I always thought Batman would be a little...I don't know...tougher looking? But I guess the fact that an 18-year-old Javanese kid is the one saving Gotham (and possibly Metropolis, although that spelling of his last name is a little suspect) makes his super hero status all the more impressive. I'm totally going to see his new movie now.
In other hilariously named baby news, according to the BBC:
More than 4,000 children in China have been given the name Aoyun, meaning Olympic Games, in the past 15 years.
The rise in popularity of the name is seen as a sign of support for the Games being staged in August in Beijing.
It is not uncommon for Chinese children to be given names of common events and popular slogans - such as Defend China, Build the Nation and Space Travel.
Space Travel?!? Yes! Why hasn't this trend hit the States? In these trying times, we need to show support for our nation. How can we expect to win the baby names race when we're still calling our infants Allen or Steve or Shamika? You can never have too much patriotism, people.
If you're not the creative type who can come up with a good name for your new USA-promoting child, here are a few suggestions:
Sears Memorial Day Sale
Baseball Team
iPhone Telephone
Ask Your Doctor About Levitra
You've Been Superpoked
Black Presidential Candidate
1) Mr. Supraman is from Singapore, not Japan.
2) How can kids from 15 years ago be named Aoyun? Wasn't the last Olympics in that part of the world in Seoul in 1984?
3) If we're going to start naming kids after major events, I suggest the following:
- "Ohhh fuck what the fuck!!" from the traditional "first time you trick your younger sibling(s) into looking at the Goatse picture" ceremony.
- "What the hell... should I tell mom about this?" from the "first time in your life that you get a boner" event.
- "Some day I will cut all of you" which comes from getting picked last for teams when playing kickball.
- "I hate myself now", your thought process five seconds after you text in your vote for American Idol.
- "So am I gay now?", which happens after you see some chick on Maury Povich who is actually a guy, and you thought about doing her earlier.
Pratik
1.) Read the race on the passport
2.) Why should the Taco care....he is just taking a quote from BBC.
3.) Lame.... i didn't laugh at a single one of those.
Footnote to sound positive:
Keep trying to be funny. One day, you might stumble upon a joke that will get some fat kid in Africa to chuckle. (oh sorry, there are no fat people in africa.)
...sorry man, time to lose all hope.
Pratik- what the hell are you talking about? Japan??? Oh, I see... You blew through the article so fast in your race to the comments section to lay down your funny that you thought the Taco said JaPanese instead of JaVanese! Also, I think you're confusing "major events" with "personal things that happened to you and have stolen all the humor from your life". Reading comprehension... Get some, and see if you can pick up a big bag of humor while you're out, too.
So if he's Japanese by race, that makes him Japanese by citizenship? That's like saying that all the Hispanic people in this country are actually citizens of Spain or Mexico or wherever, just because that is their race.
Pratik you're getting dumber by the minute. JAVANESE - from the island of JAVA in Indonesia, not JAPANESE, which would be someone from the islands of JAPAN.
No Pratik, it's not Ja'P'anese, it's Ja'V'anese. In Indonesia there is an island called Java, and Singapore shares a border, albeit divided by water, with Indonesia.
And why they put race on their IDs is their business.
However none of this changes the fact that this guys name is Batman Superman.

FYI, asians do not consider people from that part of the world to be asians. they are pacific islanders or black.
