If this winds its way down to Nagoya, I think I'm going to need to move to a different island.
- patio11 16y agoYeah, the NYT runs one "Japan... weird, right?" story every three months, typically sourced off a single interview with a counterculture aficionado in Tokyo. Remember, e.g., anti-mugger camouflague dresses to turn you into a Coke machine? My theory is that Japanese people are rich enough to count as white and rare enough in the NYT newsroom to count as Republican, which makes this OK by their lights. If the published an article on hip hop teeth as a craze sweeping the nation, they'd lose face with people they actually care about.
