So, how does one manufacture outrage?
Just ask President Lee Myung Bak who seeking to boost his popularity and legacy at the end of his single 5 term as president has a dim-bulb go off in his brain and comes to the realization that being as popular as a case of athletes foot just isn't going to make it. So, why not become the first Korean President to travel to the Dokdo islands there by killing two birds with one stupid idea. Give the nationalists at home something to have a happy dance over while at the same time pissing in the Japanese collective swimming pool what could possibly go wrong?
Just to insure that the Japanese get the right idea he doubles down on his inner George W. Bush and gives a speech on Korean Independence day demanding that the Japanese emperor apologize for its conduct during World War II.
Not wanting be left out of the lets create some outrage game a group of activists from China set out to land on the Senkaku islands which are claimed by Japan and China.
Naturally they were accompanied by a reporter from Phoenix TV in Hong Kong. I wonder if they saw the irony in the name. 14 of these yahoo's, brave souls all jumped into the water from several hundred meters off shore and swam to the islands which are uninhabited. Waving Chinese flags and screaming nationalistic slogans these 14 clowns proclaimed the islands now belonged to China. After which they returned to their boat and where arrested by Japanese police.
Yep, they really showed those Japanese: that they could swim and that they sure can yell loud.
Not to be left out of the parade of morons a group of 150 Japanese nationalists decided that they would strike back and invade the Senkaku islands themselves even though they are currently administered by Japan. Once that party train gets rolling there is no stopping.
Like the fools before them a small group jumped into the water swimming to the islands so that could raise the flag and scream idiotic nationalists slogans. Even though the captains of the boats they had chartered cautioned them against taking such an action as these were shark were shark infested waters. Why listen the professionals when there are vast moments of stupidity to be had.
Naturally they were detained and questioned by the Japanese police. Next stop the Darwin awards.
