I can't imagine that dance done by Therns as anything but adorable and "squee" :)


I can at least say it's hysterically funny to do the Meerkat.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

it is just bizzare, but it does seem to be an effective predictor of pop trends in the US anyway.

It was bound to happen. Both you and Japan are somewhat strange, yet also beautiful.

I suppose it works both ways. The Japanese are obsessed with the West. I'm sure we stereotype Japanese culture just as much.

These days the Chinese actually love Westerners way more than the Japanese ever did. Having a Westerner in your bar actually improves your status as a swanky place over there.
