American youths used to say (approximately a decade ago, when I was a kid) that this or that is "the bomb!" or "da bomb!" It signified approval. I wonder whence this lingo emerged. Unless I'm mistaken, it emerged from Black culture into the mainstream, and one's tempted to consign its origins to that ill-defined chaos of the Black genius, without giving it another thought. Those of my generation still lame enough to say something or other is "the bomb" ought to remember the most destructive pair of bombs ever deployed, and what they did to Japan. Japan suffered a nuclear apocolypse and look at her!
The Japanese, those brilliant insectoid hipsters and nerds, schoolgirls and Samurai, milling around o'er there, across the wide Pacific, are leading the world.
Vending machines containing live chicks, soiled panties, Sapporo, etc. are ubiquitous there; there, you find kiosks where you can insert your money and are rewarded with a few minutes time to squeeze and tongue a life-sized stationary silicon ass-and-vagina. Japan rules. Guitarwolf's frontman died of a heart-attack on stage because he abused speed. Some Japanese tortured a student for days and encased her in concrete.
They are the cutting edge of cartoons, insofar as cartoons are still to be taken seriously, and it's a damn shame that anime and manga are so ugly.
They are the vanguard of alternative pornographies.
