That is just a wee bit F'd up. Man, some peoples mentalities just escape me. Then again if it wasn't Pokemon then it would of been something else most likely.

Thats not really that funny...

It seems they are blaming Pokemon for this kids life when it should of been another cause. The Pokemon cards just pushed the kid over the edge, but how did he get there in the first place?

While this is certainly tragic, blaming Pokemon isn't going to solve anything. I don't play Pokemon but I highly doubt that it endorses, or even mentions, suicide.

This boy had other problems.

What a sad world we live in. The kid hung himself because of depression, not Pokemon! <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Two words: BAN POKEMON!

And, yes, the kid did commit suicide because of depression. The taking of his cards was just the last straw.

Isn't it amusing that society likes to lay the blame of tragedies on pop media items. Now let's not blame the parents for not seeing the warning signs in their child... let's blame pokemon cards, cause that will make mom and dad feel so much better about themselves. Can we stuff Pokemon cards down the throats of the boys parents in the gleeful chance that one may die on a rare hologram charmander card! Pokemon has not taken its last victim!

This is ridiculous.
There is nothing wrong with Pokemon. It's just a game/cartoon character and what's wrong with it? That kid is stupid enough not focusing his priority but on stupid pokemon cards.
In middle east countries, some of them ban Pokemon. That's ridiculous too......
Because "Pokemon" will affect faith to the God among young generation ?!@#%

If you say BAN POKEMON, then let's BAN VIDEO GAME, MOVIES, CARTOON, etc...

How about BAN MAI? Her bouncy chest will make teenagers to conduct some evil actions....WTF

And, I find it interesting that you guys didn't bother to read the second part of my statement. I said that the reason the kid killed himself was because of depression and not Pokemon. The ban Pokemon comment was purely sarcastic! I just happen not to like Pokemon. Man, I thought I took stuff too seriously!!

I laughed at when the kid was injured when she jumped off a low roof thinking she was a super pokemon. i hated pokemon with a passion then.

but dontcha think has gone a bit too far?

This is more than a wee bit F'd up.

Must....kill....Pikachu! <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

The kid needed intervention. Couldn't someone involved have seen that he was depressed? Pokemon is not to blame.

The media need to lay off the crack pipe. Scapegoating in any form is pure crap.
