Raknax's model of 5 stages of trauma.

1. See Dragonball the movie's poster.

(This is the stage one of trauma - Shock. Usually characterized by widening of eyebrows and locking them in instantaneous surprise. Common physiology include quickening of pulse, nausea, irreversible mental retardation and visual shock if one sees Chow Yun Fatt first.)


2. Scratches my head furiously for a minute there.

(This is the stage two of trauma - Perverse Curiosity. Admittance to such stage often indicated shock victims' high tolerance for pain or that he/she must be a manga fan for at least twenty years. Possible risks for latent complications such as erectile dysfunction, epilepsy, gastric hemorrhage and collecting Garfield comic strips.)


3. Reach for my balls, will ignore the fact it has shrivelled but glad that it's intact.

(This is the stage three of trauma - Self Preservation or Self Assurance. While this stage can be rare, clinical studies have shown that survivors often possessed superhuman sense of denial and heightened reliefs. Exceptions also presented 'phantom balls' experience where even though the trauma has shocked their genitals into hiding, they hallucinate that they still have balls. Criticisms drawn from Orthodox Raknaxists claimed that such stage of trauma is centrally metaphorically damaging instead of physical - Male victims grab balls for assurance that they did not devolved at spirituality under the offense of the poster.)


4. Sympathized with the eunuchs that make the movie happens.

(This is the stage four of trauma - Hypocrisy. Why not? Health benefits like walking with enlarged steps and singing the 'I have thunderballs' song have shown a staggering recovery chance up to forty two percentage. Survivors of this stage can also register with the local support group and get a free 'I've seen the Dragonball Movie poster and all I got is this lousy T-Shirt' T-Shirt from now until end of March 2009. Proceedings from the registration fees will go to Chow Yun Fatt Visual Shock's syndrome patients and help pay for rehabilitation for Garfield fans.)


5. Remembers that Stephen Chow was the producer and died abit inside.

(This is the fifth and last stage of trauma - Shame. Some survivors cry to sleep every night, and some kick little animals. Recently, there has been optimistic speculations that some can live long enough to attain Kubler-Ross' Five Stages Of Grief.)
