I was rereading an old article from IGN today and realized there's a hilarious/perfect reference in there about Japan that would make a great DYKG

Basically the article I linked above tells of how the Xbox 360 struggles badly in Japan to maintain a market, up until the point where a little over a year ago they discontinued the sale of Xbox 360's in Japan permanently. Many believe its downfall to be the lack of exclusives-but mostly due to the console being made by Americans for Americans. When Activision boss Bobby Kotick visited Tokyo, he was delighted to see a bin of Activision games under a huge sign. When he promptly asked the the translator what it said he politely exclaimed "Western Dogshit" much to his dismay. The official quote from the article said this; Michael Pachter, the well-known analyst, tells a funny story about this one time when Activision boss Bobby Kotick visited Tokyo. "Bobby walked into a games store and he was delighted to see a big pile of Activision games, underneath a huge sign," retells Pachter. "He asked what the sign said. An interpreter politely translated - 'Western Dogshit'."

So that's apparently what Japan thinks about our games and consoles, pretty nice and funny tidbit of info to know about.
