沖縄国際映画祭 日本語 メールニュース
Just for laughs... why on earth did Mr Dabbs subscribe to the Okinawa international film, festival Japanese language (they do have on in English) mailing list? Planning some holidays in the sun?
His Girl Friday, All The President’s Men, Pravda, Broadcast News... As a journalist, I ought to be thrilled by reading books and watching dramatisations about other journalists being journalists and generally going about doing their journalisming. Yet there are few things in popular media as forlorn as a journalist talking about …
"We will now contemplate the awesomeness of having readers of Reg, and Dabbsie in particular, who also read Japanese..."
Speak for yourself. I used Goggle Mistranslate...
EDIT: Although the fact that I recognised 日本語 as being "nihongo" / Japanese-language tipped me off that there was a faint aroma of rattus rattus in the wind...
Now I know what "May-Ru Ni-Yu-Su" is a mangling of.
For those who still didn't get it, it's a wasei-eigo word meaning "mail news".
The whole subject line actually translates to "Okinawa International Film Festival mail news in Japanese", which Google Translate gets close enough.
I do happen to be studying Japanese, is that a crime?
Only tangentially relevant, but it's Friday:
One of the most annoying things in the world is the pictures used to illustrate the personal finance pages in newspapers. The things they're writing about have no visual attributes (what does a photograph of an ISA look like?), but they have a quota of pictures to fill, so they fill the spaces with irrelevant pictures connected to the text by tendentious captions.
The part about "A recent survey" just makes me think of the daily fail.
A recent study has found that *Insert item* causes cancer. With the actual contents being that there has been an observational study performed which found a link with "insert scientifict name for Nutrient X" and cancer. "Item" contains "Nutrient X" and will therefore give you cancer, ignoring the fact "Item" has 0.1mg and the observational study only found a link with those consuming 300mg or more per day.
Reminds me of that other thing we had recently, about how meat is as bad for you as smoking. For advice on how much this was bunk, just google
examine.com high protein diet cancer.
I would post the link but my works firewall is about as accurate as an american with an assault rifle surrounded by friendlies.
To be fair, the DM guys write this stuff not because they are lazy (they are not) but because this is exactly the kind of thing DM readers want to read. People often blame the DM for turning readers into nutters but publishing works the other way around: you target your readership with stuff they want to read. The Guardian does this too, of course.

"Hello everyone
"a new approach is necessary to imagine the righteousness of Jesus with
brand-new innovations when evaluating God
Prior to the debate about God , you should also try http://www.wwwwwwwwww.www
;-)"
Well, I haven't looked at the actual site and I don't intend to, but, when did the Jesus business get overrun with new-approach innovation gobbledygook? Doesn't it already have its own?
Then again, this may be randomly generated text, and also may be a malware site, and actually makes Jesus cry.
