Was Mojo JoJo Cho Seung-Hui's Role Model?


What happened Monday at Virginia Tech was a tragedy.
While headlines will tell you it was the worst massacre of Americans in History, my husband quickly points out the incident it dwarfed by the massacre of Native Americans as white European transplants proceeded across the West, so in our home we refer to it as the worst "illegal" massacre of American's in History.
Regardless, we wonder if Cho Seung-Hui was actually using a role model as his inspiration for the carnage. Mark David Chapman blamed his obsessed with John Lennon. John Hinkley was inspired by DeNiro's portrayal of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.
I think Cho Seung-Hui was inspired by the villan of the Powerpuff Girls, Mojo JoJo.
If you haven't seen the PowerPuff Girls,

(what, have you been living under a rock?)
the villan who most frequently terrorizes our three heroines from Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, is Mojo JoJo a mad scientist chimp with stacatto accent who loves going off on berserk diatribes. View just one episode and I'm sure that you'll agree they share a penchant for head coverings, talking in non-sensical circles, brandishing weapons and sending recorded manifestos using virtually the same voice.
C'mon, surely you watchers of PPG thought so when you saw the footage released by NBC.
But has anyone contacted The Cartoon Network?
In a world that blames so many of society's problems on the media, shouldn't we be gathering up these two dimensional, hand colored characters for questioning?
I want to see them hauled in for grilling. I want to see the backlash of supporters claiming "Cartoons don't kill people. People kill people." I want to see the trial played out on Court TV. That would be fantastic, especially since Jessica Rabbit already gave them the perfect defense,
"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."
