For decades people have used cartoons in their failed attempts to teach foreign languages to children, when all along they should have been showing them to adults. And included jail bait.

I'm confused. Is this mistranslated or are the japanese really that friendly? Where's Atusiya when you need him?

It's a shop/

Moetan was a bad ecchi comedy Maho-shoujo show that ended with a segment that taught you phrases in english, like "Late night anime gets rescheduled and messes up my recording!" or "My teacher said that watching this show won't teach me english." For that one, someone dubbed in dialog from Pixel Mari-tan, a show about a foul-mouth cute personification of naval marines.

You can even buy an expensive little figure of her, complete with middle-finger-giving pose.

Call me slow, but I don’t follow this.

Sorry, I knew it was terribly written at the time but was too tired to fix it.
"I have to sift through all their text-to-Twitter conversations that they could just have by texting each other directly, and their status updates and thoughts that I already see on Facebook, just to read..." should work better.
