Ishihara vs. The Mouse

April 2nd, 2006 by Joe Jones		 Joe

Obvious Shintaro Ishihara quote of the week:

“I hate Mickey Mouse,” Ishihara said. “He has nothing like the unique sensibility that Japan has. The Japanese are inherently skilled at visual expression and detailed work.”

Obviously, this is a guy who’s never seen what American high school otaku can do.

      Oh man, your image was blocked by Tripod. You need to download it and host it on the site.

      Anyway, who could hate Mickey? I mean Disneyland is a wonderland of supreme lameness, but at least he’s entertaining the kids. Talk about a sourpuss!
