"There is now even a Dokdo Academy I guess to learn how to conduct appropriate Japan bashing."
Why? Because it's easier than celebrating what makes South Korea great by making it a better place for all. Yes, these kids need to do some volunteer work.

I only recently learned that "turning Japanese" is a euphemism for masturbating. Never paid much attention to the lyrics, I guess.
And there are two inevitabilities in terms of my blogging: (a) I eventually piss everybody off, and (b) everybody agrees with me at some point. I'd rather be right than popular, but I'm usually neither.

As I've said before, I've found a lot of what you've had to say to be well balanced. That doesn't mean I agree with everything you say and sometimes you are wrong, but who cares?!
I also say I can be a hypocritical prick and that I amit. I have no problem doing so either. There are certain things I'm sick of and I speak my mind about such things. Obviously, as said above, you can also admit to certain things as well.
That's better than a holier than thou attitude (that a lot of people exhibit in the blog world) any day of the week. At least you're being honest
If people don't like it than screw them!

Not masturbating, for having an orgasm. It's the face people make when they have an orgasm.

I never really listened to the song, but I figured it was probably about the popularity of Japanese electronics and cars. I had no idea it was borderline racist.

Can somebody explain to me how "Japan's Tibet" works as an analogy? I understand that this politician is trying to insult Tibet, Tottori, and Shimane, but every analogy I work out fails to insult those places and instead indicts the pol himself on the charge of being an idiot.

borderline?
