Someone set the tanning beds to "self clean", please.

No, it's definitely news. If we don't have the BBC, then we're screwed.

As a fan of Hardcore/Freeform (not the cheesy DDR kind, yuck), this disturbs me on more than the blatantly obvious levels.

Someday they'll get over Michael Jackson. Then we'll be back to the news. Bloomberg and CNBC should not be your exclusive source for the news.

 
Tillmaster 2009-07-04 09:03:00 AM  
The BBC website, alas, reflects none of the values one used to associate with the Beeb.

It's just crap, like all the others.

Pity, that....

Japan weirdness is spreading to other cultures?

Oh I gotta run right out and buy some crap now.

I feel more and more alienated from British teens. OK, so that's normal for a middle aged bloke, but still that Japanese Manga crap creeps me the frkk out.

/Remember Pearl Harbour.
//Bloody awful film.

What the hell was that?!??!?

After checking out the companion video (British followers of Japanese fashion), I realized the person dancing on the right is a guy. At first, I was hoping it was just a mannish looking girl.

This was something that swept through anime fandom in America some ~8 years back, right around the start of the Dance Dance Revolution craze. You don't hear about it anymore because, well, it was dumb.

I guess it just took a while for it to swim across the Atlantic.

Good on them for doing what they like. Just so long as I NEVER EVER have to see crap like that again. EVER.

/Not ever

I weep for our youth.

Oh, waitaminute, it's their youth. That's OK, then.

Fully supports their fashion choice.

 
scwewywabbit 2009-07-04 10:03:56 AM  
is the person on the right a guy or a girl........?

Are those the equivalent of female guidos? Its what they look like...

 
misanthropologist 2009-07-04 10:21:44 AM  
I remember being in Japan over xmas/nye 2005 and seeing dudes with similar blackface-style makeup, but without the white racoon mask deal that these kids have. The kids I saw were all wearing fur coats and crap too...

Japan takes subcultures and pumps them full of roids.

 
TwistedIvory [TotalFark] 2009-07-04 10:27:08 AM  
F*cking Japanophile idiots.

Excuse me, it's orangeface. Get it right! The carrots are outraged. And don't even ask about the Oompa Loompas.

I never knew that the Japanese were from New Jersey

@Bee Roo Ga Ho Shee, Thanks for the pics. I was about to feel insulted enough for both my Japanese girlfriend and my white Anglo self. Egad, I had never seen a reverse panda before.

 
The Dread Pirate Robertson 2009-07-04 11:16:40 AM  
What the cock?

So let me get this straight. It's Al Jolson + DDR + enough self-tanner to make Rhys Ifans look like Djimon Honsou.

Even speaking as a kid who stomped around in the 80s wearing a rhinestone dog collar and enough eye makeup to make Siouxie say "WTF?", I have to ask exactly what the hell is going on here.

At least they're not doing Hannah Montana's frigging ice cream dance!

Yes, I have an 8-year old.

It was in the entertainment section so doesn't have to be 'news, 'news' in that case.

 
Impudent Domain 2009-07-04 09:02:07 PM  
After seeing the trailer to Robo Geisha, and now this crap, and all the other stuff like tentacle pron, It might be time to just take the Japanese out.

We might have to eliminate them before their madness takes us over.

 
simpsonfan 2009-07-04 09:18:45 PM  
Might as well be obsessed with Japanese schoolgirl uniforms.

Close: the trend started by trying to imitate California surfer girls
