Ok now I'm mad.

I'm so pissed.

Someone, some dumb Westerner I'll bet, went to change all the names on the Naruto webpages on wikipedia to the English version from the original form.

I'm not pissed off because it's Naruto; no, that sort of things not worth bursting a blood vessel over. I'm pissed off because the person had the NERVE (and the time) to change everything to his or her own freaking culture.

It's a JAPANESE manga??? Hello?? Why WHY WHY in the world are you trying to pronounce it as "Sakura Haruno"???? That is SOOOO WRONG!!!! Its so obvious the person watches the English version. Oh, I hate English dubs. Even Chinese dubs are waaaaay better. In the English dubs, they say it in their Westerny ways and it so does NOT fit. (Prime example: Howl's Moving Castle. No doubt they're good at voice acting, but the way Christian Bale says Sophie cannot compare with the way the Japanese seiyuu says Sophie-san.)

It was so nice in the original Japanese version :( All the names were nicely done, and "Haruno" came perfectly before "Sakura". Then some idiot had to come along and change everything to their own "Sakura Haruno". (No, I am not her fan. I am just making use of her name.)

I, for one, do not want to be called a Jiayi Lau. Like EXCUSE ME!?!?! Just because my name is Lau Jiayi does not mean my first name is Lau.

For goodness' sake, NOT EVERY BODY WANTS TO BE AMERICANIZED! (Or Westernized, for that matter.) I am so pissed. Even when English names are translated into Chinese or Japanese, we don't force it around and start calling one "Smith John". Its just the original name, "John Smith", pronounced in Chinese or Japanese.

Baka. Aho! Stupid moronic person.

Which Freaking Idiot did that??

Wait till I find out.

In the book "Why the world hates America" I think I would find some familiar sounding arguments brought up in it. What a pity I'm too busy studying to go read it. Must make a point to read it. (Makes mental note to self.)

Argh. Bio Pract Prelims is tomorrow. Now I'm all worked up. Argh.

Breathe in, breathe out.....
