Like in the zebra herd, the have nots are like the feeble and the week, easy pickings for the hunt of fresh, tangy Asian meet. Senior Asian correspondent Q–Pounder reports from the field:
The Economist: Thousands are flocking to watch "Lucky", a timid dolphin, fail to perform tricks at Tokyo's Aqua Stadium. He's the latest creature to win national affection for being a loser, part of a grand tradition of noble animal failures that includes a racehorse with the world's longest-ever losing streak. In a society that is steadily dividing into "haves" and "have-nots", those who see themselves in the latter category have seized upon animals such as Lucky as mascots. The more tricks the hapless dolphin fails to perform, and the less gracefully he jumps, the more his reputation grows as a talisman of the downtrodden.I'm not gonna stoop to stating the obvious. Wait. Okay. I will. It's high time for Mr. Nineteen's return to Tokyo. Get your ass to Aqua Stadium. Don't come back until we can call you Mr. Forty-three. Until then, may the force and the favor of fat lolita-goth ass be with you.
