    Default When will the scourge of thigh high stockings ever end?

    It's just terrible isn't it?
    Every year in Tokyo it seems like more and more young ladies take up this fashion.
    I put them right up there with tiny denim shorts and miniskirts with things I hate to see.

    Why can't they all wear sweatpants and fake gap hoodies like back home?

    If this thread isn't tongue and cheek, you and I have very, very opposite opinions.
    The only thing in Japan that is harder than being a foreigner in Japan, is being Japanese in Japan.

    What? You like that thigh high stocking look?! Even with short skirts? Even with very short skirts and a tight shirt? You are crazy.
    I was sitting in a bar in Shibuya today watching about 30 girls walk by with those things on and I was so horrified I couldn't move for hours.

    I was appalled and disgusted on the train today. Some girl with pouting lips and long black hair insisted on wearing high-heeled thigh-length boots and then proceeded to slump down and fall asleep in the seat opposite me.

    This offended me so much that I was dazed, missed my stop and went 3 stations too far. It was only after she finally got off that I was able to recover my sensibilities and go back home.

    Some people are so inconsiderate.

    Even with VERY short skirts?! Even very short denim skirts (or shorts)? You people are animals! I was so disgusted that I made a solemn pledge never to return to Shibuya until tomorrow or later tonight.

    That is really awful. I hope that you feel better now.
    I am a psychiatrist and I would say the only thing to help you would be shock therapy.
    It's gonna hurt but here it is.

    And before I get any heat keep this in mind... If you don't like AKB you are an anti Japanese culture racist and liable to hurled into gaol.

    Note the L.L Cool J sample at the start of this one. (before the shower scene) It's more than music...it's art.

    Reminds me of an AXE commercial - except I'd actually prefer to be in this particular locker room.

    Pretty damn close. It's not quite "X" so I'd have to give it a "R" rating. Maybe if the edited the side-clam back in at 3:32, then they would be moving up

    They are (gasp) KOREAN!!!! I will not hold that against them though.

    I swear the the whole Jpop/Kpop/Cpop thing has done more good for interasian relations in the past 10 years than all the goddamn politicians put together.
    Just wait til Jong Un gets an eyeful of this thread. North Korean problem. Over. (And they've got to have some hotties up there right?)
    Wow! I can't wait for N.K pop!

    I finally understand it.

    At the top you've got the banner ad for GP Personals ... which only ever features wide-eyed young girls.

    Then you've got the banner ad for GP Jobs ...

    Then now and again you get the banner ad for GP 'somewhere to live'

    And down the bottom you've the forum full of "I cannot get laid messages" ... but folks don't see that first.

    (* And you're not allow to upset the male Americans too much because it is bad for repeat business but you can insult lesser foreigners and women, e.g. Filipinos and Indonesians as much as you like).
    Just chill and enjoy the scenery

    Honest question: If you hate this country and everything about it so much, why do you still live here?
    The only thing in Japan that is harder than being a foreigner in Japan, is being Japanese in Japan.

    For a guy who loves the country so much, you sure spend a lot of time whining about it. One would almost think you are trapped here...

    Cool

    This thread has restored my faith in the eternal idiocy of Gaijinpot.

    I thank you all.

    And I genuinely despise those short shorts, unless the wearer actually has a touch of latina in the trunk.

    Mini mini miniskirts, on the other hand.....................ScHwiNGGGGGGggggggggggggg ggggggggg
