complete with a "contact us!" button . .

Yakuza have always held a weird position in Japanese society, often regarded as semi-legitimate organization.

So the website does not really surprise me.

And they hired Web Designers from the 90s to take care of the design.

What could be more Cyberpunk than that?

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.

AFAIK there are even fanzines for the major organizations and their more famous members...

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 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.

Noooo!! Not my left pinkie! I need that for the Shift key!
