Satanism in Pokemon

And with that, I leave you all with this wonderful newsletter that you can print out and hand out in YOUR community.

I choose you, Satanchu!


EDIT:

I see a flaw in this strategy.


EDIT2:

That's not how I remember this episode.

EDIT3:

I lol'd a bit.

EDIT4:

This is true. It really isn't an accident. Good find.

EDIT5:

I have a personal story about this. One time, I was in a classroom and the kids were shooting spitwads everywhere. Now I know what they were really doing: trying to immobilize me with their acid sprays.

 

The was once a rumour here in Turkey. It said "Gotta catch'em all in the Pokemon theme is Satanic propaganda, because when it's played backwards, it says 'I love Satan'".

Even 10 year old me didn't give credit to the rumour enough to search for a backwards played "Gotta catch'em all", needless to say (Which would sound "La miçek adag", I guess, in Turkish Latin Alphabet (phonetic), which isn't I love Satan in Turkish or in English). Now I'm curious though.

 

Tada!

 

From the article:

 

Damn, we're surrounded.

 

I wonder if it's ever crossed the minds of any government agency that perhaps, just perhaps, that little dingbat Darlene or tourette Tommy did something redicuously stupid because mommy or daddy wasn't around to keep an eye on their bastardized hellspawn.

 

I was pissed as a fan of the show/kid. The idiot thought he was Butterfree and jumped off the window. He'd probably be a transvestite roaming the Istiklal Avenue after midnight, imitating a butterfly and all.

The Former Health Minister Osman Durmus is another matter. I'd talk about his exploits, but they deserve a thread of their own. Just as a spoof though - he was the health minister when the anthrax mail attacks were hapening in the US.

 

Fundamentalist? No sex life unless you got married?

(Basing this on the reactions of our own Islamists)

 

It makes perfect sense, yeah. I mean, a kid does something like steal money from his mom's purse and blames the devil, the parents believe it and burn the cards, knowing them to be instruments of Satan.
It's not like they could've prevented the child from indulging in the cool crime of stealing by saying not to do it, or, god forbid, showing the child the value of an earned dollar.

 

Nice find, Grakelin.
This has inspired me to burn all my M:tG card.
My Arabian Nights, Antiquities almost a full set of Legends plus everything else are now just a pile of soul freeing ash.
Thank you for saving my soul.
As an afterthought, I've found fire to be quite cleansing.
I think I should start cleaning everyone else’s soul.
I think I'll start with that building over there...

 

Don't forget all your Black Lotus' PapaDog.

I like your idea... I know that "devil" was defined in one of my dictionaries as; technology.

Why not burn down the TV and Radio Stations while you're at it. I think the library has computers in it.

 

Then I guess I'll just have to play Osiris, and not against you as well.

 

I'm weak. I couldn't burn my Lotus. I only have the one. Signed. In acid free hard plastic. Oh woe is me.

@DarkFool: Oh, we could still play. I got this brand new set of Pokemon ca.......Damn it!

 

Anything that spawned such shitty anime that I STILL get the urge to watch more than a decade after breaking myself of it... must be the spawn of Satan. It must be.

 

No, it might be the hypnotic flashing colors. The first season of Pokemon was said to invoke seizures in Japan's youth.
