Yakuza have always held a weird position in Japanese society, often regarded as semi-legitimate organization.
So the website does not really surprise me. |

Considering that several terrorist organizations have more or less official sites I am not all that surprised.

Curator -- you may want to add [quote] markers around the material that you quoted from the website. Just in case someone misreads the message and thinks you are saying it yourself.

So Curator, they are saying if you want to work for the yakuza as a web designer they have an opening? You could make like a yak hacker... a real life shadowrun with the chance to .... ummm make their site look nicer?

You do not deal with the Yakuza. They aren't dragons, but it's still a terrible, terrible idea.

I'm reminded of this particular bit of awesome:
http://boingboing.net/2010/08/10/yakuza-3-review.html I confess that I'm *terribly* tempted to drop them an email and talk about interviewing them for when I need to write Yak stuff, but that would probably end badly. |
