So sad.

The Japs are weird people.... I could understand trying to be better protected.. but hiding as a vending machine???

3/10

She said her vending machine disguise was inspired by a trick used by the ancient ninja, who cloaked themselves in black blankets at night.

Can you spot the ninja in this picture?

Turfzilla... Just so you know I wouldn't call a Japanese person a "Jap" to their face. Thats a throwback to the WWII days when America put Japanese families into internment camps so they couldn't use a flashlight to topple American democracy from the West Coast *sarcasm*.

Just a friendly word of advice.

I actually showed this yesterday to my JTE (Japanese Teacher of English) here at one of my junior high schools, she laughed as much as I did and said "yep, Japan can be pretty strange!"

...a book with tips on how to dress even the nerdiest children like ?pseudohoodlums? to fend off schoolyard bullies.

I wonder how many of those "tips" come from exported American culture.

Actually, it predates the internment camps.

Could be worse, we could have forced them to build a railroad in Burma.

Or you could just carry a gun so you don't have to shit yourself hiding as a vending machine...

 

[aplefka]

I can't believe this is real. Somebody actually spent time and money developing this. Amazing.

Very very difficult in Japan...not to mention the penalty for fighting off an attack with a highly illegal weapon would probably be worse than the attack itself.

 

[Coquito]

Snake does not approve.

hehe

 

[StageLeft]

It's fvcked up, but before we laugh let us all admit that Americans are, in generally, also fearful of things that are not going to hurt them (terrorism, for instance), and quite ready to ignore things that will (heart disease, for instance). We all have a patent inability to properly quantify the real dangers that can harm us and we live in brainless fear as well. We just show our fears in different ways.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

The article needs a video of someone disguised as a vending machine running around and falling down some stairs for maximum LULZ.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I love Japan, but this is just hilarious.

Of course, this comes after Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai and School days was cancelled because of that stabbing. Bastards.
