Simon: Welcome back everybody! It's been a while, since CosmicKitten89 decided to move and I decided to take a break last week. And it appears I have quite a lot of catching up to do.
Theodore: Do I get to cook?
Simon: Sorry, Theo, but I don't have time to do all of the reviews today, but you did a lot of recipes requested, and you will get to do that on our next show. Now, there's been a lot of… drama in my reviews section, and I'm going to have to handle that today before it gets out of hand.
Hiya, i wanted to ask;
Simon and Jeanette: what were you two thinking while you danced in the valentine special?
My sis asks;
Theodore: What was the first thing you ever ate? and what was the first thing you ever baked?
Alvin: Are you always so rude? ;)
Eleanor: What do you think your mom looks like?
Brittany: Do you only think of yourself (Please don't take offence by that)
Jeanette: Do you like climbing trees? And WHERE IS SPLOOSH? PLEASE TELL ME BEFORE MY SISTER KILLS ME BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO SEE IT SOOOO MUCH!
Simon: What was the first thing you ever invented?
By the way, my sis wants to tell theodore that he is her favorite chipmunk!
Catcha Later!
Kaylie
Simon: Well, I was thinking about how beautiful and sweet and smart Jeanette was…
Jeanette: And I was thinking about how lucky I was to know Simon.
Theodore: The first thing I ever ate was my mother's milk. Oh, you mean my first solid food? Well, I think it was pureed nuts and berries – you know, homemade baby food. First thing I remember baking is peanut butter cookies with Dave. I love putting the fork prints in the cookies, but I don't know why we always do that to peanut butter cookies…
Simon: Well, Alvin isn't here to answer that, so I'll answer it this way: he doesn't always try to be so rude.
Jeanette: Brittany isn't here either, and no, she doesn't always think of herself. Then again, maybe she does in a way when she's thinking about me and Eleanor…
Chipmunks are naturally better at climbing trees than humans, but being clumsy I'm not as good at that as other chipmunks, so I don't like to climb trees as much as other chipmunks.
And I don't know where Sploosh is, other than perhaps in the vault back at the studios, or recorded on somebody's VHS who won't or doesn't know how to post it on Youtube or get it converted to digital… The entire series is still show in German, I hear, so maybe if you can get one of your friends in Germany to record it and post it, and if you sprechen Deutsch…
Simon: First thing I remember successfully inventing was a calculator. I was maybe three years old at the time. It was crude, made of old calculator parts from the 80s, but it worked, and I programmed it to do functions that normal calculators can't do, and even to draw graphs on the screen… boy, was I disappointed when I found out the graphing calculator had already been invented.
Jeanette: And your first original invention?
Simon: Well, I invented a few chemical formulas that – well, I didn't know about patenting at the time, so I lost a lot of money, but they have proved important in cancer research and the pharmaceutical industry. After that, I started dabbling with the time-space continuum, and, well, after a few mishaps, thanks to Alvin, I finally invented a working time machine.
I wanted to ask whether CosmicKitten89 has watched sploosh. And i wondered, taking into account that they did, if they would post the fanfiction about the movie?
I really want to know what happens, even if i don't watch it.
Thanks!
Simon: Well, no, CosmicKitten89 is not old enough to remember watching the episode when it first came out, so she is not one of the lucky few who remembers seeing Sploosh. Believe me, she badly wants to see it too. She, like many others, has a …crush on me.
Jeanette: And she relates to me, being clumsy and smart and fond of the color purple.
Simon: She is going to be posting some Chipmunks Parody videos on Youtube when she starts creating them, and she has already posted a video of me acting… kooky…
Jeanette: (laughs)
Simon: Okay, well, here's one from Ashley:
Dear Simon
This is gonna be really hard to explain, so bare with me, ok? Kayla Shayla is actually pretty young. But she gets picked on because she is in a class with a bunch of kids who are older than her! You see, Kayla Shayla skipped 2 grades. And right now, we're in the seventh grade. And even though she's in a class with teenagers, she's still pretty much a kid, therefore, she acts like a kid. Which explains why she gets picked on.
