The fact that someone drew the kanji for meat on the cover of this free paper is unremarkable, but what if I tell you that they also drew it on almost every forehead of every picture inside! That’s dedication.

  1. that 肉 thing is a manga character, can’t remember his name, something kinniku? (which links this to the last post at neomarxisme)

    it reminds me of the way japanese manga are sold in malaysia. on top of the factory-whited out genitalia someone goes over with a black texter and blackens out all nipples. quite remarkable when it’s done on a several meters high stack of say young jump books each the size of the yellow pages.

  2. Yeah, it’s for Kinnikuman, a sort of space wrestler. But it’s funnier when you just think of it as “meat.” Hehehehe…
