Worst Place to Live in Japan: (warning: linked page is mildly NSFW)

The above is a screencap (note: not included to avoid hotlinking) from a TV program with a list entitled "statistics which show the reality of Osaka." The figures show that Osaka comes out tops (worst) out of all the cities in Japan in the following categories...

* Theft
* Car vandalism
* Murder and other violent crimes
* Number of homeless
* Death by Cancer
* Number of offices declining
* Unemployment rate (2nd worse)
* Bankruptcy rate (2nd worse)
* Number of primary schools that don't serve food
* National learning proficiency test
* Child abuse deaths

Even so, with all of that against it, it still feels a lot safer here than in the USA.

This negative stereotype is mostly because y'all dress in striped 70's track suits and talk in Kansai-ben.

Not me. I just go out in my rhinestone thong. It chafes, but such are the sacrifices we make for fashion.

Well, at least get a punch perm and wear sunglasses, ne?