Kayla Shayla is very smart, she's kind and caring, she puts everyone else before herself. She just wants everyone to be happy, and not have to worry about being bullied at school. She's just a wonderful person. But she gets picked on. We don't know why.
Kayla is amazing, but the problem is that she is just a kid. She gets picked on because the kids at her school are to stubborn and immature to realize it. I mean, they pick on her for not liking chocolate, I mean, what kind of person does that? And how is that a bad thing, you know what I mean? And now, even Kayla's starting to think she is an outcast. She's not an outcast! Shes not a freak! Shes not anything those kids have told her! She's just a regular kid, and it's normal for her to not swear, say those little rhymes, not like beeror boys and dress for spirit day, and most importantly, act like a kid! But I guess she's just been around people that thinks she's abnormal, that she's starting to believe it.
And you know about her ADHD, right? She does, but it's not severe. In fact its a very mild case. I know, you couldn't even tell. Most people don't even know that she has it. Kayla's life is tough, growing up with ADHD, astma. But she pushes past those things so she can live her life. Because she knows that those things make up who she is. (I know, she's pretty mature, isn't she?)
She even works with kids who has similar and different disabiliaties as her. She's been working with children with autism, down syndrome and other special needs since she was in 3rd grade! She's amazing! I don't know why it's so hard for people to just look past the fact that she's a kid, because the thing is, she's a pretty mature kid. I mean, you could sit down and have an adult conversation with her and she'd be mature enough to handle it. The people who pick on her are the ones who are jerks!
So, Simon, I hope you don't think any less of her for knowing a this, because she's really grown to trust you ever since you guys apologized. Just know that she's just a kid walking in Rachel's Foot Steps!
I hope this cleared things up a little between you and Kayla Shayla.
Ashley...
PS- I was so busy lately, I never got a chance to thank you. Thanks for standing up for us to that girl who called us "dumb broads". Although I really want to give her a piece of my mind, I think that I'm going to follow Kayla Shayla. She's not worth it. I mean, it she already doesn't like us, do you really think that us snapping at her is going to change that, or make it any better?
Simon: Well, that's got to be tough, being bullied for having skipped two grades, but it's no better to be bored in the same grade as your age mates.When my brothers got older and less dependent on my company, Dave allowed me to skip two grades. Yes, I did get bullied a lot, but I also got bullied a lot back with my brothers, and I say that there's no point in being held back when you're smart and mature enough to do the work. My sponsor, unfortunately, was never allowed to do that because of her problems, such as her ADHD, which I believe is more severe than Kayla Shayla's, that made her seem less mature than she really was, but being held back only made her seem more immature, and now she is 21 years old, just out of her first year of college – she wasn't allowed to go, you see, until she was older – and she had trouble concentrating in class because she even found college to be boring. And, well, this might seem like a contradictory statement, but… school is easier when it isn't so easy. That's CosmicKitten89's saying, not mine. And, well…
Well, it is rather unusual for anybody to dislike chocolate, and if you ask me, and Theodore, especially, she's missing out, but I don't see why people should begrudge her that. All that means is more chocolate for them, after all.
And since she works with children who have disabilities, she must be aware that being disabled doesn't necessarily make you any less intelligent or beneficial to society, as CosmicKitten89 will attest; unfortunately, the educational system, which recognized her as disabled first and gifted second, and the foster system where so many of them wind up due to parents who either don't want to be bothered or who really do care, as my sponsor's did, but are too stressed out by problems of their own to handle differently abled children, has held them back enormously by sequestering them from the real world and not allowing them to challenge themselves and spread their wings.
And it's not so long ago that CosmicKitten89 was last bullied – on Youtube, just a couple of days ago, as a matter of fact. A hater went to a bunch of her videos and made fun of her appearance and singing abilities and video-making skills and even her interest in us Chipmunks, telling her to grow up. And she continued to do so even after CosmicKitten89 told her exactly what was wrong with her. It's amazing how ignorant some people are. My advice to you: if you ever get bullied on the internet, take their comments with a grain of salt. You can fight them back, in a polite manner, to show that you can argue more intelligently than they can, or if they really bother you, you can flag their comments as spam and block them. Although that's what a lot of those trolls are going for…
Now, CosmicKitten89 acts sort of… silly sometimes, being as hyper as she is, but deep down she's really mature, and that is easier to see on the internet, where all people see is the maturity and cleverness in what she writes and not what she acts or looks like.
