Meet Eye Talk. If you happen to be Asian, maybe you've heard of it. For those who aren't, a little back ground. In Japan ( I don't know about other Asian countries), it's become popular to have a double eye lid--like us crazy gaikoukujin (foreigners). People pay money for plastic surgury to give them eyes that are more round and less...Asian. But we all know plastic surgury is expensive (I live in the US. Plastic Surgury central), so some brilliant people came up with--glue. Glue that adheres your lid to...something...and gives you that nice, round eye...I guess.
After watching the video in the link, I think a one time sum of expensive plastic surgury would be less painful...christ on a cracker.

Uh, I thought they didn't like gaijins. It kills me when one group of people wants to look, dress, and act like the other, while still frowning upon the actual MEMBERS of that particular race.
Personally, yeah, I think their eye shapes are rather elegant.
I think Asian eyes are pretty too. Grass is always greener, I guess.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I wouldn't say Japan hates gaijin--but we do scare them. LOL Their racism is born of xenophobia, not outright hate (of course you always have people who hate other races everywhere). Sort of like finding that black spot in your oatmeal. You know it's just oatmeal, but it looks funny so your not sure if you should just eat it or get rid of it.
