Six-year-old Christer was fed up with his name and sent a letter to Norway's King requesting his name to be changed to Sonic X.
Sadly, the King could not change Christer's name, but not because the change would result in a child running around with a ridiculous video game character's title. No, the request was rejected for the sole reason that at six-years-old, Christer was not old enough to make such a decision. Thus, the boy must contact King Harald V in twelve years time once he's turned 18.
LOLhumankind.
This is like, old news. Not posted here yes, but old news.
When you think about it, why -didn't- the Mofo have this thread sooner?
Ha! That's hilarous! Thanks D.B.
Little does he realise it now, but Christer will probably be very grateful to the king in a few years time.
His parents probably are!
Maybe he doesn't like his name because Christer still sounds like Chris Thorndyke?
Honestly, rejecting the request on grounds of absurdity would at least have some validity. This is just straight up age discrimination.
Let's make fun of a small child for being a small child.
But small children are hilarious. Sooooo whats the problem?

AGEISM!!!!!!!!!
While there are a lot of children whose behavior can be described as idiotic and/or funny, such a stereotype is far from being a universal truth. There are plenty of children who possess some measure of maturity and/or intelligence, just as there are plenty of adults who are immature and/or idiotic.

Why bring this up? The kid wanted to be called Sonic X. Thats something I think is funny.
Don't worry about them, DB.