Thank you for your comment. I think I will handle the serious reviews in this episode, and save most of the fluffier ones for the next episode. Kaylie again:
Can i ask advice from you? Just wondering.
Simon: Of course. Fire away. Now this one's anonymous:
Awwww, that was so nice of you to help Kayla Shayla! Your so sweet! Your so nice! I'm soooo sorry about your sponser! That's really cool that you r able to help Kayla Shayla with her problems because you have a friend that's went through some of the same things as her! You should join the friends of Rachel club. Your really good at helping people!
Simon: Thank you. Well, my sponsor's not looking for sympathy, and there are many who won't give it to her; they will tell her to quit whining about her life and get a job even though she has problems that prevent her from getting hired so she will have to live on SSI until she's out of grad school and gets a real job. But first she's got to overcome her depression. She's DEPRESSED. Many people think that that's just an excuse for laziness, but I think that, all things considered, it's amazing that CosmicKitten89 has managed to remain so strong and managed to do what she has done. Writing fanfiction and making videos to connect with like-minded people over the internet is part of how she deals with it. It might seem childish, but you must remember that CosmicKitten89 didn't have a real childhood. The way she was exploited and used to leech money off the government for her disabilities and warehoused away from the real world and made to feel alone and like her family doesn't care about her anymore… just disgusting… but enough on that. I'll see if CosmicKitten89 will look into joining the Friends of Rachel club, and I'll see about joining with her.
Well, I guess I'll answer this one from Kaylie:
Me again! so, i was wondering;
What are your favorite fanfiction stories? That's for all the chipmunks.
And i have another question, for the smart ones. What do you know about Trichotillomania? I have it, and i HATE it! I'll tell you more about it later, now's not the time.
Kaylie
Simon: Well, that's a hard question… I do enjoy the TellTale Googly Specs that CosmicKitten89 wrote, but that's a Mario category story; I enjoy the Jimmymunks Power Hour as well, but CosmicKitten89 has been real lazy about updating that one… But I am glad that she finished Chessboxing; that's a good story, K plus rated, very much like a cartoon episode, even has a song in it, only things to worry about are the bloodless boxing violence, which is mostly me running away from being boxed, and brief discussion of bodily functions as excuses to go to the bathroom and change, in a sense. Very funny.
Jeanette: Well, I like those stories too, but my favorite would have to be the Swan Princess crossover that CosmicKitten89 did, Simonette This is My Idea. Oh, and Jeanette Answers Your Questions. Tiana Koopa hasn't updated that one in a while. I wish she would.
Theodore: My favorite has been Adam Seville's Wacky World. Especially after he started writing about the funny song parodies!
Eleanor: Well, I like this show. Don't you like your own show, Simon?
Simon: Well, that goes without saying…
Jeanette: I love it too. You put on a great show, Simon.
Simon: Thank you. Well, Alvin and Brittany aren't here, but there's no question what story they like best… their own show. Or whatever fanfic features them in the spotlight and basically kisses their behinds to make them look AWESOME…
Theodore: Their show makes them look awesome! Like the one time that-
Eleanor: That's not appropriate to discuss on this show, Theo. This show is for all ages; Alvin and Brittany's Midnight Party House is for grownups.
Theodore: Oh, right. Sorry.
Simon: Yes, I do know what trichotillomania is. It's when you have a habit of plucking your own hair out, usually the eyelashes, eyebrows, maybe from the inside of the nose, or around… certain other areas… and sometimes eating it. Jeanette has it, as Brittany mentioned in Alvin and Brittany's Midnight Party House, but that would be inappropriate to discuss on this show. CosmicKitten89 has it too, which is why her eyelashes are so short and not very full.
