How embarrassing, lol.

 

[LiK]

its not the same


no, i don't want to hear, it's sooooooooooo not the same

Whatever dude. People can't pick and choose what is acceptable on credit cards. I see checks with cartoon characters all the time.

 

[Kincaido]

no, i don't want to hear, it's sooooooooooo not the same

You're right. This is sooooooooooooo much better.

 

[Silky]

I would hope that kick51's comment was sarcastic

 

[Esura]

When Keeping it Kawaii goes wrong

I chuckled a bit at this.

 

[Bomber Bob]

lol I had an hello kitty cash card when I lived in japan.

was #swag as hell

 

[Noisepurge]

i didnt get in trouble when i used this in the states!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I'm confused, why don't you just check if the card works or not?

He's a minority. Not worth the 5 seconds of inconvenience.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

What the hell?

Do you have to play Dudebro: My Shit Is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time, to not be considered "weird" in America?

You basically have to go by "what ever is the relevant status quo" to not be considered weird in America. Anything "different" or going against the grain or popular trend is considered "weird".

 

[Ban Puncher]

Serves him right for not releasing any new Berserk chapters.

Case in point:

 

[nullset2]

I want an animu card

 

[BGBW]

I'm going to check if I can customise my credit card.

Thing is I use it for online shopping so no one would see it anywho.

 

[metalmachine]

That is funny...

 

[mitch1971]

Just don't go to America. You ain't missing much.

 

[Village]

Police were obviously Miku fans.

"break yoself fool, this vocaloid territory"

 

[Naminator]

Land of the free, home of the brave!

 

[The Awesomest]

I bet if the card had a picture of a cop threatening a black dude with a gun on it, he would be welcomed like a god

I won't lie, this made me laugh for some reason

 

[genjiZERO]

Haha, that's kinda a cute card. Embarrassing for anyone over 19. But still cute.

 

[Village]

Haha, that's kinda a cute card. Embarrassing for anyone over 19. But still cute.

He likes that thing he likes, where is the embarrassment part.

 

[LiK]

Does this include girls?

 

[genjiZERO]

Adults should conform and be dull. Keep it in a hidden folder on your computer like a man!

Does this include girls?

Double standard ;P

 

[IISANDERII]

Baka gaijin?
He's in LA just trying to use his damn credit card.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

hilarious

 

[PKrockin]

Baka gaijin?
He's in LA just trying to use his damn credit card.

He's referring to the Americans who thought it was fraudulent, not the Japanese man who was trying to use his legit Japanese credit card.

 

[Kandrick]

Haha, that's kinda a cute card. Embarrassing for anyone over 19. But still cute.

Why embarrassing ?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I presumed everywhere used chip and pin now. Bizarre.



No doubt it was but to fucking sue? Jesus have a bit of fucking balls and admit there was a mistake and move on. You don't have to sue for every fucking mistake someone makes. He'll have been embarrassed no doubt but to take legal action is laughable over this.

Many places do have them, most people just continue to use swipe method though.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Oh good lord, is this going to become another thread where we endlessly debate whether Moe and cutesy Japanese anime characters are an embarrassing motif for adults to be seen sporting outside Japan, while totally ignoring that different cultures can have literally antithetical ideals about what constitutes appropriateness and that's totally fine?

 

[sangreal]

the source for this is some guy on twitter saying his father was arrested? okay

 

[stargateheaven]

this just annoyed me alot for some reason. it's another case of foreigners jumping the gun.

 

[Technoweirdo]

Odd that the bank would offer the guy a free meal when it's not their fault, but I suppose they wanted to have something nice come out of the guy's day if the store/police didn't do anything to compensate him. Out of curiosity, did they own up?

A lot of people don't know this but being a weirdo is still illegal in the US

It is? Whew, dodged a bullet there.
<-- Canadian

 

[kasane]

Hah! The taste of freedom

Also glorious nippon will take revenge just you wait murica

 

[IISANDERII]

Ah ok, so the OP use the word gaijin incorrectly?

 

[Annubis]

Will they ever come out of the dark ages?

The day they switch to metric.

 

[Manu]

ha, typical baka gaijins

Fixed.

 

[Orca]

Nobody posted the Fry 'shut up and take my money' credit card?

 

[Storm360]

After watching this clip, I think they should throw the book at him.

Make it stop. Please.

 

[PKrockin]

Make it stop. Please.

I turned up my speakers almost to full blast at the beginning, expecting some kind of sound before she started. My poor ears.

Ah ok, so the OP use the word gaijin incorrectly?

Uh... actually, I wonder if that is an appropriate use of the word. A Japanese man in America, referring to an American. Hm...

 

[Valkerionseven]

So its ok for people to use CC with their ugly ass kids on it taken with a bad camera and it does not look fake...

 

[kick51]

Whatever dude. People can't pick and choose what is acceptable on credit cards. I see checks with cartoon characters all the time.

that wasn't the issue. you tried to equate it with disney.

You're right. This is sooooooooooooo much better.

i don't particularly like disney and don't feel the need to defend their honor, but avatar quote

I've heard Japanese people still use gaijin, even when traveling abroad in other countries.

 

[Branduil]

This is why Berserk will never be finished. He's in jail.

You got beaten to this joke unfortunately.

 

[LiK]

Discrimination.

 

[Drillow]

My credit card can't be this kawaii~

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Serves him right for not releasing any new Berserk chapters.

Hahahahahahaha

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Just don't go to America. You ain't missing much.

America's gone through great strides to achieve a certain amount of freedom and liberty(break down big walls and sort), but it can most DEFINITELY work on the little things. Sometimes with all we've achieved, things people do and issues raised as of recent, I still think we have a LONG, LOOOOONG way to go. We aren't out of the woods, nor are the pinnacle of freedom, even though some overly patriotic folk might paint use out to be that way. Step by step, gotta break down those walls of indifference, slay those dragons. Progression, baby. Everybody's gotta be in step or we all fall back!

 

[Valnen]

Compensation culture gone mad. Yes it was stupid by the police but this is equally so.

The cops should lose their jobs over this as far as I'm concerned. You shouldn't just be able to arrest innocent people and get away with it.

 

[PFD]

The Waifu card. Never leave home without it.

Fixed

 

[foxuzamaki]

I re-read the last paragraph. Please don't assume the rest of the world shares the same thought processes as America. Actually, I probably should say, for balance, that it is also unfair to assume all of America shares the same thought process as one vendor and a few police in one state.
