You're correct about that first thing, of course -- I checked around, and while there does seem to be this group (applying my middling spanish skills to myspace), and they do seem to be, basically, what Newsweek is reporting, I don't doubt that, at least to an extent, that the outdoor oral-fests are this year's version of the rainbow parties, but unlike said parties, there is SOME kind of there there, as opposed to a total fabrication.
ZOMG TEENAGERS HAVE SEX IN THE PARKS!?!?! My mind is totally blown. I'm sure US teenagers never would do such things. They just go to the parks for Bible studies!
By the "hundreds", "surrounded by passing strollers"? Not that I've noticed. Even leaving room for exaggeration on Newsweek's part, this sounds like it's a notch or two above what the average American teen gets up to.
You're not the least surprised by randomized bisexual oralgies as a clique-defining event for a group with an identity organized around Pokemon and the Internet?
Well, the name is a little weird, I admitted that much. I suspect the idea of hundreds of people sucking each other in public, though, is a bit of exaggeration.
It's perhaps a sign of the deranged circles that I move in that this is not altogether shocking or even weird...
I mean: randomized bisexual oralgies as a clique-defining event for a group with an identity organized around Pokemon and the Internet could be taken by some as almost a definition of certain subgroups of certain fandoms...
The only thing I really have to add is that Nintendo's PR department must be in a red hot furious rage, and will call down a lightning smash as soon as they figure out how.
Call me crazy, but the only problem I have with all of this is the adoption of Pokemon into their group moniker as a way to show coolness. I realize I'm probably going to lambasted by several of my fellow otaku, but while Pokemon maybe enjoyable at times, cool is not exactly a word I would associate with that particular show.
Otherwise, let the kids fuck around. It happens all over the world. At least they're being upfront about it.
Oh dear. I am NOT mentioning this to my kids. I don't want to give them any more ideas than they've come up with already!
The first thing that disturbs me is the the name. I thought Pokemon was out years ago, plus Pokemon's primary targets are pre-pubescent children, ja? So why would teens associate that name with cool? Unless the teens are really young, barely into puberty themselves? *Shudder*
The second thing is that the kids are giving off the impression that they are extremely callous, short-sighted, and stupid. STDs can be passed through oral, including female-to-female activity. Do they even realize this? Do they care? And why the hell does it have to be out in the open for spectators?
