49 year old Japanese man kills mom for......*Come on, guess.*

[dalek sec]

I thought it was that headcase who burnt down their house over some gundam models.

TV is evil and teaches our middle-aged about violence. We should therefor ban TV because one mentally instable retard did something superlatively atypical.

Wow, just..........wow. Why would you kill your mom for this? Why would you still be 49 years old and living with your mom?

It's different in Japan. Since their culture is much more family-centric, it's not uncommon for families to live together for the majority of their lives, especially considering the economic downturn AND the island's small landspace.

Oh look at me, I'm Flying-Emu, and I am soo knowledgeable, lalalala... *ahem*

Good point Emu, good point.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Wow that reminded me of the japanese guy last week who burned down his mom's house over gundam figures.

Poor Japanese mothers....

 

[Kinguendo]

I think it was more like this...

"Okay, I am 49 years old... I gotta move outta my mums hous, anywhere is better than here but I dont have any money... W-Where the hell is the TV remote! GRAH!"

 

[LongAndShort]

If we're blaming video games and TV we should probably also blame Japan for being such a bad influence. Japan is ruining our children! Who shall join with me to ban them?

 

[Irridium]

I blame video games.

Just what Jack Thompson would say....*sniffle*...I'm so proud!

'It wasn't me, Master Chief made me do it'

I told you to stay away from that boy.

What do you have to say for yourself young man?

 

[lizards]

ugh

thats all i have to say

 

[historybuff]

Wow, he hated his mom hardcore.

It's his monocle. It's the source of his power.

Besides, at 49 it might have been his mother who was living with him rather than him living with his mother. Just a point.

The distinction is important, as it implies which side is relying on the other.

 

[GrimTuesday]

well thats the last time she hides the remote from him.

 

[Blackadder51]

That links wrong, so im not a believer yet

 

[Sixties Spidey]

49 and you kill a fucking kid because you hide a TV Remote? This sounds like something for an episode of Jerry Springer or the Maury Povich show.

 

[wwjdftw]

i dont think he really killed his mom over the remote, that was probably the itty bitty sprinkles on the cake of problems he had with his mom.

besides, how did he kill her?

stabbed with a remote? FTW!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

I'm sorry, but this is fucking hilarious! Everyone has made such a fuss about how Americans have fucked up morals and are culturally retarded, but these last couple years we've barely taken the bronze in the "OMG! WTF?!" awards for pants on head craziness with Japan and China sweeping the gold and silver out from beneath us.

 

[magnuslion]

giving him oral sex while he was sleeping?

Im just saying.

Japanese folks are messed up. but the women are uber hot.

or maybe its just the anime.

 

[Destal]

Between this and the Gundam guy, I'm starting to wonder what the hell is wrong with people.
