Some of the stuff is true and very funny , other stuff like "all katakana looks alike and even some japanese people can't tell the difference " are faulse. And X gazzilion kanji ... Theres like 50,000 kanji and daily life requires that you know atleased 3-4 thousand.. Perhaps he was just saying "gazillion" to emphasize but I think even the real amount sound stupid enough.

I think it is actually something less than 2,000 that you need to know for daily life.

I was always amazed at Kanji in newspapers. Between poor print quality and tiny size how can anyone make out what the meaning is ?
