Japanese Subway Vending Machine

Herro? May I hewp you?



I was reading a very informative article about Japanese subways when I decided to search for photos of Japanese ticket machines. It turns out, that despite the high-tech reputation of the robot-loving Japanese, these high tech machines still rely heavily on human customer service.

    “Herro? May I hewp you?”

    Apparently THAT’S how Japanese people speak? Or it is just the stereotypical Asian person from tv who we all laugh at? Chinese…Japanese… they’re all the same, right? With all the same embarrassing accent?

    Please change this offensive caption.
