Oh, God: More Student Death Note Trouble

A pair of sixth-grade boys were not merely reported or suspended, no, the Gadsden Times reports that they were actually ARRESTED for their notebook of “terrorist threats”– a “death note”-type notebook, of course. No evidence around that the kids were actually planning to harm their fellow students, but the two have been indefinitely suspended pending the juvie court’s word.

So, protip to end all protips: remember the part where Light hides the hell out of his death note? Yeah, do that. Because as cool as the manga may seem, it’s soooo not worth suspension/arrest over, and people are really paranoid right now.

    A part of me actually wants more of this stuff to happen just to see clueless paranoid parents’ reactions, and if possible, get some loudmouthed conservative preachers to start another round of denouncing “youth-corrupting foreign materials.” I say this because I’m confident that Death Note or any other such controversial(?) works won’t REALLY get banned if all that happens are such school pranks. Stupid on the part of the kids, enjoyment for me.
