el oh el.

In his defense, he was 10. If a teenager did it, it'd be funnier.

lol

I can't wait for otakus to start yelling about Naruto being anime, not a cartoon.

It's a cartoon.

Naruto is anime.

What are you talking about?

Yeah I'm not following you either.

Anime is japanese animation.

Animation drawn or rendered in 2d is traditionally called a cartoon.

:/ There are some people who treat calling anime anything else taboo.

Well it's anime. I don't see where the confusion is.

It's the same as a japanese comic being called manga. You can't go to Japan and call their manga comics, and you can't call American comics manga.

American made - cartoon.
Japanese made - anime.

Simple?

He died in the hospital.

I'm expecting the next releated article to be something about the horrors of anime or a lawsuit against viz.

I agree Naruto is an anime. I never said it wasn't. It's a cartoon, though. Kind of like how Catholics are Christians. It's a denomination.

They might want gootube to take down even more anime.

I wonder who wrote that article, because it doesn't really make sense.

1. Funny animals
2. Zany humor
...
7. Anime?

Word usage In Japan, the term does not specify an animation's nation of origin or style; instead, it is used as a blanket term to refer to all forms of animation from around the world.[11][12] In English, dictionary sources define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or "a style of animation developed in Japan".[13] Non-Japanese works that borrow stylization from anime is commonly referred to as "anime-influenced animation" but it is not unusual for a viewer who doesn't know the country of origin of such material to refer to it as simply "anime".

I guess it's just a dumb discussion to have, though. Call it a cartoon if you like, but it's like calling a French baguette a sub roll.

That was one stupid kid! "Drown me in sand! I wanna be a sand ninja when i grow up!" Sound smart to you?

Yeah kids are pretty stupid.

poorly formed frontal lobe :P
Still, Who would do that?

The main part about it is he went in headfirst. That was the unintelligent part about all of this. If he had gone in feet first, he'd probably not even gone to the hospital.

Another thing, I've watched Naruto up till the episode that just came out (Episode 50 of Naruto Shippuuden) and I don't recall a move that ever involved a dunk into sand headfirst. In fact I don't remember a dunk for that matter. If only kids were born smarter now-a-days. *sigh*

If he didn't go head first, by the time he was drowning in sand, they might not have been able to get him out...

It was a foot of sand, IIRC.

It is not that hard to get out of a foot of sand unless you are the one in it. Even then it is pretty easy.

A foot of sand isn't very much, yes, but if the sand was compacted, then it would be harder.

I've burried my feet in sand before without going to the hospital. Then again, I am pretty awesome.
