Japan used to be a proud country full of warriors like samurai and ninjas, and now they have women hiding from attackers by disguising as a Coca-Cola machine.
If you’ve seen the demographics for Japan, you know this is what it looks like when a society slowly dies off. You may ignore the old people ranting about kids these days and how awful culture has become and think that’s just what the old people always rant about, but you might want to listen a little bit. Otherwise, one day we could end up like Japan.
I agree completely about the ugly implications of this. But on the other hand… damn that thing is cool. Japan comes up with stuff other countries can’t even imagine.
Cultural differences probably, but if I were hiding from attackers, I’d choose a machine-gun bunker. First I’d have to figure out how to carry around the ammunition and the concrete though.
The Nancy Pelosi disguise was already taken.
The Japanese also have women-only trains due to the rash of molestations and “accidental” bumping the women have had to endure.
Look ugly that wards off almost everyone.
From the link:
“She says the idea was inspired by a trick used by Japanese ninja assassins, who cloaked themselves-in black blankets so they couldn’t be seen at night.”
Now if the ladies would only arm themselves with throwing stars or some other ninja offensive gear, they wouldn’t be hiding, merely laying in ambush, and the whole molestation problem would be fixed.
So, Japanese people are so stupid they can’t tell the difference between a piece of cloth and a Coke machine? Wow.
mmmmm……
hot asian ninja chicks….
what were we talking about again?
#6 why is that so hard to believe? We have a fricken president that tries to walk through closed glass doors and thinks you can reduce debt by spending more money. In comparison someone who might mistake a piece of cloth for a vending machine may be considered quite clever.
he also throws like a girl but that’s a whole other thing.
There’s trouble here, Frank. Major Dick Winters is in his nineties. Wackjobs Merle Haggard sang about in the 60s are old people now. There’s not enough trustworthy old people anymore.
@blarg
“Fricken” short for “fried chicken” so you like saying we a have a fried chicken president. Is this because he is 50% white meat 46% arab and the rest black african?
It’s no dumber than how the One hides by putting a bucket oh his head.
And while I’m at it, she wouldn’t be in any danger at all if she were wearing a Nuke the Moon t-shirt. It demands respect.
Hummm! Better we end up like Japan than we end up like Greece.
I blame the Japanese decline on sheer exhaustion.
After having to rebuild Tokyo dozens of times,
I bet they just don’t give a hoot what happens as they
huddle in their apartments and paper homes awaiting
the inevitable return of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah.
BTW, The first vending machine disguise didn’t work as intended.
i like how japan is always praised as being crime free, because you arent allowed so much as a kitchen knife over 4 inches long, but those crime numbers are only for gun and sword crimes, which are conveniently not possible because:
A) no guns or swords
B) the yakuza do a better job protecting the streets from (other) thugs than the entire hello kitty police force
it also doesnt account for the 100s of sexual assaults and tens of rapes that occur each day in japan, there is also a provable link between the reduction of self defense weapons, and the rise in sexual crimes, suicide, and being pussies.
its also been proven that the yakuza doesnt give a sh*t about the laws, and continues to carry swords, and automatic firearms, the only reason we dont see american style gangster bloodbaths in the streets, its because as this article says, standing up for anything is embarrassing, and that the yakuza are the only people left in japan that still retain a code of bushido, instead of warping into the screwed up business culture its become in mainstream japan.
so yea, wait till the day when cops raid your home for guns, and now all those nice, honorable gangs like the crips and bloods start slaughtering people in their homes for a few bucks and a new tv, thats the day you will need a coke machine disguise to save your life.
or thats the day you have to join a gang to be safe again (if you call that safe)
Mmmmm, rants. if you would like to read more, get my new book “the F@#$ is with that s#$%?” available on amazon and all major retailers.(in my head)
Son of Bob has a good point. If you can’t tell a real Coke machine from a dress you’re probably kinda dumb at best. I can see Obama being fooled though.
“Mmmm, err, ungh, the machine took my money but no Coca Cola came out. That’s it, I’m raising the soda tax.”
I was stationed in Japan back in the 90’s for a year. I was amazed by the fact that you could get literally anything from a vending machine. You could get hot coffee and a cold soda from the same machine. It was a marvelous technological wonderland.
As to the crime rate, it is pretty low. The main reason is that the Japanese police to not screw around. We had this one Marine on base that got drunk out and town and resisted arrest. They beat the living crap out of him. We also got a chance to tour the local jail and saw how they treated inmates. Again they do not mess around with stuff like that. They made it clear that one of the main reasons the crime rate is so low is that they are taught that if you get caught and sent to jail you will serve your sentence. Parole or early release is virtually unheard of. Also they base their behavior system on calories. If you are a well behaved prisoner you get the minimum recommended daily calories to keep you healthy. If you break the rules (such as failure to quote specific pages from the prisoner manual you must commit to memory) then you get reduced calories until you shape up.
Man, now I am hungry for some yaki soba and want to watch Dragonball.
didn’t someone try a similar thing in the U.S. but dressing up as a video game machine at an arcade with a very special joystick and got very very arrested…maybe I saw it in a cartoon…I can’t remember. It’s so hard to keep real life and cartoons straight anymore.
By the way, have y’all noticed the ads for ninja t-shirts on the left? IMAO’s got this targeted advertising stuff down! I mean, here we are talking Japan and voila! Ads for ninja shirts! It’s, like, magic!
Too bad there’s no add to tell us that the Nuke The Moon and Fred Thompson Punch The Hippies shirts are back in stock. At least my 10 Ten Democrat Slogans shirt will be shipping in a few days.
