The tantalizing power of Death Note can not be overlooked, because once again another person has made an attempt to harness its power. This time it was a Richmond public school student who was suspended for writing the names of fellow students in his own homemade Death Note. However, the child’s plans were thwarted due to an eagle eyed teacher whose detective skills rival that of L.
I think what we learned here is to either not create a Death Note in the first place, or use it blatantly in front of others. What did Light teach you? Did he ever pull out the Death Note in school and show his friends a thing or two? Never!
Well the story might end there, but I do not think its over yet. Where is this Death Note now? Can anyone truly possess it with succumbing to its sweet killing power? I don’t believe so; because humans are truly interesting creatures.

This post is made of lulz, it's gonna end up happening again, for the temptation of the death Note cannot be overcome.
LOL
so im guessing the teacher and the principle can see his shinigami now?
ahahahah
lol, I'm pretty sure there is a diary thats in the form of the death note. One of my friends has it. This guy was a real idiot if he showed it to everyone...lulz
aww, its missing the clip of the yellow van exploding from the 4chan news fox 11 news broadcast
This is the part where Death Note gets banned from the US cause some lonely imbecile's can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
I was sorta expecting the newscaster guy to slump over and clutch his chest 40 seconds in.
lol@redthehaze. What a dumbass to actually make his own death note.
SO MANY LULZ!
they didnt mention the anime once or the fact that it airs saturday nights at 12 on cartoon network :)
What I fidn more interesting is that the news reel seems to indicate that they don't realize that that 'Death Note' notebook is actually based off the anime. Do they EVEN know that it's an anime/manga that's now being shown on Adultswim ?
I don't know if you guys at Japanator will read this, but, these dudes have to know that this whole thing may have been a complete and utter misunderstanding, or else people wil get a VERY bad perception of Death Note.
Though, then again, Hollywood mayw ell pick up the story thansk to this publicity.
Yeah, I mean, I just explained the premise to my mom, and she got all wide eyed and stuff. It's actually a great series, if you haven't seen it, but I can see some crazy kids getting a hand on it, and the next thing you know, somebody's shooting up a school. I did give my sane little brother (he's 14) a DeathNote, and he's managed not to be stupid with it. I did think it was odd that they didn't mention the anime or the manga.
Pencils banned at local schools because of Death Note sightings! More at 11!
wow im L this just made my job easy
Ahahaha! Wow. I know the guy who made the deathnoteonline.com website. He's not even affiliated with Death Note (in the business sense). I HAVE to email him this.
"Hey! Guess what, Lim?! Parents across the nation now hate your website and think it's evil and promotes murder! WICKED, HUH?!?!"
He's gonna enjoy this.
The best part is how the newscast describes it. "The book is about a high school student who rids the world of evil..." Dear God, they didn't even bother reading all of the summary on the back of the books. The whole point of the series is that Light believes his goal is righteous when in fact he's just like the cold-blooded killers he wants to destroy- HE'S NOT THE GOOD GUY.
Leave it to American television to butcher a perfectly good story and make all of the parents that much more paranoid...
...wow. they never even mention the fact that this has happened before, in other countries. Or that Death Note is a television series being shown on Cartoon Network's adult swim...... and what do you mean Light isnt the good guy?!?1
srry for double post:
The news report is confusing in that it states that the book is about a highschool student who rids the world of evil, and only mention ONE BOOK in the entire report, the one made by the student which makes it sound like the kid wrote Death Note. Don't you remember the days when news reports where put together coherently? When they did research thuroughly before going on the air? When they focused more on the story, than on the stir it would cause when people heard it? Oh right, that stopped with the 4chan thing. I never did get the deal with the van, what was up with that?
ROFLMAO! If you didn't know that it was an Anime/Manga then of course you would think that he just named a notebook for a hit list! ROFL, so stupid. Someone should get a stick and put it on their pencil that says "DEATH PENCIL" and see what happens XD
The book is known as the Death Note, I believe whatever human came in contact with the book would eventually be driven to kill more. It didn't happen to the Shigiami or however you spell it because the book had a big part of the life from the beginning of their lives. While for human it just came into their hands and with such power to control who lives and who dies then they are bound to get blood thirsty... but you may be right that the apperance of L did speed the purpose.
As for his purpose, he had two. One that was unselfish and the other selfish
The selfless one was to create a safer world for all. And the selfish one was to become a god.