Jeanette: She can get fake eyelashes or volumnizing and lengthening mascara – when she can afford it, that is.
Simon: Oh, I've heard back from Sammy:
Dear Simon,
I don't care if they apologize or not and I don't care if they flame me or not! Those three sluts deserve to be called BROADS! Here that! Yeah, that's right, I said! Because it's true! They deserve it! 'Cause y'know what, they were doing the exact opposite of what that Rachel chick was doing! They weren't helping, they were bullying you! They were calling you guys names and they were making you feel bad! That's not a Friend of Rachel! Those guys are the bullies!
And don't yell at me for trying to help you out! I only called them broads because they diserved it. They were yelling at yu and flaming you and whatnot! They were being horrible to you and I didn't like it. And I would very much appreciate it if you didn't yell at me for it! They're witches, wih capitol "B"s! And I don't care if the world knows it! Cause that's what they are, and you can't yell at me for telling the truth!
Simon: Well, now you're being a bully yourself. At least they apologized. Do you think Rachel would want you to bully them back? I'm not yelling at you; I'm asking you politely to apologize, just as they had.
Ooooh... Yikes. So, you saw Sammy's review? Yeah... That's not good. Talk about a slap in the face! I mean, OUCH! If it's not one thing, its another with you, isn't it, Simon? That could ruin HIS weekened. Now, don't you worry, Buddy. You sit this one out, we'll take care of this, okay? You did the same thing for us, remember? :)
I don't know if this will work, but here goes...
Dear Sammy,
I'm really sorry you feel that way about us. I know you're probably very, very, VERY upset with us right know, but would you mind not bringing it into Simon's show? Simon's show is for fans to ask questions to him regarding the movies, his cartoon series and his opinion on things, not to cause drama!
I also couldn't help bit notice that you have a quite... colorful vocabulary. Please keep in mind that there may be younger viewers here and they might not want, let alone need, to hear some of that language. So you should really keep that in mind. I always remember hearing when I was little, "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all," and that includes swear words. Even when you say the word "witch", even though it isn't a swear word, in fact it actually sounds kind of festive like for halloween! However, it sounds a heck of a lot like the other word that shall not be named, if you know what I mean. And when you add the "capitol B" at the begininng and...oooh! So in the words of Simon, himself, "Keep it PG," please, if you catch my drift!
We're NOT mad at you, we're not mad at you in anyway. We're not yelling at you, we're not flaming you. We don't think we're anny better than you. There are just certain times when you should fight and there are certain times when you should flight. And we're just choosing to flight. We don't think that snapping at you, like you want us to, helps. We sort of did that to Simon (again, really sorry about that Simon!) It just, kind of makes things worse. We, unfortunately had to find that out the hard way. No one likes the drama we keep putting in Simon's show, I discovered that when we started getting Flamed. Even when you're standing up for what you believe in, people just don't wanna see people fight. So, can we please just end it here, like civilized adults. PLEASE? Can we just, y'know, start over? Barry the hatchet, start on a clean slate like none of this ever happened? 'Cause the truth is, we don't wanna fight with you. And I'm pretty sure, deep down inside, neither do you. It takes two people to fight and we don't want to be one of those people. You just wanna be treated with respect and be respected for voicing your own
Opinion. We only know this because we wanted the same thing. But the truth is, your enlisting us in a war that we don't want to be apart of. So um, can't you just quit while you're ahead?
Thanks,
Kayla Shayla & Ashley AKA Friends of Rachel
Simon: Thank you, Friends of Rachel. And I agree; the swear words should be saved for Alvin's show.
Ok, why is everyone arguing and flaming? I mean, seriously, this is for asking QUESTIONS people!
And Kayla Shayla, i was thinking about suggesting a cleaner vocabulary myself! Personally, i HATE curse words. They stick in your brain (This is to people in general by the way) and they're near IMPOSSIBLE to get out! Even if you don't say them They'll stick in your mind, and when you're least expecting it, they'll pop out!
So sorry about not posting a question.
Kaylie
Simon: That's exactly right. I wish more people would ask me science questions instead of spreading flames. I want to educate people, not fight, and I don't want my fans to fight either.
