Korean Students Asking for Face Ratings

There is a new trend in Korean Friendship Cafés: Face Rating.

In these online communities, teenagers are posting profile shots online and asking other members to rate their features as “ugly,” “average,” or “good looking.” While a majority of comments will just be one word statements,  many members also give their advice on how the photo uploader can be more attractive, usually by giving hair, style or makeup advice. Others compare their own features with the uploader’s commenting, for example, “at least you’re much better looking than I am!”

Professors such as Kwak Geum-joo of Seoul National University‘s Psychology Department believes that this face rating system is a reflection of an increasingly “looks-focused” Korean society that is now even beginning to affect young teens.

His statement may hold some truth.

Plastic surgery is increasingly prevalent in Korea, with Korea having the highest number of plastic surgeries performed per capita in the world. It has been reported that almost 1 in 5 Korean women have had plastic surgery and that women are not the only ones choosing to go under the knife – in Korea, as many as 30% of all operations patients are men      .
Professor Kwak feels that the face-rating trend could demoralize many teens, which could create long term self-esteem issues. He believes that addressing this issue of confidence is most important, adding, “‘it’s important for friends and family to try to compliment inconfident teenagers and help them find their other positive points.”

Girl can write with both hands in different languages

 

 

HANDAN (ODC)Chen Siyuan, a young translator from Handan, China’s Hebei province, has the incredibly ability to write with both hands at the same time. Even more impressive is that fact that she can write vertically with one hand and horizontally with the other, or in two different languages (Chinese and English). In this age of technology, writing with both hands is not as valuable a skill as it once was, but that doesn’t make 24-year-old Chen Siyuan’s ability any less remarkable.

Man Becomes Piano Prodigy after suffering from a Brain Injury

A Denver, Colorado man became a piano genius overnight after hitting his head on the bottom of a pool.

Six years ago, then 40-year-old Derek Amato dove into the shallow end of a pool and hit his head, according to a report on the Today Show. He suffered a severe concussion, hearing and memory loss.

But a few days later he sat down at a piano for the first time and played an original composition until 2 a.m.

“As I shut my eyes, I found these black and white structures moving from left to right, which in fact would represent in my mind, a fluid and continuous stream of musical notation,” Amato said in a blog post on the Wisconsin Medical Society website.

In the blog post, he also described playing for his mother:

“We found the nearest piano as I asked her to sit next to me. I remember asking her if she was ready. I shut my eyes and hoped that I would again see these black and white structures moving left to right. I began to play as if I was exploring some unfound treasure that had been locked up all this time in my head. My mother sat and cried, and then asked me, “what are you doing.” My response was simple, “I guess God decided to give me my birthday present a bit early this year mom.”

Amato is one of just 30 known “acquired savants” in the world. He’s working on another recording of original music.

Eating babies?!

This is horrible… Warning to sensitive readers.

Contains explicit pictures.

A human baby is being made into soup for sexual power in China.

Some of the Chinese people are known to be eating babies and the news circulated through the internet or via Email communication is shocking the world.

An Email report received by The Seoul Times confirmed that news with several vivid and appalling pictures of human embryos fetuses being made into a soup for human consumption.

The report went on. A town in the southern province of Canton (Guangdong) is now on trend taking baby herbal soup to increase overall health and stamina and the power of sexual performance in particular.

A human baby is being prepared for food in China.

The cost in China currency approximately $ 4000 (it is about Rs2000).

A factory manager was interviewed and he testified that it is effective because he is a frequent customer.

It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for eight hours of boiling and steaming.

He pointed to his second wife next to him. She is 19 years old. The 62-year-old man testified that they have sex everyday.

After waiting for a couple of weeks he took this reporter to the restaurant when he was informed by restaurant manager that the spare rib soup (local code for baby soup) was now available.

A human baby is dumped into the water for boiling in China.

This time it was a couple who have two daughters and this third one was confirmed to be a daughter again. So the couple aborted the baby which was five months old.

