Hi Blog. JapanZine (Nagoya’s free magazine for the international community) recently did a parody of the Japan Times, calling it the “Gokiburi Gazette”. Front and center, an article about activist “Tepid Naruhodo”, who gets the word “gaijin” banned, only to have its replacement shortened to the same thing. It’s very funny. Seriously. As are the other articles and the masthead advertisements. Well done. Debito in Sapporo

There is a video too.

Glad you took it like that. We don’t have a real strong point to make in any direction other than lampooning anything and everything… Appreciate the mention.
Here’s the Youtube link:

Greetings from Texas, Tepid-san…er, I mean, Debito-san:
Saw the video…LMAO!!!
(Note to self: do not drink coffee while watching this video…made a fool of myself @ the office whilst making a huge mess on my desk…)
The article below that one, though not related to this website, was fairly amusing too. It’s not quite as serious as the Onion but still funny.
