Shame

The Joel

on Feb. 9, 2010

After 12 years of boycotting the Pokemon Franchise, I find myself crawling back like some semi-boozed and worthless Soap Opera character.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean those awful things I said. Take me back, pleeeeeeeeaaase?"
And then the camera zooms in for a reaction shot, and then to my reaction shot of said reaction shot.
Cue special guest star Dustin Diamond, who is now married to Pokemon, tell me that it has moved on and that I should do the same.
We share an awkward silence, and finally I retreat back into the dark alleyways to contemplate suicide or something like that.
This stuff practically writes itself.
