part 348 candles in the lighthouse window

Hey meme! How are you doing? What is up? Do you also have a candle lit in your window for the return of Himaruya? like anon who is a light house wife! I hope he returns from the sea soon, with stories of adventure and sea monsters and the life outside the island. Ah, Himaruya. Safe journeys. Safe... journeys.

Enjoy part 348!

That seems......pretty commonplace actually. Why would they talk about the bad stuff during the Olympic opening ceremony?

That's like saying that if America had something that went through its history during the Olympics, it should totally represent the enslavement of an entire race and the genocide of another.

I'm more upset that they had a whole section on Russian conquest when that's something that negatively affected a large number of countries that are competing.

Playing the trololo song during a segment about men and women (no gays allowed!!!) getting married wasn't cool either.

I....don't think they regard that song the way the rest of the world does.

But they should still be aware of how it's used outside their country. Ignorance isn't an excuse.

Check the history on the song and the guy who sang it

They're well aware of what it means outside their country. They're one of the biggest nations that is on the internet/Livejournal all the damn time.

Just because we turned it into a joke doesn't mean the song is a joke to Russians. He was a famous singer before that song became an internet joke.

Not to mention it was during the late 20th century the song was made, the title being "I Am Glad, 'Cause I'm Finally Returning Back Home".

How do you know? I don't think most American adults over a certain age even know that song and we're huge internet users.
