A recent photo series has come to light which highlights the notorious street scene of St. Mary Street in Wales. Taken in the years between 2005 and 2008, the series aims to capture the Welsh at their finest.















































Via Kapu.
While no nationality has exclusive dominion over debauched displays of fighting, drunkenness and urination in public, the Welsh revelers shown here certainly seem to lead the world in such depraved displays…
and THIS is why I hate my own country
There's nothing 'great' about Great Britain any more
(more so since the loli/extreme pr0n-ban)
I'd also say that there is little or no national sense of pride and that the 'original' British culture, or relatively native culture is all but gone due to immigration and has now become something... else.
Social collapse at its finenst. We have here, ladies and gentlemen, the after-effects of industrial decline and unemployment. I hearby demand that Wales be fully "devolved" such that they no longer have a vote in Westminster. That should get rid of loads of Labour voters.
LOL'd at first ("I'm gonna f*cking KILL you!") and fourth pics; the rest were mostly sad.
I'm amazed at how comfortable people seemed to be sitting or lying in those streets; they were so gross, I'd not even want to WALK on them.
It makes me glad I don't drink (nor hang out with others when they're drinking).
lol, I was just researching my welsh heritage today...
*sniffles* I'm soo proud
It appears that drivers know better that to attempt to use this street.
And really, who HASN'T wanted to crawl on their hands and knees on a public thoroughfare?... such joie de vie!
THAT IS SICK!!! REALLY SICK...
What are they eating?
Ah, this fills me with such nostalgia.... Reminds of the good ole days.
looks bad
I love my continent... i really do. >_>
that has to be the greatest collection of pics ever.
I am disappointed of Sankaku Complex
I assume that this site is for to talk about anime, eroge, japan, etc ... not to talk about the defects from other countries. I was quite upset when I saw the pictures, and discomfort became more angry when I saw offensive comments to a nation mereze respect. Many people who commented here said things that offended or simply criticized the United Kingdom. It was then that I thought
WHY NOT LOOK UP as deeply into society of his own country before criticizing others?
you knew that your country may have worst defects?
I am really upset.
If you want to laugh at another country, laught first of your country (I live in Venezuela), but I have great respect for the developed nations.
Before ending (even if I lack a lot to write but I will summarize) I want replies of the following questions :
What is more pathetic?
The person which collected and published the photos, or people who laugh at the faults of other societies as a circus?
Instead of laughing (I will not generalize), you should make an effort to improve society on your country.
I apologize for my english (I know that it's isn't good, but I hope that you know how I feeling).
Isn't my intention to offend anyone, I just want to say what I think and feel.
NOTE: In comparation with my country, Venezuela it's a HOLY SHIT!!!...idiot president.....rotten society....etc
The intent is to treat a variety of nations critically. Singling out or excluding a particular one is not really part of this...
This site is aimed primarily at misanthropic weeaboo who get off on judging others and consider themselves intellectually superior and cultured despite the fact that they consider it okay to be prejudiced against others. The truth is that many of the commenters, even the ones who spew scathing words of hate against the Welsh, secretly envy some of the people in the article (not all of them mind you, but some) because they are having fun. We see people going out with their friends, drinking, enjoying life, urinating in alleyways, etc. Most of the commentors here don't have many friends. They have their own insecurities and complexes that they try to hide by acting superior to others. I would even say that the commentors here are of the same caliber of man as the people in this gallery. I'm sure that the monday after, when they where sobered up most of them went to work, or to school, and contributed to society. Notice that they are all young people, I'm sure that in a few years these people will be more mature and their priorities would shift to that of supporting their families or advancing their careers. One can only be young once after all. What many of these comentors don't understand is that these young Welsh men are not much different than them, they just spend their weekends getting shit-faced drunk and enjoying life, as opposed to jacking off to Hentai and posting on the internet their opinion that all Welsh, Chinese and Korean people are subhuman and deserve death.
tl;dr, this is a site for misanthropic assholes by misanthropic assholes, a veritable weeaboo circle jerk.
You do the exact same thing, which makes you a hypocrite. Feeling superior is an important source for the feeling of self-worth.
Well, I figure that if someone reads this message and is in same way, affected by it, to the effect that that might be less critical of others, maybe stereotype people less and realize that that these people are not much different from them, then I have accomplished something. If some of the people here can take a good hard look at themselves and realize that there is nothing to be gained by hating on others and pretending to be superior (As if they are fooling anyone), then I have accomplished something. Now, obviously most of you people don't give a shit about respect, and tact and things like that. In fact you are probably all laughing and calling me a newfag, or a moralfag, perhaps trying to find my myspace page so you can vandalize it or something. But, deep in your hearts you know, that you are cold empty soulless people, desperately searching for a meaning in a world that you have long since given up on. You are desperate and lonely and praying that you may someday find what it is that your lives are missing. perhaps I can lead people one step closer to finding that the answer is love. Perhaps one of you might decide in the future, that hating on people is kinda lame and maybe one should tone it down a bit (instead of saying that the Welsh are subhuman creatures that are on a level lower than animals, why not just say that they are dumbasses?). Maybe, just maybe, somebody on this site will come to realize that what they are doing wrong in life and how to change direction, and to treat others with respect and understanding, now for most of you it's hopeless, but not for all.
