A tip - here is the same video but with better translated subtitles. Alas, the embedding has been disabled, which is rather stupid. Fits the spirit of the thing.

Rather alarmingly, that all made perfect sense to me

...But damn, Japanese is one scary sounding language!

Perry,
Where did the smiley come from? I ain't never seen one on SD.

Got my vote.

I can only assume the minority he is so worked up about is bald people.

Revolt against the tyranny of the hairy!

The minority - A perfect eternity of agitation. As soon as he has convinced enough people of his cause he will be the dreaded majority, so he will have to alienate himself anew to remain on-purpose!

Two observations:

1. The neck-tendon whip at the end was almost Austin Poweresque. "I ask you, who throws a shoe?".

2, the pixellation on the forehead - I wonder if it was the Japanese censors pre-empting the emergence of a dick from his head.

Class A nutter.

Yay for free speech!

Watching that, I kept on expecting it to dissolve at any moment into the latest episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or some similar Japanese techno-anime.

After voting in another local election today, this guy's general point regarding the meaninglessness of that act is hard to reject. If he had been running in my ward, I really would have voted for him.

Wonderful!

Completely insane, of course, but wonderful nonetheless.

I always knew he'd go far.

He won't be really dangerous until they give him a major tranquilliser.
Flupenthixol ought to do it.
Marvellous.
