    And that culture is “random shit thrown all over webpages”? Japan still used a lot of faxes up until about 10 years ago. Maybe it’s just that old people are mostly in charge of things and the society is still largely catering to the whims of random old men who aged into their positions rather than earning them.

      I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say, here. Why does Japanese preference for web marketing bother you that much?

        What do you mean by “web marketing”? In most countries they’ve moved onto web 2.0, but Japan is still mostly stuck in the past and lots of their sites look worse than random angelfire webpages from 30 years ago.

            Have you considered that they don’t? Microsoft and google are all about anti consumer in service of ad revenue and selling user date in their products these days, but not many people are arguing that US consumers enjoy spyware and less functionality than we had 20 years ago.

              Did someone ruin your day or something? What is your problem with web pages from another country? Why do you care?

                Lol I live in Japan and the fact that their web webpages suck is a relatively constant thorn in my life here.