By wasting your time on posting at "a veritable weeaboo circle jerk".
Instead of, you know, IGNORING IT. Like any reasonable person would do.
Oh wait, it's the internet.
*lowers his rather lofty expectations a lot*
And how do I do the exact same thing?
You've got the point, but it could be a bit extreme...anyway, agree.
Just liek downtown Reykjavík on a lazy tuesday night
Looks rather tame. You should see the Folsom Street Fair in San Fransisco.

*shudder*
*mega shudder* i dont know why i clicked on that link *nightmares*
(I have nothing against those kinds of people, one of my friend's is one)
The Welsh look like some fun people.
Охохо! Англичашки такие смишные, даже в России самые аморальные бомжи себя так не ведут.
Damn, I can't remember anything of that mate...
that's a real pee... LOL
This happens when a human gets the same number of brain cells as a pig
I live in Mexico, and here, you *do not* see such bullshit happening on the streets. Hell, even drinking in the street is illegal and grounds for a one-night detention. Everything nasty we do, we do it inside the house or place where we're partying.
This would be awesome if there were some hot girls like in a springbreak at Cancún... but instead, they're doing it with fat pigs, thus pushing it to wrong in so many levels of wrong...
Cripes.
Britain's equivalent of jersey shore.
That guy eating right next to the one pissing...
Whut.
im loling at how people can be so dumb. go watch animu you faggots...
......This alost makes me ashamed to be british......ALMOST
I live in Uruguay (South america) and this is really amazing! In my whole life I have always think that the "First World" was a clean place with a few idiots, but that is just terrible look a that is pure garbage is incredible really, Even I live in the "Third World" and there is nothing of that in my city!
Major UK cities are cleaned overnight, so this type of crazy mess the drunkards make tends to all be gone by the morning - you can rest easy that First World countries are actually cleaner than Third World ones. *rolls eyes*
I live in London and I've never seen this type of behaviour personally, but I know it goes on. It depends where you spend your time; just like OMG REVELATION - every developed nation in the world! All the people commenting that this kind of thing doesn't happen in their country; sorry to burst your bubble but I can almost guarantee it does; just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. So you can all stop feeling so smug and superior now.
Alcoholism is a problem here, but every nation has it's issues. When you sort your own shit out, then you can laugh at others. In the mean time, anyone who looks at these pictures and feels the need to post comments like 'lolol look at the UK; how fucked up are they! My country isn't like that at all!' are ignorant, blinkered hypocrites.
forget the drunk people, what about that street. it's filthy. don't they have council workers or criminals on community service? the tip on the outskirts of my town looks cleaner than that.
imagine this with snow. that's the bar scene in CANADA for the better of it.
obvious these people have never seen Bourbon St.
this place is weak in comparison and that's on a normal day/night. take all the usual crap and quad it for mardigras
yeah all us english r a bunch of piss fucks!
n u dont hav to be 21 to drink gotta love the uk!
LOL
Westerns and Easterns are the same race. HOMO SAPIENS >.<
lol british,looks like one of those 3rd world countrys XD
That's because it IS a 3rd world country. Believe me, I know because I live here... not that I'm proud to say it!
Whoa.... They Fucked Up..
haahhhahah
Artefact im assuming you come from england right?
Artifact is blatantly an American. We Brits are a little self-hating, but this guy takes it to a whole new level.
This pretty much looks like any City Centre round England / UK on a Friday or Saturday Night.
I'm not much for the Club Scene (Social Leper), but one night in my local Chicago's pretty much showed me all I needed to see of this sort of thing.
There has been a bit of a clampdown on this in some towns, but this all looks pretty familiar.
But the prices for alcohol is still pretty cheap all round and that is what draws them in really. Have to say Leeds isn't too bad, neither Wakefield. But when I went to Bradford it was equivelant to this lol..ah rave parties. Though Leeds has been slipping lately, wonder if that's because more drinkers are flocking there or the police have been slack, or not enough of police XD.
Cheap Universites + Student Loans + Cheap Alcohol (discounted to attract students) = Drunken Madness
Unlike other hypersensitive nationalists, I tend to take "rowdy" reportings of people from my ethnicity with a pinch of salt and accept that every nation/people has their closet skeletons, though I must admit I had my doubts when Arte seemed to be consistently posting rowdiness concerning "some nations", but I thought it best to keep these to myself, as it could just be me being biased.
So fair game Arte in broadening your coverage of rowdiness everywhere, and keep up the good work, so that no one may ever accuse you of discriminating any particular nationality again.
(Just to be safe, I'd like to add NO SARCASM WAS INTENDED in this message. I meant exactly what I said in my compliment. )
I wonder what's the occasion for such a party? Footy or rugby near the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff?
I suspect alien involvement. Did nobody else spot the parked Torchwood Land Rover in http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/gallery/cardiff_wales/cardiff051.jpg?
Sure you may be doing your best to not be biased by classifying all those articles about other countries as showing "rowdiness", but in effect you're ignoring the difference in the levity of an article about drunks compared to ones about executions or sex slaves.
That is not to say I'd be fine with those types of articles if there were more about domestic spying in the UK or death penalty in the US. I just think that any articles like those don't really have a place in a site about anime/mange/H/games/Japan.
There are no executions in the UK to cover. We did cover one of their more impressive rapists recently...
