Hung up on the absurdity of "Pokémon" being labeled a Jewish conspiracy, the Akadot staff authored yet another
Top Ten List related to recent allegations by several Arab world leaders that "Pokémon" erodes the moral, religious and social institutions of the Islamic faith. Though more alarmist than humorous, this week's top ten list aims more at encouraging discourse on the subject of censorship abroad, and, perhaps even more insidious, the censorship at work in the United States.

9: Believe it or not, Japan boasts a relatively diminutive Jewish population.
8: If "Pokémon" promotes a Darwinist theory of evolution, where exactly in
Darwin do Galopagos tortoises become Megagalopagostortoises?
7: "Digimon" is the real Jewish conspiracy.
6: It's disconcerting that oil tsars indict a children's show for promoting avarice
from multi-million dollar fortresses.
5: Believe it or not relatively few Japanese animators speak ancient Syriac.
4: "Pokémon" is charged to mean "I am a Jew" in Japanese and "There is no God in
the world" in ancient Syriac, but no one has considered what a salacious, homoerotic word it is
in Jamaican English.
3: None of the Arab leaders quoted have actually seen the unholy show.
2: Arab leaders claim that "Pokémon" is 'suspiciously Jewish,' like
corrugated iron and cough drops are 'suspiciously' Jewish.
1: They hypocritically haven't indicted Kiki for practicing pagan witchcraft,
Lupin III for thievery, or Dark Schneider for just being a Bastard.

Note: Again, the Akadot publishes this with the utmost respect for the Jewish and Islamic faiths.
This top ten list is intended as a satire of international, politically reactionary governments and the philosophy
that people need to be protected from themselves. Please read the article from the April 24th edition of the LA
Times, or myriad other articles, on this subject.
