Could it be that he was just playing dead to ward of perverts?
I guess you would be the pervert in this situation, then, huh?
D’oh! I’ve been exposed!
It would have been hilarious if you posed the same was as the pervert always does
that would have been an epic fail
The problem is that the manner poster was for Dec 2008 and I’m guessing the picture was taken more recently. I think the drunken bum gaijin was well within his manner rights to have a sleep on some empty seats.
Reminds me of the Sydney subway system.
i wouldn’t be able to resist, I’d paint his face!
I’ve had my face, body and even private parts painted with obscenities when passed out, and I had no idea! Not even the electrician who woke me up when he came to fix the fridge the next morning mentioned the abusive 4-letter words my friends scrawled on my forehead and elsewhere. How it all happened became much clearer weeks later when I discovered the perpetrators had taken photos of the event with my own camera! It was pretty embarrassing when I went got the film developed and the lady behind the counter showed me the pictures to confirm they were mine!
Disgusting. Just lay all over the place.
hey Lee. This got a mention in the Japan times today :

cool! thanks for letting me know.
Pity it was just your name and not your picture like Keiko Suzuki, 67, Retired, who is quoted as saying “Young people should know better than to use makeup on the subway. We don’t need manner posters! I only once saw a man doing pullups on a train in the 1960s, but I haven’t spotted it since.” I mean if you have to wait 49 years for an offence to complain about, you deserve your face in the paper.
YoMama, you’ve been known to do a few ‘pullups’ on an empty train, haven’t you?
reesan, congrarulations on getting a mention in the Japan Times under the heading:
Tokyoites foot bill for Metro finger-wagging.
Yorifulji (the artist who creates the Manners posters) sounds like a sick pervert who is acclaimed as a genius. From the Japan Times; “His books reflect a range of topics from the body’s decomposition in “Catalogue of Death” to healthy defecation in “Uncocoro.” Yorifuji has won prestigious awards….”
WTF?
nunnster, i thought that you were living testament to the link between a body’s decomposition and healthy defecation.
Indeed I am.
I should have read the health warning on the wrapper of those whale burgers before I had one. http://www.loneleeplanet.com/2009/10/hamburger-lucky-pierrot/
At least the guy was kind enough not to be spilling a can of beer! There is hope!
