This article made me laugh. Who believes that neutral countries hve weapons for war. Plus people think poorly of Canadian intellect.
Television Shows:
*FLCL-This rock-n-roll anime combines aliens with the pains of adolescence.
Nothing is more funny than aliens, robots, and a young boy growing up.
*Excel Saga-Aided by the sickly Martian Princess Hyatt and the Great Will of the Macrocosm, plucky Japanese teen Excel carries out the pointless but nonetheless entertaining orders of her video game-loving master, Ilpalazzo, who plots world domination from an underground lair.
What is more fun than someone poking fun at a new world order.

Satire Extremely Rough Draft
I tried to go outside today. I have not left my house in six years, because I was afraid. I was afraid of the war in Iraq and I was afraid of bird flu. I was afraid because the terror alert kept being raised. Why was I afraid? The media has shown nothing but fear-inducing things, which was why I stopped going outside. About two years ago I tried to go outside, to see how the world had changed, but the men in black suits stopped me.
The men in black suits showed up at my house one day, six years ago to be exact. They never revealed themselves until I started trying to go outside, but I knew that they had always been there. I could feel them. They came on behalf of the government, in order to keep me safe. They did keep me safe, by imprisoning me in my own house. I hate the men in black suits for making me afraid. It was my own fault though; I let them break me down. I want to be free, and it is up to me to act on that desire.
I tried to go out the front door, but the men in black suits appeared. They pointed to the window in the door and I approached it and looked through. I saw two people fighting over oil. I saw a woman being murdered. I saw a soldier being killed in battle. I saw a child die of starvation. I backed away in horror. Why do I want to go outside to that? The men in black suits just smiled and disappeared. They knew I wasn’t going to go outside, and I didn’t. I just walked away.
I tried to go out the back door, but the men in black suits appeared again. They were different than the ones at the front door. I guess only two of them can’t cover all the exits. They pointed to the newspaper clippings taped all over the door. I pulled one from the door, “Bird Flu Invades Europe”. One fell to the floor, “Terrorists Plot More Attacks on America”. This time the men in black suits just smirked knowingly and faded away. Then an idea struck me. I walked away, smiling.
I decided to go out the window. I approached the window on the highest floor of my house. To my surprise and delight, the men in black suits didn’t appear. I cautiously opened the window and climbed onto the roof. They still didn’t appear. I had succeeded, and I was free. I happily breathed in my first breath of fresh air in six long years, no longer suffocated by that prison-like house. I took a second breath and felt at peace. I looked down and there was a man, smiling and waiting to catch me.
I should never have allowed fear to rule my life. I missed out on the good things in life. I still am somewhat afraid, but not so fearful that I would shut myself in that house again. I am happy now and vowed to never return to that lonely place again. I pray that all those who read this will remember one thing. Fear is the mind killer and it will kill without mercy.

The satire was very good. It sounded a little to story like but that may just be me. The topic was very good. You had a problem, tried to get around it and eventually did. I’m not sure is we are supposed to have a solution or not. You had a good solution, but I would double check with Mrs. Urbach.

Yes, my satire is in the correct form. My satire is a slight parody of X/1999. If anyone hasn’t heard of X/1999, I am enclosing a slight synopsis. Here it is: This action-packed series centers on two supernatural-powered warrior factions engaged in a fierce battle to shape the future — a clash that threatens to shake the planet to its very core. The Dragons of Earth swear to purge humanity from the world, while the Dragons of Heaven are the last hope of all mankind. In the midst of it all, one young man, Kamui, holds the key to Earth’s destiny. Will he be able to save the planet and its denizens?
Back to me now. The men in black suits show up in the anime to prevent Kamui from gaining the knowledge he needs to save the world.
