As an American myself I couldn't help but laugh at that.

I discovered dwarves with Tolken, and yet I never assumed that he invented it. The main difference between you and me is that when something bugs me, I'm actually doing the research instead of assuming that whoever showed me the thing first was the one who invented it. For example, if I were to make a Youtube movie about, I dunno, some obscure concept like Avici, would you believe that I invented it, even through it was the first time you heard about it?
But I digress. That's not the main problem here. The main problem isn't the lack of culture inherent in that dark age, with the end of the world and everything. The main problem here is that those young folks are spewing their lack of knowledge on every page having either someone being anally fingered or a pattern based on slugs, snakes and frogs, shouting in their immature caps lock "zOMG THEY STOLE IT FROM NARUTO", or, sometimes, adopting some weird and retarded writing style, overusing ellipsis and suspension point in a pathetic attempt to look smarter and sound mysterious.
So why don't you think about it like this : of course, they discovered kanchou with Naruto, but they're mstupidly assuming that Naruto invented it. The problem isn't their stupidity, it's how happy they are to share it and get offended when nice people (such as myself, [/sarcasm]) are pointing out that, no, Naruto never invented Kanchou, no, Naruto never invented the slug/snake/frog thingy, and, no, Naruto isn't the first hero being stupid, wearing orange clothes, and screaming his attack's name. If anything, Naruto is more of a patchwork than an original creation.
Anyway, my conclusion is the following : yes, people discovered kanchou with Naruto. Yes, they're being stupid by assuming that Naruto invented it. And what's the Internet for? Cats, anime and porn, of course, but also mocking complete strangers for no reasons. Therefore, I'm now going to point my finger at my screen and laugh at BlueFox's comment just because I can. And also because either I laugh, or I rage, and I'd rather laugh.
