Pace on Earth

Picture This

Picture of the Year:

I came across this the other day and it made me giggle. At first glance I assumed North finally got his dream job at the Taiwanese School of Rock and this was the uniform; but I would have read about that on his blog.

This is funny at the simplest level; this poor kid likely has no idea what the english writing on his t-shirt means. I'm guessing that there are thousands of North American girls with japanese profanities tattooed on their ankles and some guy in Japan probably took a picture of this same situation going the other way. In some ways it is just a big, funny indicator of the scope of globalization - although not quite as much as the story someone told me about being in Africa and seeing an empoverished child with a Social Club staff t-shirt on. You can't make this stuff up.


Pace out.