Those baby who is close to be born and die naturally costs 2000 in China currency. Those aborted ones cost a few hundreds in China currency.

Those couples who did not want to sell dead babies, placentas can be accepted also for couple of hundreds.

One local reporter was quoted as saying that this is the problem arising from Chinese taking too much attention in health or is the backfire effect when China introduced one child in a family policy.

This heinous crimes rise from the fact that majority of Chinese people prefer to have male babies and the poor families end up selling their female babies.

Dead babied can be purchased in Taiwan for 70 US dollars for being used as grilled delicacies.

A baby is lying on the chopping board with a couple of knives.

Baby’s body is being sterilized with alchol for cooking.

A baby is lying on the chopping board with other food material.

Despite all this, there is some rumors about it being an art piece made by an artist.

China’s Singles’ Day

Participants who are singles introduce themselves during a matchmaking party organized by one of the biggest Chinese matchmaking websites in Shanghai, China on Sunday Nov. 11, 2012. Singles Day was begun by Chinese college students in the 1990s as a version of Valentine’s Day for people without romantic partners. The timing was based on the date Nov. 11, or “11.11” — four singles. Unattached young people would treat each other to dinner or give gifts to woo that special someone and end their single status.

By JOE McDONALD

AP Business Writer /  November 11, 2012

BEIJING (AP) — Lei Shujie, a designer in Shanghai, piled up a wish list for the quirky holiday dubbed ‘‘Singles Day’’ that has grown into China’s — and possibly the world’s — busiest online shopping day.

Clothes, a pillow, a cabinet to give a friend — Lei put off buying until Sunday, when retailers promised discounts of up to 70 percent. ‘‘The prices are irresistible,’’ she said.

Singles Day was begun by Chinese college students in the 1990s as a version of Valentine’s Day for people without romantic partners. The timing was based on the date: Nov. 11, or ‘‘11.11’’ — four singles. Unattached young people would treat each other to dinner or give gifts to woo that special someone and end their single status.

That gift-giving helped to turn it into a major shopping event as sellers of everything from jewelry to TVs to cars saw a marketing opportunity and launched Singles Day sales. It is China’s answer to Cyber Monday in the United States — the day after Thanksgiving weekend, when online Christmas shopping begins and merchants have their busiest sales day.

Companies that rushed to cash in on the holiday ranged from Alibaba Group, operator of China’s biggest e-commerce platforms, to rival platforms such as 360buy Ltd., mom-and-pop companies that sell online and delivery services.

‘‘This is very, very big for us,’’ Steve Wang, vice president of Tmall.com and head of website operations, said in a phone interview before sales started.

The 50,000-plus merchants on Alibaba’s consumer-oriented Taobao and Tmall.com platforms, took in a total of 19.1 billion yuan ($3 billion) from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday, the company announced early Monday.

That would top the total of $1.25 billion that research firm comScore said U.S. online retailers took in last year on Cyber Monday and might make Singles Day the biggest e-commerce sales day on record.

The spending binge will be welcome news for communist leaders who want to shift the basis of growth in the world’s second-largest economy from trade and investment to consumer spending and service industries. Weak global demand for Chinese exports has added to the urgency of ramping up domestic consumption.

China has the world’s biggest population of Internet users, with 538 million people online. Its population of online shoppers also is the biggest at 193 million, versus 170 million for the United States, according to Boston Consulting Group. It trails the U.S. and Japan in online spending but, despite average incomes less than one-tenth the American level, is forecast to rise to first place as early as 2015.

The Communist Party’s latest five-year development plan calls for more than quadrupling annual e-commerce volume from 2010 levels to 18 trillion yuan ($2.9 trillion) by 2015. The party tries to block access to online material deemed subversive or pornographic but promotes Web use for business and education.

‘‘The Internet today in China is similar to television in the 1960s and ‘70s in the West — the place where consumers congregate and companies need to locate,’’ Boston Consulting Group said in an April report.

