"Spare Me My Life"

Ok, so a friend of mine came across this video recently. It's a Japanese workout video that teaches Japanese women (and possibly men) common English phrases that they might need to know before going to America. It's actually a really smart idea, teaching people a foreign language as they work out. I just feel sorry for the poor Japanese women who used this video to prepare to come to the States. It must have been terrifying to learn that the most important English phrases they needed to master before crossing the Pacific were, "Take anything you want," and, "I was robbed by two men."



This video is not meant in any way to ridicule Japanese people as a whole. I just got tickled by the things that the women were saying, that's all. I know that this video does not represent all Japanese people, just like I would hope that the Japanese don't think that the people they see on American television don't represent all Americans. If you are Japanese and this video embarrasses you, take comfort...at least you don't have Tom Cruise.
