Mu'az-the apostrophe chronicles

The Apostrophe Simple Standard Pointless Units (ASSPU):

LPD :laughs per day-this is counted by the number of times a person says 'HA' in a span of 24 hours.Since this unit can turn out to be highly inaccurate, the Apostrophe Simple Standard Pointless Units Council(ASSPUC) has made sub-unit kinda things ie. can be used with the prefixes MEGA, GIGA and TERA.....WARNING highly inaccurate for people who have asthma.

JPD/JPH :jokes per day/jokes per hour.....to be used for completely non-bland people who can make a witty statement within a moment's notice.Due to difference of opinion among people the ASSPUC has decide to include the sub units:- CJPD/CJPH-with the 'C' standing for corny.

K : Kelvin.....used to measure the degree of hotness or coolness of a (some)body....also defined as the degree of hotness or coolness required in a guy or a girl to bring about a certain hormonal rush in (most probably) a person of the opposite gender......in simple words for the mentally mature....getting turned on.

IQ : Idiocity quotient....not exactly a unit...self explanatory.....used mainly for younger brothers and/or sisters that are commissioned by the almighty to irritate...also used for people that are continuously being stupid...for some unaccountable reason.

cm : i don't exactly know what this one stands for(open to suggestions) but is used to measure the thickness of a 11Th grade textbook.

1m : used to measure the distance between two points a metre apart.

the ASSPUC is open to suggestions for more units....

P.S-a question for the world in general....who made the song 'btw'? the people with the correct answer get the password to my account..and hence free access to the editing of this blog....hint " don't use the Internet.

can you believe it.!!!!!!???



Criticism
Main article: Criticism of Pokémon

Racism

The original black-skinned Jynx design and source of the controversy.This original design of the Pokémon Jynx bore a striking, but possibly coincidental, resemblance to entertainers in blackface. A strong case can be made for Jynx being a parody of or homage to the Japanese Ganguro and Yamanba fashion trends, which were extremely popular when Pokémon was first released. Blackface-influenced characters have appeared elsewhere in anime and manga - examples can be found near the beginning of Osamu Tezuka's early graphic novel, Metropolis and also can be found with Dragon Ball Z's Mr. Popo.

As Pokémon became more popular in the United States, this perceived similarity to a racist image from the United States' past offended some. In particular, it offended children's book author Carole Boston Weatherford, who accused Jynx of being a racist stereotype in an article titled "Politically Incorrect Pokémon" in the magazine Black World Today, shortly after the anime episode Holiday Hi-Jynx aired.[citation needed] As a result, later episodes of the anime which feature Jynx were either banned or edited in the United States.

In 2002, in response to this controversy, Nintendo changed Jynx's face from black to purple and its hands from blue to purple in the video game series, a change which would be reflected in the anime three years later.


Animal cruelty
The primary mechanism of Pokémon has been compared to the generally-outlawed practice of cockfighting.[21] Seen from this point of view, the game consists primarily of Pokémon trainers capturing and bartering in wild animals, coercing them to fight one another, and also features various performance-enhancing drugs to give them an edge in the fight. Some people believe that this may encourage children to commit acts of animal cruelty and illegal gambling.[22]

In spite of these allegations, Pokémon maintains a fan base that views the battling as a friendly competition between two teams of Pokémon and their trainers. Seen in this light, Pokémon are not being coerced to battle by their trainers. There are references to some Pokémon being territorial (e.g. Pidgeotto[23]), but it is vastly different to the aggressively territorial nature of roosters, who will maim the "enemy" rooster until it or the other dies. Furthermore, trainers do not relish the idea of allowing two animals (or, in this case, Pokémon) to fight to the death while merely viewing from the edge of the "ring"; rather, Pokémon trainers are usually depicted as fighting alongside their Pokémon and providing moral support, not simply issuing commands for them to follow. In addition to all of the above, Pokémon do not actually die from battle; they either "faint" or are otherwise made unable to battle.

In both the games and the anime, the audience is taught that fighting is not necessarily a means to an end, and those who would rather fight than compromise are often portrayed in a negative light. Furthermore, the use Pokémon for selfish or "evil" purposes is frowned upon, and organizations such as Team Rocket, which is often depicted using Pokémon solely for personal (and usually monetary) gain, are generally considered villains.


Health
Main article: Banned episodes of Pokémon

One frame of the scene that caused the seizures.On December 16, 1997, more than 635 Japanese children were admitted to hospitals with convulsive epileptic seizures. It was determined that the seizures were caused by watching an episode of Pokémon, "Dennō Senshi Porygon," (most commonly translated "Electric Soldier Porygon", season 1, episode 43); as a result, this episode has not been aired since. In this particular episode, there were bright explosions with rapidly-alternating blue and red color patterns.[24] It was determined in subsequent research that these strobing light effects cause some individuals to have epileptic seizures, even if the person had no previous history of epilepsy. As a consequence, many publishers (including Nintendo) added warning labels to their video game products (or made pre-existing labels more prominent), warning that exposure to video games may trigger seizures in individuals vulnerable to photosensitive epilepsy.

This incident is the most common focus of Pokémon-related parodies in other media, and was lampooned by The Simpsons episode "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo"[25] and the South Park episode "Chinpokomon," among others.

Fantasies

oh yeah
we've all had them and still do. they come in various types, times and to different people. ive had them and will continue to proudly do so. here are ALL of my fantasies I've had ever since i can remember.(hope i got all of them)

1. flying a plane: started in around 1995. been my lifelong dream to be a pilot. always been interested in planes and always will be. i live across the road from the airport, i get to watch the airshow for free and i can tell you one thing, i will fly a plane some day if its the last thing i do.


2. pick up a microphone and speak on a stage to atleast 47.6222 people:(started in 2000) i have IMMENSE stage fright. bugs me to the core. heck i cant even make a proper speech in front of my whole class when theres a teacher is standing nearby. i would love to get over this.my eyes start getting blurry, my knees start shaking and my voice sonds like its coming from someone else.


3. this one is similar to the previous, but yes one day i would like to get on stage with a band of my own and sing my heart out.(started in 2003)


4. get a girlfriend:(lasted from 6th grade to beginning of 7th)this was one i look back at and laugh my heart out.and hey i know you HAVE had this one so admit it.


5. write a fake letter to marisa lobo(of young times):(fullfilled in 2005) yup i did it.after careful examination of atleast 50 letters to her i wrote one my self. perfect mix of all the problems a teenager ever had. would have saved it but thought again incase my mom found out.


6. get a guitar:(started in 2003 still craving for one) i hate it when this happens. eversince i bought that meteora album, this has been like a dream. I've spent half my bus rides learning about pickups, frets and tremolos from shaun. i know allmost everything ther is to know before you start playing but never got my mom to get me one. although a 90% in boards it is guaranteed!

given above are some i wouldnt mind getting if in the budget(ibanez RG tremolo and a Les Paul BFG)
