At Shinjuku I found this weird ad.
Basically it says "a kind face is a lie!!" it just tries to prevent people about swindlers, robbers, psychos or any kind of evil guy that try to approach us with a kind and polite behavior.
Because Japan is such a secure country and specially Tokyo is an amazing city where 99% of the streets are safe at any time, people is naive to prevent danger.
Because of this, funny ads could be found in the street to advice, naive pedestrians, about the danger of evil guys.
Anyway the ad is pretty funny, in Japanese it's a soo kawaii ad ^^;

I'd definitely be cautious if I came upon a guy who has a hyena head for a neck. ^^'

In Hawaii sometimes Japanese girls get taken advantage of because they are kind of naive. Or are they? I see them handling money around in public but I won't say anything because of something like the poster above. I have good intentions but they may take it the wrong way. What a sad world if we can't be kind to one another.

I have always found that poster so… funny? I live next to a park so they have plenty of the sorts to tell kids, basically, that all gentle adults are so because they intend harm or so. Or that is what I tell my Japanese friends they read like, and they always answer that my mind is sick. They had apparently never read such a thing in them.

Absurd enough. Being polite can sometimes become deadly, even it doesn't matter if a stolen object of your love can send you directly to tha e-chair