Alibaba, founded by a former English teacher, Jack Ma, grew into one of the world’s biggest e-commerce players by linking Chinese suppliers with Western manufacturers and retailers. It branched into consumer sales with the 2003 launch of Taobao, which operates Tmall.com. Alibaba also operates China’s biggest online payment system, Alipay.

Tmall.com accounted for 45.1 percent of business-to-consumer online sales in China in the three months ending in September, according to Analysys International, a research firm in Beijing. 360buy was in second place with 17.4 percent. Boston Consulting Group said more products were sold through Taobao in 2010 — about 48,000 per minute — than at China’s top five bricks-and-mortar retailers combined.

‘‘Alibaba has so many assets that they can integrate that it’s hard to compete with them,’’ said Mark Natkin, managing director of Marbridge Consulting, a technology consulting firm in Beijing.

Other rivals include clothing retailer Vancl.com, bookseller Dangdang.com, Amazon.com Inc.’s joint venture with a Chinese partner, and traditional retailers such as consumer electronics chain Suning Ltd. that have expanded online. Walmart Stores Inc., which operates 340 outlets in China, boosted its online presence last month by expanding its stake in online retailer Yihaodian to a controlling 51 percent.

In addition to its e-commerce platform used by other merchants, 360buy also is China’s biggest online retailer, selling consumer electronics and other goods directly to customers.

The source of Singles Day’s rise as China’s online shopping day is a matter of debate by Chinese commentators and industry analysts.

Some cite demographics and timing: University graduates who adopted the holiday earn more and shop online. Singles Day comes as people receive monthly paychecks and need to buy winter clothes. Unlike other events such as the Lunar New Year, China’s biggest family holiday, it involves few other expenses such as travel or banquets, leaving more money for gifts.

And there is the romantic angle that might prompt shoppers to open their wallets.

‘‘This is about giving a gift that will woo that perfect someone,’’ Natkin said. ‘‘If you play your cards right, you only need to make that purchase once.’’

Lei, the Shanghai designer, wound up buying only the pillow from her shopping list for 118 yuan ($18) because other discounts weren’t as big as she hoped.

‘‘I will wait to see if I can get them later,’’ she said.

Companies began preparing for Sunday months in advance.

At its headquarters in Hangzhou, southwest of Shanghai, Alibaba set up 200 lounge chairs for its 800-strong staff to rest during the day. The company rented 180 rooms at nearby hotels for longer breaks.

On Tmall.com, called Tian Mao, or ‘‘Sky Cat,’’ in Chinese, goods ranged from clothes, books and furniture to discounts on restaurant meals and travel packages. An auto dealer in the southern city of Shangrao offered 23 percent off BMW 3-series luxury cars ordered Sunday.

China’s delivery companies had 800,000 employees working Sunday, including 65,000 temporary workers hired for the holiday, the China Daily newspaper said, citing the country’s delivery industry association.

One of the biggest, YTO Express Co. Ltd. in Shanghai, planned to have 30,000 vehicles on the road, the newspaper said, and expanded its daily handling capacity by 50 percent to 6 million packages for the day.

At nearly 80, Yoko Ono tries something new: fashion

NEW YORK – Yoko Ono has nearly done it all — contemporary art, music, activism. But as she nears her 80th birthday, the widow of Beatle John Lennon is dabbling in something new: the fashion world.

Artist Yoko Ono slits a canvas that is part of her installation ”Heal” at preview of her exhibition ”Das Gift” at the Haunch of Venison gallery in Berlin, Sept. 10, 2010. Credit: Reuters/Thomas Peter

This week in New York, Ono unveiled her first ready-to-wear collection — an edgy unisex line called “Fashions for Men,” based on sketches Ono first started in 1969 and gave to her husband as a wedding present that year.

The capsule collection includes apparel, footwear and accessories. One of the most provocative pieces is the “hand” wool suit, featuring a white handprint over the crotch of a pair of black trousers.

