Take this, Pikachu, you heathen

This is a link.

The Kansas Board of Education approved a controversial measure yesterday that will ban all Pokemon video games, trading cards, and related merchandise because of the franchise’s blatant promotion of evolution. The vote, which passed by a narrow margin after weeks of debate amongst members of the board, is being hailed as a victory by conservatives and religious groups.

Teachers will now be required to search their students at the beginning of the school day to make sure that they aren’t carrying any copies of the game. Any copies that are found will be immediately and permanently confiscated, and the student may be subject to punishments ranging from a temporary suspension to outright expulsion for repeat violators.

Actually, I am aware, but it makes my friend mad when I use it in the same context as WTF.

Yeah, but it does in everyone elses dictionary, so I guess you should start using it correctly before you make a fool of yourself again.

Meh, I don't mind making a fool of myself, and I like my interpretation better.

Re: Take this, Pikachu, you heathen

* The AP and other national news organizations failed to pick up the story, despite obvious newsworthiness and popular interest.
* National news outlets also failed to pick up the supposed church-led "Pokemon burnings" that supposedly led up to the decision.
* The "Calvary Glorious Christ Church Militant and Triumphant Baptist Temple" mentioned in the article turns up exactly one Google result -- the article itself.
* The Kansas School Board web site makes no mention of such an action.
* The ACLU web site makes no mention of the alleged lawsuit against the school board.
* The title bar on every page of Daily Gaming News includes the phrase "Seriously Satirical."
* Everything on the Daily Gaming News site is an obvious joke, from a preview of Dentist Dentist Revolution to Latin textbooks containing a guild naming chapter.

All that has to happen is to have Yugioh banned in the school district where I am so my brother can actually have a real life.
