If you’ve watched Japanese TV quite a big in the last 6 months, you are probably familiar with the “No Border” commercials that Cup Noodle put out. I must admit, I enjoy the commercials, perhaps because of the song that plays in them and the peaceful images displayed in them. However, when the commercial finally [...]

It appears that a few guys in the UK have decided to copy Japanese comedian Hard Gay and do their own version of his act. Too bad it totally sucks.
The act is nothing without the proper costume and correct humping technique. Or maybe the joke doesn’t translate at all. It works so much when the [...]

One Japanese man + One 15-PET bottle jetpack = Awesomely Stupid (Click for Video).

As I am writing a  Japanese TV show in which situations are presented (dramatically acted out, of course) and a panel of legal experts decides whether certain courses of action are legal or not.  The results are often shocking.
One of today’s skits featured a woman whose husband kept asking her about her past boyfriends/sexual partners.  [...]

In October of 1992, a 16 year old Japanese exchange student named Yoshihiro Hattori was shot and killed in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Why? Apparently because he didn’t know what “freeze” meant.
Hattori and his friend were supposed to go to a Halloween party on October 16, 1992. Instead, they got lost and went to the wrong [...]

Dear McDonald’s Corporation of Japan,
Please stop using the slogan “Let’s Olympic” in your Japanese ads. McDonald’s is an American company and it is shameful for it to use crappy Engrish in its commercials and promotions.  If you want to make a slogan for your special Italian-themed menu items, please use actual English or Japanese.
Sincerely,
Japan Probe [...]

Update March 2007: Congrats to Miki on winning the world championship! It still doesn’t change anything about her hotness…
Recent checks have indicated that a great many people are coming to my site through searches for “miki ando”, “miki ando+sexy”, “Miki ando pictures” and so on. It seems that Ando’s mediocre 8th place performace [...]

The following pictures were posted on a Japanese bulletin board last week. There was no text describing them, nor was there a link any url they might have come from. What is going on in these pictures?

It seems that these Japanese girls are attacking this poor Japanese fellow! Oh Dear!

Close up shot! Ouch!
The Digital [...]

It’s a sad fact that many Japanese are ignorant of the world outside of Japan. This makes it rather easy for someone who sounds like they know what they are talking about to fool certain Japanese people into believing almost any bullshit about foreign countries. I have managed to feed various bullshit about my home [...]

It seems that most of the traffic on this site comes from outside of Japan, so most readers are unaware of the Hard Gay fad that’s been going on in Japan for the last 7 months or so.

Razor Ramone HG, or “Hard Gay” as he is more popularly known, is a comedian whose gimmick is [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day losers! Did you know that in Japan, Valentine’s Day is a day where women give chocolate to men? This nation is truly a man’s nation; on Valentine’s Day Japanese men sit on their asses and have chocolate given to them by their wives/girlfriends. And if they aren’t complete assholes at work, [...]

A shocking story of schoolgirls stupid enough to trust their male teachers:

Sexual harassment by teachers increasing in Japan
September 3, 2005
“Teacher B was my homeroom teacher in junior high school. He was very kind and I used to seek his advice even after I became a high school student. But one day, he took me to [...]
