<title>Comment by Mr. Poe</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>1) The man asked the woman a question</p>

<p>2) The woman (started) to answer</p>

<p>3) She answered, but he interrupted her with some crazyo antics, because her answer was obviously lame</p>

<p>4) She was slightly confused, until she noticed how sexy and intriguing his limpdick fistclench was</p>

<p>5) He noticed #4, but felt like it wasn't enough, so he Celine Dion'd it up a notch, showing his innermost emotion(s)by raising his fist with a well-played shiteating grin</p>

<p>6) He realizes what he's actually supposed to be physically saying to the woman, so he slow-mo's his fist to her face. His form is flawless if you were to present it in FF mode</p>

<p>7) He moves his hand away from her face, lifts his fingers individually (this is still slow-mo) until his fist is wide open, dropping a white note that most likely says "Fuck you"</p>

<p>8) She's retarded and attempts to display that she's not by staring at the piece of paper that most likely says "Fuck you"</p>

<p>9) Like most men are with women, he is not satisfied. So he defies the laws of gravity by zooming towards her (still slow-mo), ending the exemplary portrayal of man-reasoning-with-woman with what appears to be a perfect backhand slap to the woman's face</p>

<p>His initial question is of no consequence, and the question doesn't fucking matter, because he's awesome.</p>

<p>End.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The short bit makes no sense. It comes from this longer thing:<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FSuMt9LcOE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FSuMt9LcOE</a></p>

<p>In japan they have very formal business etiquette, this is a joke about that, the guy starts out doing normal business card trading and then just freaks out.</p>

<p>It's actually not very funny.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@5</p>

<p>Dude, that's almost five minutes long. You're ruining our fun with your analytical bullshit.</p>

<p>+#4</p>

<p>Disclaimer: I truly believe that women are equal to men, but I also believe that most women lack a sense of humor about women. If what I posted offended you instead of allowing you to notice that I am an idiot who thinks he's being funny when in reality he has no sense of humor whatsover, and he's obviously a fucking moron...well, waltz on back to the kitchen, guuurlll!</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Wait. So these people are Japanese?</p>

<p>If that's true, well, OK.  In that case I can see how confusing it would be.  I mean, Japanese?  Yeah, sure, I can see that now.  So when I look at it like that it doesn't make a lick of sense.  Not a lick.</p>

<p>Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>oh comeon, i'm not even japanese</p>

<p>1. he is holding a business card with two hands, and thus it's her card he's holding</p>

<p>2. he crushes the card, a sign of disrespect to her.  </p>

<p>3. he show how superior he is and how strong he feels by displaying his over-played gesture.  notice his nose is up in the air with superiority.</p>

<p>4. he drops it on the table as if it's trash</p>

<p>5. the zoom signifies his incredibly growing ego.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by ellarosa</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>it reminds me of a monty python skit where john cleese is interviewing michael palin for a job.   you know, the one where he suddenly rings a bell, sings "goood niiight a-ring-ding-ding"  and starts shouting "3-2-1" , then calmly proceeds to write something on a piece of paper, all in the face of a bewildered and alarmed palin.  everyone's been influenced by python, including the japanese.</p>]]></description>
