Only in Japan

Unread post by Hanzo_blade »

I read a funny article today. Just thought I'd share it with you all. Its short, funny, and kind of leaves you saying "wtf ahhah really?"

Wanted: Have you seen this Mii?

Image

It's the kind of thing that could only happen in Japan. A Kanagawa man is currently wanted on suspicion of a hit and run and posters featuring his likeness have been issued by police. However, rather than your typical artist's rendition of the villain, he has instead been represented by one of Nintendo's Mii characters.

Quite why police are using a Mii instead of the typical drawing, I don't know. However, the only plausible explanation is that the suspect was, indeed, a real-life Mii. So, if you spot any suspicious looking Miis in or around the Kanagawa area, be sure to let local authorities know.

The first image works just fine for me. I uploaded it to the forum for anyone who is having problems;

That's pretty good but it would be hard to identify someone from a Mii.

I'd be surprised when somebody actually turns in a random dude thinking he looked like the Mii.
