A ten year old boy, over in Seattle Washington was hospitalized after he buried his head in the sand. Why would a young boy do such a thing? Well because he watched that evil cartoon called Naruto! KOMO-TV reports (video!) that the young narutard learned how to bury his head in the sand from Naruto and their sand ninja.

Are our children safe from the influences of this evil anime? Of course they are! Don’t blame the anime, blame the stupid kid for burying his head in the sand. If he even paid attention to the show, Gaara left his victims faces uncovered when he preformed the sand burial. Despite his stupidity, we at Japanator don’t judge. Even I, after watching Prince of Tennis, wanted to play tennis; and go, after watching Hikaru no Go.

In conclusion, *face palm*.
