Japan just gave up a goal.

Lee, 48, is one of 150,000 Korean residents of Japan with allegiance to communist North Korea.


North Korea supporters account for a quarter of all Koreans in Japan, many of whom are descendants of students and workers who came, or were forcibly brought to Japan, while Korea was a Japanese colony from 1910 to 1945.


"Of course I will support the North Korean team because since my elementary school days I have received an ethnic and ideological education sympathetic to the North," said Lee.

Like many North Korean loyalists, Lee attended a school run by a pro-Pyongyang residents' group, where he was taught to revere the communist state and its leaders, whose portraits hang on classroom walls.


Lee's affinity for a homeland he has never seen also reflects a sense of alienation from Japanese society.


"We have not been treated as respectable human beings. We are something like refugees here in Japan. No passports and no jobs for us," lamented Lee, who works at a pinball parlor.


Job opportunities for pro-Pyongyang ethnic Koreans are limited largely to firms run by members of their community such as the pachinko pinball parlors, night clubs, barbecue restaurants and trading houses specializing in business with North Korea.


"In Japanese society we are suffering from invisible pressure and barriers," said Song Yun-bae, 41, who also works at a pachinko parlor in Tokyo.

I can understand not liking Japan but shit they'd be eating tree bark and drinking piss in NK. I guess everyone needs to be proud of something. If their schools didn't brainwash 'em they'd probably just be proud to be second class Japanese. I've learned to take some pride in being and getting fucked.

Hey, you're not trying to get a rise out of us by saying, 'NIP' are you?

How 'bout your boyfriend's dick? Details please!

[jjaappaa]

How 'bout your boyfriend's dick? Details please!

BWAHHH! Why do you think they have three tvs!

Why does Japan have a Tokyo garbage crow in their jersey logo?

Why does Japan have a Tokyo garbage crow in their jersey logo?

It's a MUTANT 3-leg crow!

(Korean's claim it's a Korean mutant symbol the Japanese ripped off.)

Why does Japan have a Tokyo garbage crow in their jersey logo?

Three-legged craw holding a ball is called "Yatagarasu" and represents the god of day,namely, the sun, cited from a classical book of old China.
It is believed that the Yatagarasu provided Emperor JImmu and his army with directions on his exepedition to the East and so there is a familoarity with the bird in Japan.
The yellow and blue colors of the flag represent fair play and youth, respectively, thereby suggesting Japan Football Association's spirit of fairness backed by the vigorous power of youth.

....In various mural paintings drawn during Koguryo (B.C. 37 ~ A.D. 668),
we can see the gold crow. The gold crow has three legs. See a picture
of the gold crow at:

It was the symbol of the sun to Koreans, whereas a toad was the symbol
of the moon. The legend says that the crow eats fire of the sun. Why
did the crow have three legs? Two legs implies imperfection, so
Koreans added another leg. Koreans cherished the number 3. The most
ancient Korean history book called Chun-bu-kyung also started with the
number 3 (1 + 2 = 3). Three denotes perfection or maturation.

This seemingly forgotten three-leg crow became a news during the 2002
worldcup in Korea. The three-leg crow has been used as the logo of JFA
(Japan Football Association), probably since 1950, which most Koreans
had not noticed. Look at the log at:

http://www.jfa.or.jp/index_e.html

Of course, Japan has a record on the three-leg crow according the book
(Nihon Shogi dated in AD 720), apparently influenced by Koguryo. But
Japan do not have any ancient paintings on the three-leg crow or the
related legend. Why do Japanese try to copy even this kind of ancient
logo of Koreans.

I'd say the better question would be to ask Koreans why they are so pre-occupied with everything Japan does (or has ever done) that even remotely looks like it has some tiny connection to Korea... Don't they have anything better to do with their time!? Or is Japan so interesting and important that they want to spend every waking second thinking about it...?

Having lived in the sub dump in the south (Pusan) I can attest to the truth of what you're saying.

Teaching Koreans Japanese is fun. I had a map of Japan (in English) in the classroom and they would bitch about the name "Sea of Japan". "It's the Sea of Korea" they would protest. "In the U.S. we recognize it as the Sea of Japan". They then went on to deface my map. My favorite was the boy who stood up during a report about "ramen" and claimed "Ramen isn't from China. It's from Korea." I told him to prove it and all he could say was "All Koreans know that!" He couldn't find any sources, though...

Surely they are charles' half-sisters or something - they're certainly "cut from the same cloth".

It'd be morbidly amusing to see a video of them at a surprise dinner with, say, Takechanpoo and Ishihara.
