What's on the news? Oh Michael Moore visits a Maid Cafe...
Shinichi Karube of “Mezamashi TV” takes American director Michael Moore on a tour of Akihabara. Knowing it is Michael Moore, who knows what would happen with him?
Michael Moore is amused with the crowd of onlookers taking photos of himself and Karube. He borrows a camera from one onlooker so he can take the onlooker’s photo. He then asks to call the guy’s dad, who is a reporter for the Sankei Shimbun (Fuji TV is part of the same media group). The father cannot speak English, but Moore attempts a conversation anyway. Upon seeing a man wearing a mask, Moore decides to give a lecture on why it is good for us as humans to breath in germs and get a stronger immune system. The lecture doesn’t seem to have much effect. They move on to a figure shop. Moore ignores the figures and buys some wire instead. Next, they interview a Japanese gyaru. She had never heard of Michael Moore, which gives the show an opportunity to air some clips further introducing Moore’s achievements to the audience at home. The gyaru and her friend had just come from a maid cafe….Moore and Karube go to Akihabara’s famous @home maid cafe. Moore does not seem to enjoy the servility of the maids and fears that it is some sort of pedo business that will soon be raided by the police. Before leaving, Moore apparently comments on his opposition to Obama’s Afghanistan policy. He then reminds Karube that masks are bad and germs are good. Teenage girls are to be avoided.For me personally, I am a bit surprised that Michael Moore hasn't done one of his "OMGSTUBZTHISISMAIDS?", the sort that if he does not approve of something, he will make it to viewers that Maid Cafes or having figures are bad! On a sidenote, no I do not have figures nor have I went to a madi cafe (even though I would like gain some experience in one!) What are your thoughts of Michael Moore visiting Japan? [JapanProbe]
