Same with me, except it's Kanagawa, not Gunma.  Hell, I've even got the 
two kids with both Japanese and English names - though in my kids' case 
the order is reversed and their Japanese names are their middle names.

It's bad enough having to worry about being treated like a sideshow 
attraction by Japanese because I sometimes speak to my kids in English 
in public, now it seems I have to take care not to tread on poor 
O'Neill's feelings.

Luckily I was arrogant long before I developed any proficiency in 
Japanese, and so this article does not apply to me.

BTW, Brett, has your hatred for Kevin grown so much that you scour the 
internet for material on him, or did you just happen to stumble on that 
article while pretending to work?
