despite space chief's assertions, i admire the japanese immensely
and those game shows . . . .

Not everyone recognises their own cultural prejudices. The two links in my sig are not "wut" worthy. They're fun and cute but not weird.

Nope. So explain to me why you consider those things "wut" worthy. They're mainstream popular culture over there.

You do realise the "wut" would be subjective and it in no way equals hate, mainstream culture in Japan can easily be weird to grantza. Speaking honestly its weird to me.

so now, in your book, admiring the japanese is a cultural prejudice ?

or is it because i find the game shows highly entertaining ?

or maybe even, because i found a japanese soccer player to be a hottie ( hotties on tv thread)

Prejudice tends to be subjective, so what.

Elements of mainstream culture could be weird. However there is nothing weird about these two videos. Unless you consider Western pop music weird too and a store chain catering to customers to be "weird". The only difference is that the girl in the video is Japanese and the singing is done in Japanese in the second one. What is weird about these videos which is particular here? I find nothing weird about them at all.

Note also that this was in the context of this thread as well. A pop singer can't sing in a cute way or can't be styled to be cute? Music can't be cute?

not so much the content in the links - as the fact that you had them as a part of a signature

Why do you consider it "weird" to have a foreign pop song?

What's so strange about the two videos which makes them weird to have as sig links?

You said: "if you think that is "Wut" worthy, check out the 2 lower links in his signature - youtube"

What is wut about these two videos?

To me western pop music can certainly be weird, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj ... very weird

I like heavy metal, i know for a fact others find that genre to be weird, as i said subjective.

and a store chain catering to customers to be "weird".

Depending on the store, of course it can be.

Sure you see nothing weird about it at all, totally respect that but you shouldn't expect everyone else to have the same tastes as you and feel the same way.

Who said this?

that a mature adult male (which i assume you are) has links in his signature to what sounds like young japanese schoolgirls singing.
that is what i find weird.

maybe i'm alone in this
anyone else want to give opinion ?
