 7 because I wasn't thinking about the outcome of my actions. I just think it is very sad news and I don't think the kids death should be laughed at or criticized.


Peach uses a frying pan and a golf club to attack in SSBB, let's hope kids aren't mimicking her, I mean kids just think, "I want to be as cool as that person!" (maybe peach isn't a good example lol)

 

[tojomajojo]

its god sick little way to make sure dumbasses don't reproduce

 

[natkoden]

Narutu

 

[Flooded]

SAND COFFIN!

 

[Lumstar]

Poor kid

I remember hearing one time that these two children were imitating Mortal Kombat - and one stabbed the other and killed him.

These TV Shows and video games are harmful to these kids. Damn

@Jacob and theclaw - you guys are douchebags. When you were a kid - I'm sure you tried to imitate your favorite cartoon, comic book hero, etc. This is a kid we're talking about. Not someone old enough to "know better." That's pretty fucked up to say, and pretty insensitive too. Go crawl into a cave and die

Um... Well, yeah! I'm a TROLL. It would be completely wrong to say anything that others find reasonable.

 

[AlexFili]

The guyy that did the burying is clearly intending to kill the boy. I mean, what happens after Gaara uses the Sand Coffin move? THEY DIE. Seems like murder to me.
