Boy Dies From Watching Naruto

Earlier this month an Indonesian boy died after imitating the actions of Naruto Uzumaki, strangling himself with a belt. Indonesian authorities have begun a witch hunt of sorts against violent television. While I am sorry for the boy’s death and the grief it must have brought to his family, this is the Internet and when a kid dies from watching Naruto, its funny.
Indonesia is just beginning to air Naruto and its already has a death toll. While here in the west we’re finally getting over the whole Naruto disaster, we always knew there was something wrong with Naruto fans, I guess we just didn’t know it could be fatal, until now.

Hey, thx for giving the link. It presumably has increased the number of visitors to my blog twofold than the normal number.
Anyway, it’s quite a funny picture you got here :)
No problem! I doubt your traffic surge is mostly from this site though.
… i still dont get what part did the dumbass kid imitated…
I don’t really follow Naruto, but this forum might shed some light:

Someone nicknamed Shadowrun20XX wrote: “As for anyone in Naruto,causing harm to themselves would be spoiler[Hidan of the Akatsuki,and his,self sacrifice style jutsu.] He is the only one that came to mind.But that’s still far from being animated.”
Apparently, it might have not been Uzumaki Naruto whom he was imitating after all, it could also be other characters in that anime.
I can’t remember any suicidal jutsu in Naruto. I don’t follow Naruto (anime) as well, but I read the manga.
I lul’d and spit out my water.
What A Dumbass….
You’d better BELIEVE IT!!
wtf is wrong with people today?? Dont people, even children, realize that people do things on tv because sometimes they arent POSSIBLE IN REAL LIFE. Pisses me off
i say hidan would be worse..xD
hmmm what part of naruto does anyonw starngel themselves some one p,lease tell me
ok for 1 if this is the reason they took Naruto off TV…yall are dumb a$$es..for tow there is a suacidle jutsu in the serious ( reaper death seal) but other then Hiden no one stabs or kills themselfs to use a jutsu so anyone dieing of this is of their own accord..
