The airhead who designed the place has a friend who we have to assume is an airhead also who found the sign funny

Ergo. The friend is too stupid to be offended...

Dont we pull these off to the side of the road and put them out of their misery?

I think the shoe polish will be used as a lubricant...
I leave the rest to your imagination or to Labrat's Holiday video.

Yes he's black. He's been black the whole time.

Well, I don't know... I thought it was amusing at first too, though I must say *I'm* not half-japanese. Or is that the problem?

Also, wouldn't it be offensive to their Chinese customers as well? I mean, it's oriental.

[guess type="wild-assed"]Maybe your subconscious is being influenced by the color Randy uses for Cab's skin?[/guess]

(Not that I'm faulting him for that choice, mind you. there are a whole mess of varying shades of "black" out there, some of which don't work as well in an image on a computer monitor.)

I thought Cab was mexican or indian of some sort... I think it's because he's got straight hair....

...or is that racist of me to suggest?

Most non-Orientals fail to appreciate the cultural enmity between the Japanese and the other main ethnic groups in east Asia. So a Japanese person laughing at a cartoon lampooning Chinese people?--Perfectly understandable...and very mean.

You know the problem with Asians? They don't make very good Elvis impersonators.

Yes, but it doesn't stop them. ^_^

...Which, actually, is a bit frightening when you come to think of it. Middle aged bald men don't make good Elvis impersonators, either.

Though, why is it that it seems that no one likes to dress up as the young Elvis, and go right to dressing up as the old Elvis? The young one at least wasn't too scary looking...

/rambling silliness...

And this explanation just made the strip that much funnier

Hmm. Reasonable explanation, but the cultural enmity exists more so for the older generation, people who actually suffered through the Japanese Occupation. Youths, on the other hand, are totally buying into the Japanese culture.

And it's not a mutual dislike per se. I don't think the Japanese harbour any ill feeling towards other Asian ethnic groups.

I dunno. It seems to me that PJ is over-reacting (latent frustration about her 'argument' with Davan???). While Cab's choice in interior designers may be questionable (so are his motives), I don't feel the cartoon is THAT bad.

But, too much analysis spoils the funness!

The cartoon was bad? o_O I thought it was funny as hell.

...although I do admit it took me a bit to figure out what the sign was...
