7. am i the only one

that finds the whole concept of supporting a candidate because his last name is the same as the town you live in incredibly moronic?

on that note, check out this photo gallery of japanese blackface barack obama (with an appearance by hillary clinton later on):

9. Not moronic, just fun.

and Japan doesn't have the history America does so blackface does not carry the same racial baggage as it does here.

12. still moronic, i says...

consider this exchange:
Q: why are you supporting barack obama?
A: because his name is the same as my town's! yay! **does a hula dance**

is that really something worth campaigning for?



and there's still plenty of racial/racist connotations to blackface and other portrayals of non-japanese in the japanese media.

13. It's not like they're voting. I find it more moronic to vote McCain because the candidate you

support loses.

8. WOW. Italy polling 70 percent for Obama now Japan Obama girls. America will be very popular again
