Home

And it looks like the JapBots had a field day on my absence.
Where is that Tully when you need him?

Hors de combat, apparently. Glad you're home, Gino.

I assure you, I have been involved in the Japbot war, but I won't say on which side.

Welcome back!

"Japbot" sounds like racial slur, as it happens to encompass one.

Like how we say "Japanese Animation" rather than "Jap-animation."

(And I guess I always assumed the spam was Chinese characters.)

Glad you are back home safe and sound Gino!

Quick question, since you do quite a few movie reviews on your blog, will you be reviewing Toy Story 3?

Gino said...

Mrs. D: Toy Story 3????
not likely, unless i find it contains violence or sex , intrique or something else that might interest me.

Amanda: yeah, i guess 'japbot' is slurful. but i think slurs are appropriate in this instance. but i'm still trying to settle in a proper slurful term containing ethnicity of origin. i'm open to suggestions.
(btw, 'jap' isnt always slurful. often, it is merely shorthand)

Isn't Don Rickles even better than sex and violence? I think he's still playing Mr. Potatohead.

Gino said...

ok,tully.
your assigment is to see and review Toy Story 3 for us.

I'm pretty sure they're Chinese characters. (Japan uses similar ones, but when I put some of them in google translator it ID'ed as Chinese.)

Really? Thank you! How informative!

I'll try to get to a theatre this week with my little ones (cousins).
