"FREE REPUBLIC" REPORTED ON, BY NAME, IN JAPANESE PRESS, AS HAVING STIRRED UP PREZ. RACE (Link)

Free Republic has been reported on, for the first time that I know of, in the Japanese- language press online.

Granted, it is a Japanese translation of a recent original on-line American article; nevertheless, it has been no doubt seen by thousands of Japanese readers on the Internet!

Here is the URL, (as well as linked above):

where the conservative color which is called FreeRepublic.com is strong,

We're a color now? Cool!

"We're a color now? Cool!"

I wonder if we should start wearing a color symbol like the street gangs do. Maybe by color he means P.J.'s.

I am going to have to buy a new pair of jammies. Maybe with the FR logo on the pocket?

"I am going to have to buy a new pair of jammies. Maybe with the FR logo on the pocket? "

Jim might want to think about marketing a line of FR loungewear. Then we could have pajama parties and harrass the old stream press.

Read the article, and it's not surprising. The Japanese reported Teresa's
"Shove it" episode, and everything else. Of course, Beat Takeshi had a TV show
validating the whole 9/11 conspiricy, and Smap's Katori Shingo has been ragging on
Bush every chance he gets. Ah, to be a conservative in Japan.

[gaijin]

This ROCKS!

[TXnMA]

Nice. So is he Bushu in Japanese?

Yep. (Actually pronounced as two syllables: "Bu-shu" (or Busshu").

FYI, Japanese is made up of syllables -- most of which end in vowels. For example, "hot dog" in Japanese is "hotta dogu". To the Japanese ear, it just doesn't sound right for a word to end in a consonant...

I wouldn't mind FR taking on Russia or China LOL!

Hey last time California person took on Russia it lead to fall of Berlin Wall

Thanks AmericanInTokyo! (You sure have been there for a while! ;) But we're glad to have you reporting!

[Cacique]

That is a great spoof of the original mistranslation of "all your bases are belong to us".

How can they have an internet when that damn monster Godzilla is always smashing down buildings and communication towers? Ar e the internet wires buried underground?

[RandallFlagg]

LOL! We actually have a Godzilla ping list here.

[ladyinred]

Dare I say All our Stirred up Belong to us? No, okay, I won't!
Actually this is really cool.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You'll probably gather that I don't respond to much to "Godzilla" stuff on FR when it comes to the nation of Japan, as there are thousands of aspects, past/present/future that one could talk about Japan, rather than a series of movies that had been made. Sorry. It just gets a bit old. Just as "cowboy hat" would not describe all of America. ;-)

[AmericanInTokyo]

Thank you. I am not a resident of Japan anymore (plz see my site). However, the FR moniker stays, I guess.
