Shogakukan 

A production company originating from Japan. It has a knack for wining and complaining about any kind of "usage" of their products, specifically Pokémon. Destroying and shutting down great Youtube parodies by the hour, they delight in seeing other people's work (clearly protected under the Parody Clause and Fair Use), they still maliciously enjoy killing other people's work.

Most likely out of jealousy that they can't do as good.
"Hey, didn't you see that new 'Pokémon In A Nutshell' video that came from user PhilKickDea on Youtube? It's so hilarious! ... what!? WHAT!? Shogakukan Productions reported it to YouTube and unfairly destroyed it? Those bastards!"

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
