		Q U O T E--O F--T H E--D A Y Loony toon “Lights kept flickering in my eyes, then I felt sick. It was like getting carsick.” -- Hiroshi Kobari, 14, one of 700 people who became nauseous and suffered epilepsy-like seizures while watching the popular Japanese cartoon "Pokemon." Apparently a vivid animated explosion mixed with the strobe-light flashing of a character's eyes triggered the sickness. Quoted in the New York Times Online. SALON | Dec. 18, 1997
