Some things didn’t get old with me

I thought Pokemon where a pre-teen fad a decade ago. I had always looked at it as some random Japanese crap that relied on marketing for sales, and that it had all finished more than five years ago.

Well that’s not the case, as I now find that I am having to read about the rules and purchase cards at the grocery store for a jolly good round of Pokemon. egh. This is what happens when you put your kids in the public education system. This is what they really learn.

How did that stupid fad survive? It’s the equivelant of having tickle me Elmo pop up again, except as a TV show. I’m sure some kids would argue with me, but yest: Pokemon is stupid. If you find Pokemon even remotely interesting you need to switch to some good old fashioned D&D, or even Magic cards.

On the same topic, it seems that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have also made a ruturn.

I would like to point out that the new TMNT is actuallyway cooler that what I had when I was a kid, and that’s a rub too.
