You know that TV show that you ran home from school to see when you were a kid? Pokemon was that show for me and my brothers. My grandmother would tape it for us every day because we had to go to after-school care, and we HAD TO WATCH POKEMON before anything else could be done. And YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO RECORD OVER POKEMON, NOT EVEN WITH MORE POKEMON. We played "the maze", a kind of verbal dnd-style role-playing thing we made up, in the Pokemon universe, for hours at a time. We bought cards. We bought stuffed toys. We bought videogames. I just turned eighteen. I had stopped watching Pokemon by the time she started working for them, but still... tell your friend Sarah that if she ever worries about how the TV show she works for affects young minds, to disregard all the poorly-drawn Pokemon porn (http://pokemonhentai.sensualwriter.com) and furries (http://mewsbox.furrynet.com/yiffygal.html) and emo fanfiction (http://www.thepokemontower.com/) and let her know that some of us turned out okay.

Booom! is the sound, my mind just made. I can honestly say I didn’t expect to see the combination of model/Ash Ketchum anytime soon. Booom! is the sound, my mind just made.
