This story is quite extraordinary... it really meant something in Japanese after all!
You should definitely learn Janpanese.

This story is complete nonsense.

"Kyootansurukokorogaarimasuka" is typed out using the standard English transliteration, but doesn't actually fully reflect how a Japanese person would pronounce the sentence.

If the person hearing this sentence had zero knowledge of Japanese, there is little chance one would spell it perfectly from just audio reference.

In other words, this is a load of poo poo.

"頭が悪い" This is an extremely offensive nickname.

That's what I was thinking, it's too perfect. The whispered vowels and the lengthened vowels would have been missed.

I'm surprised it was taken seriously for a couple of pages.

"頭が悪い" literaly means "poor mind", but in all the Japanese ways to say "poor mind", "頭が悪い" would be the worst offensive expression. "intellectualy inferior" "handicaped brain", something like those.

When used on the web, it appearently goes beyond a joke.

Oh okay, like the word "retard" in colloquial English.
