Nicolas cage is kind of weird to me, don’t know why. But,he seems like an okay guy.

…

If you watched the smap episode in which he was guest you’ll see he’s really strange and has a nerd kind of personality by the fact he says like superman. He was a loser (still is) in the beginning of his career if anyone watched “Raising Arizona” (I didn’t watched).

What the hell? Who doesn’t like Superman?!

Girl in Japan

LOL I guess they read those phrases out of a book, because there’s no way a single japanese person heard them beforehand. (or they heard them and didn’t have the nerve to correct the horrid pronunciation..)

Karisu

They’re American, so they’re going to talk with an American accent. Deal with it. They never claimed to be Nihongo experts.

Because everyone is a naturally cunning linguist, am I right?!

Do you make fun of Japanese who try to speak English with you, Girl in Japan, just because they have a Japanese accent? That’s very forward thinking!