Bare shoulders peek out of paper-thin tight-fitting knit tops in pink or black. Tank tops and shirts are also provocative, with peekaboo holes.

“I was inspired to create ‘Fashions for Men’, amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod,” Ono said in a statement.

“So, I made this whole series with love for his hot bod, and gave it to him as a wedding present.”

More than 40 years after that wedding, and 32 years after Lennon’s assassination, Ono was able to bring the collection to life thanks to Humberto Leon, the co-founder of uber-chic New York fashion emporium Opening Ceremony.

Leon said the idea first started to gel when the two met in Japan.

“We met about three years ago, at our opening in Tokyo. And when we met, she mentioned to me that she had done some drawings,” Leon told AFP at the presentation of the collection.

“About a year and a half ago, we met and she showed it to me and together we said, ‘Oh, why don’t we make this come to life!'”

“We went as close as we could to what she had originally envisioned for John back then. It’s exciting to see it all,” Leon said.

Lennon and Ono’s 37-year-old son, Sean Lennon, proudly attended his mother’s big fashion night — decked out in a fetching fedora with a feather.

“I think they realized it perfectly… it wasn’t an easy thing to do because the original sketches were very avant-garde and then super-conceptual and they managed to realize it in a way that actually seems wearable,” Lennon told AFP.

“I’m getting the suit — I want the pink one because I just have to go all the way!”

Ono, wearing a double-stacked black top hat with whimsical puffy white bows and a black jacket revealing ample cleavage, signed copies of the book — which includes some of her sketches — published to mark the collection’s debut.

The Tokyo-born artist — raised in both Japan and the United States in a well-off family of bankers — became a global icon when she married the rocker from Liverpool and really never left the limelight after Lennon’s 1980 slaying.

Ono — who was long accused of sparking the break-up of the Beatles, a claim she vehemently denies — earned plaudits for her performance art and her work as a tireless campaigner for world peace.

Ever since her Montreal honeymoon with Lennon, during which the couple called for peace from their marital bed, Ono has pursued the fight. In 2002, she launched the “LennonOno” grant for peace in Iceland, given every two years.

She has also campaigned against world hunger and fracking.

At the fashion opening, her adoring fans have not lost an ounce of enthusiasm.

The couple “could have just done the music thing and been happy, but they decided to work for social change,” said Marou Rivero of Argentina, whose arms are tattooed with the Japanese flag and the lyrics to the Beatles hit “All You Need Is Love.”

Christopher Heydon, an interior designer with Ralph Lauren who stood in line to get Ono’s autograph, chimed in: “She’s just a legendary individual.

“Anytime she does anything, I think it’s important to support her. I love her clothes, I love her style. Her music is amazing. Why would I not come?”

A Message about ‘Holiday Trees’ from Ben Stein

Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as “Holiday Trees” for the first time this year which prompted CBS presenter, Ben Stein, to present this piece which I would like to share with you. I think it applies just as much to many countries as it does to America . . .

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejewelled trees, Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against. That’s what they are, Christmas trees.

It doesn’t bother me a bit when people say, “Merry Christmas” to me. I don’t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn’t bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crib, it’s just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren’t allowed to worship God? I guess that’s a sign that I’m getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it’s not funny, it’s intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham’s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her: “How could God let something like this happen?” (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said: “I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?”

In light of recent events… terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbour as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he’s talking about. And we said okay.

Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with ‘WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.’

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you’re not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it…. no one will know you did. But if you discard this thought process, don’t sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

‘Deeply Moved, Then Rejected’

十动然拒 (shí dòng rán jù), which is short for 十分感动，然后拒绝 (shí fēn gǎn dòng, rán hòu jù jué) meaning “deeply moved, then reject…”, became an internet meme on China’s microblogging space after the following news story in context of this year’s Singles Day…

Yesterday, Huazhong University of Science and Technology male student Wang Wenjin sent a female student he admired a 160,000-word love letter he spent 212 days writing. This love letter contained various literary forms such as poetry and prose, and mainly reflected on the things they two did together and expresses his feelings through scenery description. He bound all the pages together into a book and titled it “I Don’t Want You to Be Alone”. The girl was deeply moved, then rejected him.

