Hahahah funny, C3KO from Hello wars. By the way, this is the designer of the original kitty......ah...
It's funny but I can't understand it at all. It's in an article of the Independent, "world's funniest airport names revealed". I understand Batman Airport is the weirdest, Mafia Airport is the plain scariest...But why is Fukui the rudest? Fukui means fortune place....ah! Sounds like F4 words? I picked in this post, for Japanese "Scheveningen" sounds funny because it means a nasty guy. Erromango sounds like erotic manga for us.
People do go out on weekend and spend time at home with family, it is called Sugomori (nest phenomenon), I wrote. On the other hand, there are cooking toys or cooking tools like home bakery, ice creamer, takoyaki maker, yakitori maker, moffle maker (waffle with mochi= rice cake). I understand we need to entertain ourselves at home like dining out, but I can't accept this, Shinkansen (bullet train) kaiten sushi system. Mom cooks sushi and rotates it by train at home? No no no no, no thank you.
Fukui? I have a work colleague who used to work in Fukuoka and he used to make a number of jokes about the name of the city and the local women he bought back to his apartment. It is silly British humour to be honest.

@lex: according to this page it sounds like "sukebe ningen", which means "depraved human being"

That's interesting, I grew up near Pratt and never knew Pratt could have a rude meaning.

Scheveningen? Really? That's funny :) Can you tell me the word which sounds the same? (I can read Japanese).
Thank you and kind regards :)
