They truly are rebels without a cause, but unlike melancholy James Dean in the cushy post-WWII boom, the Pokemones seem all too content to lounge about in their glossy cocoons. Back at the park Frambuesa huddles with a group of friends and pulls out a new digital camera from her anime-decorated purse. "Let's take a picture!" she squeals. Immediately makeup and mirrors materialize, lips are reglossed, eyes are relined, hair is reteased. After a long delay she finally asks, "Everyone ready?" The group leans into pose, and Victor Nuyoa, a 14-year-old who is new to the Pokemon scene, makes a peace sign. An older teen pushes down Nuyoa's hand and laughs, teasing, "What are you, a hippie?" For this group, it's only gadgets and ponceo that make the statements that matter.

    You know, I can create my own sources. Check this out: "Emiliano Garcia, a businessman in Santiago reported after reading one of Chileno's comments: "That guy is a jackass!" There, you are a jackass and I have a source that proves it!

    You don't have a point to make because the burden of proof is on the author, but then again, if you had a lick of sense you'd know that. Again, if you are really from Chile or anywhere in Latin America do you really think an orgy could happen as freely as the author claims it did. You should probably lay off the pipe and join reality with the rest of us.

    When is Newsweek going to retract this article?