“I Don’t Want You to Be Alone” is also the title of a song by the Taiwanese band Mayday.

Wang Wenjin‘s reaction:

Wang Wenjin: Over the last couple of days, I’ve received about 50 phone calls, with many media wishing to interview me. I was deeply moved, then rejected them.

As it is with all internet memes, the characteristic phrasing of Wang’s tragic rejection went on to be applied to a variety of other situations, of varying degrees of amusement for those who can relate…

Yesterday, Huazhong University of Science and Technology male student Wang Xiaoming sent a male student he admired a computer program of 160,000 lines of code that he spent 212 days writing. This program contained various programming languages such as Maya Embedded Language, JAVA, and C++mainly reflecting on the course design they did together and expresses his feelings through scenery description. He made it into a Repo and committed it onto GitHub, titling it “I Don’t Want You to Write Code Alone”. The guy was deeply moved, then rejected him.

Yesterday, a guy working with one of the Big Four prepared for his client a 160,000-word PBC template, including detailed instructions, and then titled it “I Don’t Want to Contact You Everyday to Request Information Anymore”, begging the client to fill in the information. The client was deeply moved, then rejected him.

Today, I wrote a 160,000-word petition, asking my boss for a raise. After getting my petition, my boss was deeply moved, then rejected me.

Yesterday, a Dongzhong [a middle school] student sent the school cafeteria a 160,000-word complaint letter. This complaint letter contained various literary forms such as prose, short stories, and poetry mainly reflecting on the various kinds of special ingredients he’s eaten in the cafeteria, asking them to improve the food, and was bound together into a book titled “Share You Half of My Cockroach”. The cafeteria owner was deeply moved, then rejected him.

[Note: “Share You Half of My Cockroach” is adapted from the song “Share You Half of My Juice” by the Chinese band The Flowers.]

Government Wants to Buy Nobel Prize Winner a Washing Machine

What do you give a man who already has a Nobel Prize? The answer is apparently a washing machine. When the Japanese Cabinet discussed what they ought to send as a congratulatory gift from the government to Professor Yamanaka Shinya, who shared the 2012 Nobel Prize for medicine or physiology with Professor John Gurdon for work on the therapeutic benefits of stem cells, they decided that a simple electronic appliance would be appropriate.

According to Education Minister Tanaka Makiko, Professor Yamanaka’s own washing machine was in the middle of being repaired when he received the call to inform him of his success, and therefore a new washing machine would be a practical gift to the Japanese scientist.

When netizens caught wind of the plan, they were unimpressed. This short article onYahoo Japan attracted almost eight-thousand Facebook ‘likes’, thousands of comments, and thousands of retweets. Many commenters were bemused that despite the years of research that Yamanaka had dedicated himself to, the government thought that his Nobel Prize-winning efforts only warranted a washing machine.

From Yahoo!News.co.jp: (no longer available, a copy on Japanese WSJ site)

Education Minister Tanaka Suggests: ‘Let’s Give Professor Yamanaka the Gift of a Washing Machine’

”>At a press conference following the cabinet meeting on October 16, Education Minister Makiko Tanaka revealed that the cabinet has proposed sending this year’s recipient of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, Kyoto University Professor Shinya Yamanaka, with a washing machine.

The professor’s own washing machine had broken down on October 8, and he was in the middle of getting it repaired when he received the news that he had been awarded the prize. The Minister said the cabinet discussed the matter after their meeting ended and noted that it was a problem everyone could relate to and suggested they donate a washing machine to him on their behalf. The ministers agreed to the gift after examining whether there were any legal issues with making the donation.

