so Don't I know this TV commercial ?
That's hilarious. I think that's how everybody acts in private when they are trying to learn a new language.
I'm I the only one reading into the true import of this story:
It was made by a Japanese from a U.S. university. I assumed it was a regretful J-coed that learned to denigrate Western men by soaking up our misandric culture, then when she no longer benefits from said culture and is scorned by Western men in Japan, plays out her resentment. (A native, non-traveled Japanese does not possessive adequate insight into our cultural mileu to understand the nerd arch-type [My, God, one would have to ask serious questions of Confuscius culture if he did]).
This also shows that the collapse of English teaching, the god-like fixation on rap and harlem were/are not passing phenomena. There is a shift in the popular culture denigrating Caucasian men and integrating negative parts of our culture, accelerated by increased access to our media through the internet and more Japanese dubbing. This is not good news and another reason to go to another Asian country for a young dude to party/work. Japan's low wages (for foreigners), lack of respect for foreigners, inscrutable language, increasing off-shoring (a la America) of their economy, and lack of English ability is fast pricing itself out of the market for use to take interest in them.
