Oriental Pearl
Segment A:
Cam invents a conspiracy theory and a new dessert.
Totemo Drew joins our Patreon and Discord. With ill intent!
Radrey from "Why Come Japan” loses his interview to Totemo Drew because of Radrey’s association with KoK. What kind of weak pathetic loser would take out their inability to listen to criticism out on poor lovable Radrey? And to cancel an interview with him just because he also interviewed us? Shame! What’s that? Oriental Pearl pulled the exact same shit a few hours after this episode dropped? Oh! Sorry Radrey.
Segment B:
There is a trope in movies, such as heist movies or something involving getting a team together. One person will be the “genius” espionage expert. They will always have the amount of languages they speak listed. It goes something like this:
Boss: (Protagonist), let me introduce you to the fifth member of our team, (love interest). She has twenty PHDs and speaks 300 languages. She is basically C3PO with tits.
It is lazy hack writing that quickly explains that someone is smart. And it is true, a speaker of multiple languages is often a disciplined, academic, or cultured person.
Think about what you could do with the ability of speaking multiple tongues. You could work in diplomacy, trade, humanitarian ventures. However, you would need some other skills obviously to be actually useful. A pop-star who speaks two languages probably couldn’t translate medical speeches.
But what if you had no other skills? Would you chose to shove cameras in the faces of small businesses and make prank-bros videos? Probably not, like who the hell would do that?
Oriental Pearl!
Welcome to the illustrious “polyglot” “community”. We are not sure if this is a real thing, but if it’s anything like the Jvlog community, it means being petty, thin-skinned, having an overinflated feeling of value, and annoying local Japanese people.
