Right.  All Japanese are identical clones, walking around doing stereotypical things exactly like other Japanese people.  

Not too far off the mark there!

And Land of Smiles refers to the wide range of meanings to Thai smiles (many of which are unfathomable to farangs), not that Thais all giggle uncontrollably.

 

They were Thais, not British football hooligans who only become brave when sufficiently numerous.

 

Imagination is a wonderful thing and so agenda-driven.

 

Fortunately Japanese never drink to excess. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Japanese never drink to excess??

 

My observation when living there was that they seldom drank moderately.

 I think he would've been much more intimidating with a shirt on .

That doesn't matter, Bluespunk has sensitive radar for anything not absolutely PC. Vaguely sumo-like, that was a PC attempt at avoiding the word 'fat'

Why does one have to take off his shirt in order to fight.....is it a Japanese ritual?

Because in a "street/boat fight"  grabbing your opponent's shirt and pulling it over their head is an easy way to gain control and get in good knees and fists to their head. So taking his shirt off was a good idea.  Seen many street fights go down like that.

But neither the poster - Princess Jum Cody - nor people who saw the clip had any idea what had got the vaguely sumo-like man so upset,

Bet he'd be upset to read this description of himself

I must remind my wife to refer to me in future as "vaguely sumo- like".

 

As for the poster, Princess Jum Cody, I wonder which branch of "'royalty" she belongs to? Maybe Facebook royalty?

 He should have been arrested....