Jeanette: Here's a science question from izzy koopa:
i have a science related question how do tornadoes form
Simon: Hey, you were asking questions on Kooky Von Koopa's Mad Science Show, right? That Mario-category fanfic that CosmicKitten89 did? Now, all he does is science questions, which I like, although I don't approve of the way he has to have an explosion in every episode…
Well, anyways, good question. There are different ways via which a tornado can form. Some tornadoes form in a thunderstorm cloud, others form over the ground, and others form in the water. Basically, the first condition that must be satisfied for a tornado to form is for a vortex of wind to be form, which usually happens when the wind changes velocity abruptly at a certain spot. The details are quite complicated, and would probably go over the head of most of this show's viewers, but basically, you get the picture. You can try it yourself in the bathtub sometime. Push water in one direction with one hand, and push it in the other direction with the other, as hard as you can. If you do it right, you'll make a little whirlpool. The same basic thing happens when tornadoes are made. Now here's yet another one from Kaylie:
Um, Would you mind my suggesting a little less (And by a little, i mean A LOT less) Unsuitable content? I mean, like Kayla Shayla said, we might have little kids who are looking to see your answers, and i don't think they should read that stuff. Heck, I STILL hate to read that stuff, but i want my questions answered! And could the colorful language PLEASE go down a bit? I don't see WHY you need to add that kind of stuff in the story, i mean, do you HAVE to? By the way, this isn't a flame, I was just telling you how i feel about the content. Luckily for me, i don't read much, just some of the questions i really want to hear the answers to.
Kaylie
P.s. Please don't take offence by anything i said. You don't even have to post it on the show.
Simon: Well, I was thinking about censoring the bad language. I think I'll do it for the next one I get that's full of bad language.
Jeanette: Like this one?
Friend of Rachel:
Shut up! Alright? Shut the (BLEEP!) up! And while your at it, why don't you pull hat pole out of your (BLEEP!) You don't give a (BLEEP!) about what the (BLEEP!)nyour saying! You (BLEEP!) (BLEEP!) are just saying that (BLEEP!) to impress Simon! Just admitt it! And don't you (BLEEP!) go telling me what I can and cannot say! I can say whatever the (BLEEP!)l I want! So shut up and leave me alone!
Simon: My, that's a lot of bleeps. If you're mature and you want to know what kind of language Sammy here was really using, check the reviews section.
Theodore: The bleeps are really funny!
Simon: Now Sammy, if you are allowed to say what you want, then aren't they allowed to say what they want? Now, I've been awfully nice by posting your comments on the show, even though many would have just deleted them and ignored them. Now, if you have an APPROPRIATE question to ask me, I'll ask it; otherwise, I will from now on ignore your comments until you have something nice to say.
Kayla Shayla again:
Oooooh! Well that didn't work! Sorry Simon, I was just trying to help, butwe just made it worse. :( I'm really sorry!
Simon: It's OK, there isn't really anything anyone can do to change somebody's mind once it's made up. Now, don't take Sammy's comments to heart. You are not any of those things that Sammy thinks you are.
Now, Sammy, I do not mean to anger you, and I do apologize if I have said anything that has offended you. But from now on, like I said, I would appreciate receiving some nice comments and questions from you, OK?
Hmm… I think my fan Angie here sums it up pretty well:
WHAT are we DOING? What is with the DRAMA and the CUSSING and the BACKSTABBING and the HATRED between fans. We are all people with equal rights, our own opinions living on the same planet, so what is the reason we cannot all get along?
All this DRAMA started with a voice. A simple, small voice that shouted out against BULLYING. All she wanted was to get the point across that she didn't like bullying and she wanted it to stop. She shouted out as a Friend of Rachel! Then, two other voices saw the error of the peoples ways and they wanted to help them. So they joined together and pleaded the people to stop their bullying ways and start a new.
