Turning Japanese






An interesting item on what's been dubbed a new trend in Japan - skirts that are silkscreened with crack shots.

Seriously.

Now I received this tidbit from a friend in Scotland and I'll wait to hear from another friend in Japan who can tell me if it's real, or just another western slur on an ancient and proud culture.

If this ends up being a farce I will never again believe in a pretty 9-year old Chinese girl's beautiful rendition of her country's national anthem during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, or in the fireworks display over the Bird's Nest stadium during the same opening ceremony, or in Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, or in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.

Never again.
