First stupid; here goes nothing.
In eikaiwa, a community for English teachers living in Japan, someone makes a post about canned tuna that turned out to be "brown and weird." The poster wants to know if this is normal or if she got a bad batch, and while she does state "This country is weird. lol. ^_^;" that's not the stupid. (I don't think anybody can disagree with the weirdness of Japan.)
The stupid comes in the first comment, where rubyhatchet states: I avoid most Japanese products... despite what Japanese people might think, they're just as nasty as some American foods. At least in America, I know what the heck I'm eating.
So she chose to pick up and move to a country with a rich, fascinating and diverse cuisine-- but she subsists on, what, imported corn flakes and Campbell's Soup because Japanese food is "nasty" (and the Japanese are fools for eating it!). Also because it's too much trouble to learn a little of the language so she can find out "what the heck she's eating."