But suddenly, voices of hatred cloud the voices of peace and the flaming started... Before we knew it they were enlisted is a WAR that they didn't remember signing up for, let alone wanted to even be apart of... Words of hate were thrown and wounded several others, but two brave girls stand strong to stop the war! But maybe we don't need someone to end the war, we just need everyone to join hands together and let peace shine through, and drop it. We need to put down our bullying ways and start walking in the footsteps of Rachel herself. I think that's what Kayla Shayla, Ashley and Fiona were trying to say from the beginning. She didnt want to hurt or offend anyone, she just wanted PEACE and LOVE for EVERYONE. Unfortunately, SOME PEOPLE fail to realise that.
So, tihs is what has to be done, we must:
1. STOP and THINK about what you are going to say before you say it.
2. BE CAREFUL, the WORDS you say have the power to HURT people, just like a SWORD.
3. Put YOURSELF in the place of OTHERS before you go TEASING, BULLYING or JUDGING. (That's not towards younpr Jeannette, Simon, you guys have been really good about being nice to others.
4. No more BULLYING!
5. No more JUDGING others!
6. No more TEASING!
7. No more DRAMA!
8. No more SWEARING and/or CUSS WORDS! (and that includes refering to someone as a "WITCH with a Capital 'B'".)
9. No more FLAMING!
10. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion, after all, NO ONE'S opinion is EVER wrong! Just DON'T voice your opinion in a DISRESPECTFUL way.
We are all living on the same planet, there's no reason we cannot get along like civilized human beings.
So, do you think we can do it? Do you think we can all just burry the hatchet and let by gones be by gones? I sure hope we can, Because, I'm really getting sick of the fighting wnd argiing and hatred! I hate to see fighting. It makes me sad, mad and for the most part, the fighting infuriates me!
Simon: Thank you, Angie. Now, since we are all Chipmunk fans, we often get teased by others who don't understand our interests, don't we? So why can't we be united by our interest instead of at odds with one another? All you fans go on the internet to meet people who share your interests, since others with those interests might be scarce in our respective neighborhoods, so I imagine that it's not very pleasant to come across flames from people who have the same interests as you do. So please, I should be answering questions today instead of dealing with drama. Sammy, thanks to you, I won't be able to get to everybody's questions today. Wouldn't you rather I answered some of your questions instead of getting upset about my fans being upset?
Dani here is upset too:
Whoa? Did you see what That one chick said? Holy guacamole! So much for keeping it PG! All the Friends of Rachel's people wanted to do is tell that crazy chick starts cussing because she's angery. There are fans out their with little brothers and sisters out there! And this chick is going to ruin their chances of them ever being able to watch this show! What parent is going to let a five year old kid watch this show? It's ridiculous! These kids are fans too and thy have questions just like us and now they can't ask their questions because ruined it! Watch your mouths! Keep it PG! For crying out lout!
Simon: Hmm…
Here's one from Amytotallytexting309:
Jeese, what's so hard about NOT swearing, people! I don't swear, a lot of people don't swear! Wats ao hard about saying:
darn or dang like "Gosh DARN it!" "Gosh DANG It"
astronaut
shoot or shitocki mushrooms
gosh like "oh my gosh!"
jerk off!
Gaul darn!
Holy Moley!
Jeese or Jeesum's Crow or Jessie Chris! You know, intead of saying the other thing. (I've been told your not supposed to say it!)
Sugar Honey Urban Tea (you know, i would say "ice" instead of urban, but i figured it was a tad bit inappropriate, dontcha think?)
biscuit or biscuit eating bulldog, like "Son of a Biscuit/ Biscuit eating bulldog!"
Banshee, like "Son of a Banshee!"
Snap(s) like "Oh, Snap(s)
Holy Slapsgiving (came up with this one myself! Lol)
Barnicles!
Tarter Sauce!
lint licker
mother Of pearl
Oh la la!
Sacré bleu!
Shut the Front Door!
See look at all of these lovely fake swears! Some of them are histaricle, while some of them are rather... interesting to say the least! Some of these very words have gotten me outta so much trouble! Some of them
I just say for the sake of saying! They're so much fun to say! Lol!
So, why can't we just use these? Please?
