If you read this, you must be an avid fan of "Naruto" like me. In the animations produced by the Japanese, Naruto is distinguished by its unique storyline and interesting graphics. It has a large and diverse fan following that is quite surprising. Children form the largest group of supporters but there are teenagers and even adults who follow the series with equal interest. My brother insists on trying the stuff on ninja Naruto it looks on me. As such it is a big pain in the ass and I do not blame 'Naruto' idiot for his misdeeds. But this tendency to imitate the stunts in the animations is spreading among children and is very worrying.
There was the news I have met a few days ago, where a crazy accident left a family grieving for the death of their 10 year old son. Codey Porter of Seattle was buried in the sandbox by his friends. Apparently, the boys were acting out a scene from 'Naruto'. According to "The Seattle Post Intelligencer, the boys were supposed to reenacting the issuing character special attacks, where the target is locked in the sand. Despite his flock there when he could not breathe, his friends do not pull it out as they thought he was joking. When they realized the seriousness of the situation, it was too late. He died in hospital later, surrounded by his family.
Although it may seem perfect lightning rod for watchdog groups to curse 'Naruto' and demand its cancellation, but we must understand that it was an accident and nobody is to blame. Children find it difficult to distinguish between reality and fantasy if adults around them to guide them and keep them rooted in reality.
