In the mall, Mr Key gets a mixed reaction. The usual adoring punters, especially women, are photographed with him and often get a rub on the back in return as they pose for the camera.
I can’t pinpoint why this is setting off my vom reflex. The awkward/inappropriate touching angle? The fact it’s spun as positive? The extra-rich saroma of Eau de Smile&Wave?

Who rubs a stranger on the back?? What does he think it means??
He’s just a weird dude in so many ways.
I was instantly reminded of George W’s intensely creepy surprise-shoulder-rub on Angela Merkel.
I wouldn’t have even done that before I became properly socialised…
It’s just weird, and something that seems creepy to do to a stranger.
Have you seen the unfortunate photo of JK kissing some woman’s chin?
It’s here for me as one of the side bar pics:
