I lived in Japan and speak Japanese of course I'm being facetious you assholes.

I was just commenting that the font doesn't look all that special. But I guess japafag goggles do make it look like it's written in platinum.

I never thought I'd type or say this, but shouldn't we consider Rob Schneider's feelings?

you make a good point but i couldn't think of any other actor that would do this project.

even walken, who takes on every movie he gets asked for, would probably say no  :-\

Also, you have to take into account that Walken might very well somehow make the movie watchable and possibly even LIKABLE.  Which is certainly what this movie should not be about.

The OP said "hurr hurr japan is so advanced", but what you on the left is japanese written with a Comic Sans (I think) font.  I think he is making fun of Ichirou (because he uses Comic Sans and lives in Japan), but I am not sure.

this thread is humorous and easy to understand if you know two things:

1. what the worst font created by humans is
2. what "dori" means
