I had a fear of japanese warriors, samurai warriors and kabuki. I would watch old movies of some type of samurai movie and my brother would later tell me if I didn't eat all my chinese food, one of those warriors would come looking for me.

Silly now, but back then...

I was SCARED! So, anything related to warriors or the kabuki actors who would paint their faces white and have these fierce look in their eyes, only made my fear worse. Of course nowadays, I love asian stuff. I collect Buddhas and have some chinese lady dolls in my home. Not sure what the correct name is, Mikado would know, he is very knowledgeable in that area.
I too was scared of the "V" Viacom thingy.
I was also scared of the image of Lucille Ball's head that was shown at the end of her Lucy Show at the end of the closing credits.
