Diarrhea, Japanese People and The Fashion of the Future: The (Friday) Nooner (EST)!

Awesome Video Of The Day I Have A Bad Case Of Diarrhea I always thought Japanese people were total badasses, what with the Shogun warriors and the Seppuku and all that, but apparently I was all turned around on the subject. It turns out that Japanese people are actually huge sissies who call an ambulance every time they get diarrhea. Shouldn't the whole death-before-surrender thing come into play here? If you're Japanese, doesn't checking yourself into a hospital for your explosive diarrhea bring shame upon your family or something? Maybe I'm misinterpreting this whole thing. Maybe they're trying to learn the English for "I have a bad case of diarrhea" because they assume that traveling to an English-speaking country means they're almost certainly going to have to say it at some point. In that case, though, I'd assume that a Japanese person would pretend they DIDN'T have diarrhea to avoid imposing on anyone. You know - because it's rude. On the other hand, so is blasting diarrhea all over a bench at a bus stop. I'm pretty sure that's a rule of thumb no matter what country you're in. Then again, what do I know? This video was the first time I've ever seen a Japanese person in my entire life.
