Japanese Bagelheads

haha, Bier Hall is nowhere close to what is advertised as, every single time I have been there its dead empty, I go to scrums sometimes, but there is a great gaijin place in Gifu called the Tree House, its owned and operated by Austrailian English Teachers and its a nice-hole-in-the-wall kinda bar.

Well so far the combined wisdom here has taught us that people who like tattoos on women are, low class nutjobs who date amputee transvestites. :roll:

I think people are cherry picking our thread titles. I'm sure they don't call themselves bagelheads.

Yep. A quick Google search for the joke name "bagelheads" or "bagelhead" written in Japanese katakana results in zero hits:

"Bagelheads" is a great joke name for this 4-person "Japanese" trend, but both the Western mainstream press and the blogsphere is picking it up and now reporting this semi-fake report as a significant Japanese trend, sheesh. :rolleyes:

If the journos are coming in and stealing the headlines from here, it sounds like a challenge of extreme chinese whispers and we could have a heap of fun with it.

Did anybody write to the journos and tell them that it was a term coined by our Mulby and not what the "kids" are calling themselves?

They must have fun using all the weird and wacky stuff (/extreme sarcasm) from Japan. But I wish they would do a bit more research than just FG.

"Bagelheads" sounds like a 1980s power punk band from NY fronted by a Hassidic Jew. First 7" single: "Get your goyim hands off my gefilte fish" b/w "She's meshuga, but she digs the yamulke".

Wow, its pretty interesting how quickly this story is spreading, although the content is odd and extreme enough to likely trigger a fair number of 'check out this fucked up shit I found' emails among some folks.

At this moment, google has 5330 'baglehead' hits on websites in the last seven days...many seem to be various web forums talking about it with varying degrees of disgust and alarm, but it looks like some the huffington post picked up on it too.

My favorite google link summation is this one

Bagelheads isn't a slang term for my people, the Jews, it's actually a bizarre new beauty trend in Japan.

I resemble that remark, at least until I change my avatar.

Huffington Post picked up the story today too.

The whole thing is just retarded.

The reason it is really retarded is that Mulboyne coined the nick-name bagel-heads and the press have run with it without fact checking. It has all stemmed from FG.

That is fucked.

When I went to see that happening at Babylon bar, they called it a 'saline party'.

Japanese confused by worldwide "bagel head" trend
The Vancouver Observer, Sep. 27th, 2012
...Keroppy Maeda, a Japanese blogger, had an explanation for why television crews from around the world were suddenly keen to explore the bagel head phenomenon.
"It seems like last year, the television crews that were in Japan for the Fukushima nuclear fallout were looking for something new to shoot about youth culture, and they jumped on bagel heads...more...
