A Tale of Two Photos

I’m still trying to figure out which picture is more disturbing — this one (taken from the Yasukuni Shrine yesterday) or this one (taken in Tuva yesterday). (HT to reader)

    What’s more disturbing is that Occidentalism Matt will get a hard on for the first and Dogbert one for the second.

    # 2,

    Yeah… those ears are ENORMOUS.

    Actually, that kid looks pretty cute in that imperial army uniform, which may be part of the irony. I wonder if some enterprising Japanese organization makes it a Boyscout uniform…

    Regarding Putin. 10-15 years ago all that flab was actually muscle. I heard Putin was a black belt in Karate and Judo, both being popular KGB past times…
