I Do NOT Understand the Japanese
Friday, April 13, 2007
Ok, I have read quite a bit about pre/WWII stuff, so I'm not talking about Imperial Japan, I'm talking about modern Japan.
I recently read a hot bestseller (translated): Kafka on The Shore. It was strange, but fifteen times the books of the late and unlamented Kurt Vonnegut. Anyway, I think I got around 40% of the cultural stereo-types/violations, which is probably 2x what I really got.
So this advertisement for the Japanese Naval Self Defense Force kinda works for me.
I can get past the whole self-defense thing and the Power Ranger moves.
But this one just amazes me cold:
If the Village People moved to Japan and made videos.....
