Ironically, child poverty is getting a bigger problem in Japan these years. I did see some Japanese tweets that mention this Eat It line is now becoming true. In 1984, I'd consider the line was a joke, but now, I kinda feel it's something we need to think about it.Heds wrote:EVERYBODY FORGOT THIS

Poverty in Japan/Wikipedia wrote:16 percent of Japanese children live below the poverty line. Japan has some of the worst wealth inequality and highest rates of child poverty in the developed world, according to a Unicef report released in April, 2016 that ranked Japan 34th out of 41 industrialised countries.
Actually, when I first heard this song it instantly reminded me of all the things my relatives forward to me on WhatsApp. Same thing, different medium I guess.Bruce the Duck wrote: ↑Thu Jul 03, 2014 2:31 am Actually, the most recent song that is kind of outdated:

I love this song because I know someone (a coworker) who actually is just like this - She used to constantly forward stupid jokes and pictures and crap to everyone at my work. But now with the proliferation of Facebook and Twitter (which was actually already around when the song came out), this has more or less gone away, because now they post that crap for the entire world to ignore instead.
And there's me who thought Al was some sort of meme oracle.Bruce the Duck wrote: ↑Thu Jul 03, 2014 1:44 am Here's Johnny - Very badly dated. I don't even remember what some of those lines reference at this point.
