it’s really good satire if a lot of people can’t tell it’s satire.
Comment on Japan appears to be confused about Christmas
DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 3 weeks agoThanks for the background! For those who don’t want to click:
This claim is mostly false. The photograph was actually part of an artwork by Yoshio Itagaki in 2005, which in itself is a commentary satirizing the urban legend of a Japanese department store misinterpreting Christmas. The photograph has been used out of context and spread alongside the claim it aimed to critique.
Basically a Japanese artist creating satire I guess?

The same idea is part of the background of this live-action stop motion (yes really) movie.

I wonder how many western artists create satire and then a random country like Chile is like, “Oh my god Americans do that?”
