Addendum:

This page does not automatically switch you over to Japanese text encoding when you visit here. Once you have the Japanese decoder, you'll have to activate it by click on the "View" menu and then clicking "Encoding" and then the appropriate code (in this case, I usually use "Shift-JIS"). That is, if you use IE.

Once you see the pretty Japanese, you may want to use AltaVista's translator here:

U.S. law enforcement would similarly be not amused.

Having read through some of the posts via Babelfish, I'll vouch for Goktimus' description.

Well, FOX Kids hasn't done any blabbing about their fall schedule other than Digimon Season 3. I have heard through the grapevine that FoxKids will be giving RiD treatment similar to Power Rangers and just a tad under Digimon, and that commercials will start airing within the next few weeks (along with promotions of the rest of their fall schedule).
