He’s the creator of Afuganisu-Tan, a “historical” comic that chronicles the turbulent past of Afghanistan through disarmingly cute characters each of which represent a country. Afghanistan is portrayed as a poor pitiable child, while America is depicted an arrogant bully who coerces the rest of the world into the global war on terror.

As if this revisionist history wasn’t skewed enough, Osama Bin Laden is drawn as a frisky cat who playfully bites America on the hand (picture right). The gross caricature of America then indiscriminately attacks Afghanistan, and only after America leaves is there a miraculous peace between Afghanistan and its neighbors.

I wonder how the author would react if someone drew a comic where a sweet little birdie named America took a dump on a stereotypical looking Japanese man to represent the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII.

If you want to read Afuganisu-Tan in its entirety (around 30 pages) you can download it via bittorrent or sign-up at Hanashi and download it directly.

First of all, the monkey in question is a long established mascot for the company not some recent invention dreamt up to stick it to blacks. Secondly, there is nothing demeaning in the ad. On the contrary, the whole point of the commercial is that everyone loves the monkey (and who wouldn’t with a deal like that). And besides, it’s completely understandable that they would be unaware of this uniquely Western faux pas, as Japanese culture reveres the monkey.

And why is no one complaining about similarly questionable American commercials. For instance, a new ad for Johnsonville Bratwurst shows a white man at a BBQ offering a black man chicken to which he responds “Do I look like a chicken guy?” Maybe it’s just because the Japanese ad is in… well Japanese. And people are assuming that narrator’s say bad things about them.

Regardless, people need to lighten up and not be so sensitive. Saying certain things are off limits reeks of fascism. I mean is bondage porn, which can include whips and chains (so I’m told), off limits to blacks because it conjures up images of slave days for some people. Frankly if being turned on by pornstar Jada Fire getting hosed down while suspended in midair (movie clips) is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

But don’t worry the children are in good hands… er clamps. In addition to conversation skills rivaling those of George Bush, robo-sitter is also educational (i.e. it beams advertisements from its eyes). It is able to recognize each meatbag by a special computerized badge-necklace.

I give robo-sitter 6 months tops before an unruly kid sticks his badge on some old lady and hilarity ensues.

So if you’ve ever wanted to get into an Asian girl’s panties now’s your chance. They’re available for under $15 @ Amazon Japan, and if you’re really cheap (or kinky) you can even buy ‘em used!

Of course even this bakery blunder comes in a distant #2 when compared to the Taiwanese toilet themed restaurant that dishes up dessert on urinal shaped plates. At least when you get nauseous you can just flip the lip on your seat.

After watching Doggy Poo, my “alleged” soul was in a state of dichotomy. It’s a moralistic tale that explains we all have a purpose even a doggy poo. However, the journey to discover that purpose is not all sunshine and rainbows, as our still warm poo discovers for himself. In fact, the vast majority of the the film involves the other characters either making fun of doggy poo or talking about their impending death! Even the eventual “happy” ending which is without dialogue or narration, ultimately culminates in death.

More then once I found myself getting choked up despite of some of the worst voice acting I’ve ever heard. Perhaps it was just all those times someone called me a little shit coming back to me. Definitely check this one out but only if you’re not a basket case like myself.

So are women finally obsolete? Not unless theres some sorta robotic vacuum cleaner I don’t know about… oops I forgot about Roomba. Sorry ladies, don’t let the door hit you on the cellulite on the way out. I’m kidding of course, do let the door hit you.

I know what you’re thinking guys: “But Mark, I’ve invested a lotta time and money in my woman. Is this game really gonna rock my virtual world?” In a word: you bet your sweet pussy whipped ass it will! And here’s why. This go around Artificial Girl allows you to employ up to 5 girls simultaneously! That means no matter where you wander in the game there’s bound to be some action nearby. And like all games in the series, anytime a girl is within earshot all you gotta do is yell and they’ll come running (except when sleeping, eating, or using the bathroom) can you say the same about your woman?

As for taking your relationship to the next level, i.e. the horizontal level, it’s as easy or hard as you wanna make it. In creating your pleasure bot you can choose from over 20 character traits, from good at cooking to good at hiding the salami, or if you like a challenge make her a virgin or the jealous type. Unlike life, it’s up to you!

Now for the bad news. It’s a Japanese game. This can be a problem if you don’t speak Japanese like me. But fear not fellow sex fiends! The internet is a wondrous and magical type place. Our friends at Hongfire.com have a simple forum thread that includes: the game (about 4 Gb) , translation patch (which translates everything but the audio), an uncensor patch, and a walkthrough guide [just make sure you enable Japanese in your computer's regional settings before trying to install it].

Still not sold? Take a gander at this handy dandy promo (video right) . Warning it ain’t PG-13. The girls look fantastic but you may notice the guy you play as is very nondescript but that’s ok. Frankly the guy’s superfluous. In fact, you can toggle him in and out of the game for a 1st person perspective. Better yet you take out the guy while leaving in his bits & pieces. Disembodied penises chasing inflatable women? Sold.

This isn’t the first news to foreshadow the coming of the Planet of the Apes, read L7 World’s previous article Learning is Dope http://l7world.com/2004/08/learning-is-dope.html before our simian overlords make a monkey outta you!