Education Minister Tanaka Makiko: “He’s going to love it.”

Teens Cause Havoc in McDonald’s With 60 Orders of Fries

One of the most popular stories circulating on the Japanese internet this weekend came from a tweet that went viral when some teenagers decided to take advantage of a McDonald’s promotion, in which any size order of fries cost only 150 yen (~1.90 USD). The teenagers decided to order sixty large servings of fries, proceeding to eat them over a period of three hours. Below is a screenshot of the tweet, which had already been re-tweeted over ten thousand times but is now deleted:

The tweet by “伝説の＼(^o^)／” (@tsukann2435) reads:

Some of us are at the 2-floor McDonald’s in front of Okayama station, challenging ourselves to eat 60 large servings of fries! Come over everyone! And please re-tweet us! pic.twitter.com/au0nddz1

The teenagers, from Okayama city in the Chūgoku region, purchased the fries and then poured them out onto the table, much to the dismay of the restaurant staff.

Japanese netizens reacted to the teenagers’ antics in huge numbers, a range of their responses translated below…

Aren’t they all 150 yen right now?

オシキャット(京都府)：

They’re just crazy people who want to stand out.

ジョフロイネコ(愛知県):

The way they’re eating them is disgusting. That’s at about the same level as chucking ramen on the floor and eating them.

カラカル(愛知県)：

I mean, I guess they’re at the age where everything seems funny. I’m pretty envious, kids get crazy over the slightest thing.

ペルシャ(千葉県)：

Still, it’s not exactly forceful obstruction of business w

ピクシーボブ(西日本)：

Countryside
Brats
Twitter.
The three sacred treasures of the idiot.

黒(新疆ウイグル自治区)：

They don’t have enough ketchup.

アメリカンボブテイル(愛知県)：

What the hell were the staff complaining about afterward…
The ones most at fault are you guys, who didn’t warn them at the time. They were a bother to other customers? Of course they were, because you lot didn’t deal with them immediately. The bastard staff who still let them sit there for three hours are just too inept for words.

ターキッシュアンゴラ(宮城県)：

Whatever. The bastards who bought them to show off are stupid, they knew it would end up like this didn’t they? Refuse to sell the fries!

ジャングルキャット(チベット自治区)：

People do this kind of thing so McDonald’s will stop doing the special. If they’re school kids, I want them to be expelled.

アムールヤマネコ(福岡県)：

They’re just losers who want to be talked about.

コーニッシュレック(九州地方)：

They could have done it in the middle of the night [instead of causing trouble during the day].

Why are the staff acting like retards??? If you dislike it that much then refuse to serve them!

Well, we can hardly laugh at the Chinese, there are loads of these idiotic brats in Japan.

Well, no matter how you look at them they’re middle-school students, so I guess it’s just youthful exuberance. Well, once they become high-schoolers, they’ll become adults and realise how stupid they’ve been, and they’ll start wishing they were dead.

I blame TV. They really should stop all those TV programmes [that show people eating as much as they can].

If they use Twitter and Facebook, have they learned that this kind of stuff is cool? No matter who reads Twitter, or the re-tweets, these kids are only going to looks stupid…They make their own personal information public themselves, don’t say anything when you get caught up in some crime w

Posted by マータロー（スペイン） :

The things they’re doing really are on the same level as the Chinese and Koreannatives…

Posted by 　 :

So stupid. It’s just a cheap need for approval.

Posted by 　 :

There’s this pattern where they seem to be under the impression that if they pay they can do whatever they want. If they’re disturbing the other customers it’s usually alright for the staff to ask them to leave, isn’t it?

Someone I know works at this McDonald’s. My condolences.

Posted by 名無し :

In the McDonald’s near where I live, at one point they were doing stuff like ‘all you can drink’, but trash came in and kept getting refills and just sat there all day, so they soon stopped the promotion. Then it was 50 yen for a refill, but idiots who were getting cups out of the trash appeared, so that stopped too.
