Scary, irresponsible parents. They need to take a long, hard look at themselves, and not at society in general. Society didn't let a 36-year-old move in with their teenage daughter... THEY did!
My first thought was like that of Queer in the Cincy: worms. Or one big worm. Seriously, though, you can buy tapeworms in certain countries as weight-loss aids.
And if it wasn't a worm, why on earth didn't he contact someone back home and let them know he wanted the hell out of there because he was being starved?
So, basically, the vaccine did nothing but line the vaccine manufacturers' pockets. Obviously, trying to predict which strains will be a problem is like trying to predict the weather: you can make a guess based on current conditions, but beyond that it's a crapshoot.
If he was going to do that, he should have gone the whole way. The white books could have been chromatically arranged by title colour. They're just a jumble at the moment.
@ Jim: Are you an anti-environmentalist? If not, I wasn't talking about you, so why get so bent out of shape?
I love Neatorama. It's so easy to annoy people and get called names for making a simple observation. I'm not sure if it's thin skins or what. Oh, well... it's still amusing.
I'm surprised he had any luck with a last name like "Robocop". Sounds very traditionally Japanese. I guess the ladies over there like that sort of geekery. Over here, though, he'd probably get more laughs than... whatever else he might be getting.
And sex comes first? Looks like good old-fashioned courting is truly dead the world over. Too bad men haven't figured out that women still like to be treated like people... and not just sex toys.
So a paper cup takes longer than is usually thought to biodegrade? So what? It's still less time than it takes a styrofoam cup to break down.
I guess it depends on what kind of world we want: one with more paper waste (which is from a renewable resource and can be recycled if we're not too lazy about it) or more styrofoam waste (which is unsightly at best, toxic at worst). If people used the sturdier styrofoam cups more than once, you'd have a different argument. But since they usually go straight to the landfill, that's another story.
When someone gets a group together to record this and put it on YouTube, make sure you link it! (Although, from the looks of it, it won't sound like much.)

It would be cool if houses were built with those sorts of gardens in the basement!
