Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time
18 hours 22 mins ago
American filmmaker Michael Moore recently set off to Japan to check out the country's otaku culture and the infamous Akihabara. He apparently wasn't very impressed with what he found...
It's Tokyo's geek mecca — Akihabara. Games shops, arcades, manga, anime, figurines and maid cafes. You name it, they just might have it. A Japanese TV program gave filmmaker Michael Moore a tour.
The above image has a Japanese subtitle of the director offering this insight: "Lots of unnecessary things are being sold here."
He also noted, "Shopping may brighten the spirits, but they're just fooling themselves." Yes, fooling themselves by buying plastic models of giant robots.
When Moore visited a maid cafe and got the standard "Welcome master" greeting from the maids, Moore replied, "I'm not your master! Everybody's equal." Not in a maid cafe, Michael Moore!

Sorry for people who like him, I just think he's a bloody idiot.
He's an absolute douchebag. He thinks that the fame he's achieved for criticising aspects of his own country is a free license to criticise aspects of another. How could it possibly concern him how other people spend their time and money?
The maid cafe bit was hilarious. Saying that is akin to running onto a movie set and telling the actors that they aren't [whatever].
What is the world coming to ? I'm kind of scared.
