Not the gay magazine....sorry SJ
So last night while I was cooking, the grrl turned on the TV and this PI-like TV show came on. It was portraying the plight of an innocent apartment building owner, renting out the apartments through a fudoyasan.
They first shocked you with him, despite his protest of it being against his "renting rules" to rent to gaijin (language barrier excuse thrown in for good measure) him renting out a unit to two "gaikokujin" (They did mention the "gaikokujin" names at one point but after that it was just "gaikokujin." Spanish names and Spanish speaking in the reenactment..and one had a Japanese last name so who knows though??) who supposedly lived/worked here and spoke Japanese according to the fudosan. The "gaikokujin" consisted of one who immediately proceeded to spray paint the walls and another who used a sledge hammer on the shoji...and then stopped paying rent. The fat fuck "G-man" (they emphasized how tubby he was by always showing him eating...because Japan?) was called in when they were making noise all night. The solution was to knock on the door everyday and hand them the "rules" (while secretly recording the conversation....is that even legal here? harassment much?) The best part was the first rule sheet being angrily rejected by the feral "gaijkokuin" in Spanish because they couldn't read Japanese...but then the oyasan handed the "gaikokujin" a copy of the rules in "gaikokugo" (It was in English ) After doing this for awhile, the police were called in to politely ask the "gaikokujin" to stop. (please follow the rules thank you )
At this point I'm laughing my ass off at the terrible acting in the reenactment, the "bad gaikokujin," and overall story. It sounds like an over exaggerated or simply made up story to reinforce the "don't rent to foreigners" mindset.
Then they go through a similar situation with another renter in the same apartment (not known simply as "Nihonjin," they actually used his name but they did make him pretty feral as well) who was piling up all his trash bags in the hallway. The "G-man" used the fire department to ask him to stop after documenting the mess. Eventually, they tie the whole story together with it being a scheme by the fudoyasan to run the oyasan into the red (and drive him nuts) and force him to sell the property at a shitty price. The "G-man" finds a bank transfer receipt from he fudoyasan (furikomi?? what an amateur!) in the trash-filled and now abandoned feral "gaikokujin" apartment and with that "proof" the police go and arrest the fudoyasan. (and they have to show a closing scene of the G-man chowing down on some more food) Now obviously the main story was about the fudoyasan trying to fuck over the property owner using asshole renters and such but why the stretch to include "bad gaijin" in the plot when the only thing their supposed furrinness added to the plot was to portray the G-man as being prepared with a rule sheet in (the wrong)"gaikokugo?"
