important discovery

I just made an amazing discovery today. Channel-2! I found what appears to be the largest web forum on the world. It is Japanese too, which is even more relevant for me seeing as though I live over here. It also seems that Shift-JIS (encoding) text art is extremely popular (see picture to the right and hopefully below).

This site gives users the option to post anonymously- in a society where people have largely kept their opinions to themselves, this has opened the floodgates for raw emotions to come out. I look forward to using this as a study tool to improve my language as well as learn more about current trends and opinions over here.

An English language version has also been launched. Channel-4.

The following picture should slightly resemble Mr. T.
