#12 -- Japanese people can pronounce the letter R. Let's see what Japanese words can I think of off the top of my head with the letter R... Samurai, Ronin, Hiroshima, Sayonara, Karate, Gojira (Godzilla's real name), Hiri Kiri, Atari, Shinto Kanamara Matsuri (the Fertility Festival named in #20), Hikikomori (#25).

The Japanese have trouble with the letter L, of which "Donald McDonald" has two.

#5 Isn't strictly true. Masabumi Hosono was labled a coward in a sensationist article published in 1997 after the release of Titanic the movie, long after he was dead. He was never considered thus in his life.

In 1997, 685 kids were rushed to hospitals after watching an intense Pokemon episode that caused dizziness, vomiting and seizures. The episode in question was #38 from season 1. On this episode, Pikachu uses an electric shock on a missile, causing the screen to flash red and blue rapidly.
