I wish it was the Drattini[sic] episode, I just love Drattini[sic]. I'd much rather that than either of the others, but I really want to see James in the bodysuit. ^_- I'm also curious about the Porygon episode, but I don't especially care. Sigh.

CN UK of course couldnt care less about one less viewer so long as they don't have a "Porygon" incident. But WHY? Nobody in the US has ever collapsed during an episode of DBZ, right?

No, Pokémon's "Porygon" episode did that.

Tinkerbell comes running around the corner, holding a large red and white ball. "Snorlax, return!" she shouts as a red laser beam travels the distance between her and the big bear-cat-thing and it disappears in a red flash of light.
"Porygon, return!"
"Pikachu, return!"
"Ponyta, return!"

Also, he's dealt with digital situations before (in the infamous never-aired-in-America episode, "Dennou Senshi Porigon"). Worse come to worse, he could just get Porygon to give Myotismon seizures. ^_^ Or Purin (a/k/a Jigglypuff) could show up and put everybody to sleep.

Poor Porygon, he is never going to be remembered for anything else.

It was that son of a bitch Porygon [that was involved in Pokemon's seizure-inducing blinking]!!!!

You mean a -Japanese- cartoon was a U.S. government ploy? I wonder who they were assasinating[sic] -in Japan-, since the Porygon episode was only shown over there.
