SEAN CRESPO: Big in Japan; MEDIUM LARGE: Big in Italy
Not surprisingly, many of us here at Drink At Work play a much larger role in the cultures of foreign nations. Our intelligent, well-conceived humor can't help but transcend language barriers and nationalistic conceits.
For instance, my weekly article "Sean Crespo Will Teach You Satire" distributed in the United States through the Drink At Work media empire and also on Cracked.com can be found translated into the native languages of hundreds of the world's most avid satire loving nations on various websites. For instance, in China, my column, "Sean Crespo Will Instruct Moments of Lucid Water Laughs" is the number one humor blog in the country. In Canada, my column is called "Sean Crespo Likes Geese." In Brazil, my column entitled "Tits Are Everywhere Down Here, Man!!!" is still struggling but we hope to pick up some traffic at year's end when we add "And Ass" to the title.
But nowhere am I more loved than in Japan. My column, "Sean-u San Shits Honor" is the #1 newspaper and internet column, and even a beloved television show in that country. Unfortunately, after dual taxes in Japan and here, and with dollar inflation, and bank fees, I only earn $200 a year off all that. But that doesn't take away from the love I get from my millions of bizarre Japanese fans. Thank you all...I think.
Well, I'm not alone in this multi-nationally appreciated group. Yesterday I was able to find a translated version of the Italian syndication of Ces' comic strip Medium Large, called GRANDE VENTI over there, on a wire service. In Italy, our friend Francesco Marciuliano is known only as "FRANCESCO!" but I think you'll find the spirit of the strip remains the same, although I must say and I think you'll agree once you read this strip, the idea of Italians being able to invent a working robot seems a bit far fetched. Although, it probably would make the trains run on time. Cheers!
