that’s fucking depressing
Is this from the Korean movie where all the family are grifters? It was a good flick!
It's titled Parasite and yes it's that oscar winning movie about symbiotic parasites
Calling them grifters kinda proves you didn't really "get" the point of the movie. That's why so many people are downvoting you
yeah english is not my first language, they are parasites
This is a hilarious example of how in some cases social commentary cannot be obvious enough.
Lazy b8
One representative from a client wanted to be there for every small change we made. The guy slept so little, his cognitive functions stopped working correctly and he started giving nonsense answers. His manager had to put him in a cab and send him home with strict orders to sleep and not come back for 48 hours.
You don't want a person like that running a country. These are the types that accidentally start a war.
Japan looks more and more like a death cult focused on staying busy as they die
Shouldn't Japan's priority be 'sex, sex, sex' right now?
Nah too busy causing more of the deranged work yourself to death mentality and widening the gap on wealth inequality more.
That'll get the folks to have more kids!
"work, work, work, work, and work (that dick)"
Japan will be the first industrialized nation to suffer depopulation. Been saying it will be interesting to see how they navigate the problem because sooner or later we'll all be faced with it.
Not faster than south Korea right?

True,especially their old problem (from what I heard)
Might be a Rihanna fan.
Conservatives are fucked in the head.
Wonder if Shinzo Abe's succesor is gonna get the doohickey treatment as well.
At least it wasn't "golf, golf, golf, golf, and golf."
Hahaha slavery on a country wide scale! Work till you drop!
Now Trump is pissed off because he was angling for the whole "Fight! Fight! Fight!" phrase that he engineered during a false assassination attempt.