Simon: (laughs) Hysterical. Although many people won't agree; the reason people swear is not to make people laugh, but to emphasize the points they are trying to get across; when a society declares a word to be profane, its usage therefore has a certain degree of power associated with it. However, when people use those words so often, they lose that power. So please, save your curse words for situations that really call for it; the less often you use them, the more powerful they will be when you do need to use them.
To everyone who curses, HUSH UP! I mean, come on! It's just annoying people! This is a QUESTION show, there's no point in yelling at people you don't know. Kayla was just trying to help, and telling people to be nicer to one another. It's just stupid to keep getting angry about something of the past. Angie, Amytotallytextinging309, Dani, i have to agree with y'all. Sammy, i'm NOT flaming you, so don't pretend i am. And for goodness sakes, PEOPLE STOP WITH THE CURSING!
Please don't flame me. Please!
yours sincerely,
Kaylie
Simon: Right. Again, we are not flaming you, Sammy.
Dear Simon,
I just wanna start off by saying that you are amazing! Everything you do for all of these fans is amazing! Than you for being you!
I have some questions for y'all, if I may?
What is it like to be a famous rockstar?
when did you decide that you wanted to be a singer or a chemist or a scientist? Where did those goals come from?
why do you think everyone is flaming each other on your show?
Have you and your brothers had this problem before?
Are you a friend of Rachel, yet?
Merçi beacoup!
Erin
Ps- that was really brave of you to stand up to Sammy! I'm sure EVERYONE thought it was awesome!
Simon: You're quite welcome.
Well, I do enjoy the power that comes with being a rock star. People actually pay attention and care what you have to say, which is awesome, to say the least, but I think people should listen to me because I'm an intelligent and educated scientist, not because I'm a popular and talented rock star. I wish people would care more about what scientists have to say.
Now, it was my brother Alvin's idea for us to be singers, but I decided on my own that I wanted to be a scientist when I was a young child. I read books to learn about science, and I found it very interesting, and, to my surprise and delight, I found that I was exceptionally talented at it, especially considering my age at the time. I figured, I could make discoveries and invent things that could solve all the world's problems, so it's important for me to pursue that, especially given how few people are as talented or ambitious as I am – NOT to brag or anything; but, well, I'm assuming that you wanted an honest answer…
Well, it all started when Kayla Shayla didn't like the way I was treating my brother Alvin. I apologized and so did she, but another viewer, Sammy, came along and said something nasty about Kayla and her supporters. I wouldn't tolerate that, so I asked Sammy to apologize, but Sammy got upset about that.
Well, I've had fans insult me for being nerdy and geeky and a dork, who told me to lose my outdated glasses and get contacts or laser surgery, but they are in the minority. Now, Alvin's received plenty of complaints about him bullying me before, and Theodore for that matter, but he doesn't take them seriously.
Like I said, I'm going to see about officially joining the Friends of Rachel.
Okay, I think I'll just do one more question and call it a week:
As i was saying about the content. Well, if kids under the age of ten read the word, (Gulps) 'Sex life' then they'll ask their parents what it means. The first thing their parents say will be, "Where on earth did you hear that?" and they'll say, "From 'Ask Simon' on fanfiction." so their parents will want to read it for themselves, and find that it's not suitable for their age, and all the kids won't get to watch this. And all they want are their questions answered, and they won't get to know! So, please keep things at at least a K plus rating.
Thanks!
Kaylie
Simon: Well, I don't know if you have checked, but this show has a T rating. It was originally rated K, but then Alvin went on and screwed the show up by making comments like that and so I had to change the rating. Also, a T rating allows me to discuss issues on the show that might not be child appropriate. It means that a certain degree of cussing is allowed on the show, but I prefer for there not to be too much of that myself. I recommend that young children have an adult or older sibling read the appropriate parts of the show out loud to them if they want to post some questions. Now, if you're a Mario fan, and you have science questions, you can ask Kooky Von Koopa on his Mad Science Show, which is K rated.
OK, everyone, I'm sorry that I didn't get to everybody's questions; I'll try to answer them all later this week. Au revoir, and merci beaucoup!
