Digital pets. Virtual pets. Tamagotchis. Tabagotshis. WHATEVER! Those
little electronic pets that look like a keyring with a couple of buttons on
them that has a beeping noise that's even MORE annoying than a mobile
phone ringing when you're at the movie theatre.
MAYBE you think they're cute. MAYBE you think they're annoying. (I, myself
tend to sway towards the LAST option). But Japanese school
children love them. Sooo much. Too much.
You see, there's a shortage of living space in Japan. Too many
people, it seems. So the kids can't have pets. So they give them
ELECTRONIC pets. That DIE. And the kids love them SOOO much
that the Japanese school children kill themselves when their loveable
little Digi-pet becomes Digi-dead.
That's right, the kids kill themselves. Now let's go back to something I
said earlier. "There's a shortage of living space in Japan. Too many
people, it seems." YES! YOU'VE GOT IT! The Japanese government
have found an efficient way of reducing the amount of children in their
country. No more of this "family planning" business. Just give the kid
a digital pet and a noose and you're set!
Please boycott this operation. Do not buy digital pets. Buy a Japanese
school child instead.
Thankyou.
Time to go home, young man.
