Hayao Miyazaki may make pretty flicks with heart-warming and trendy enviro-messages, but he’s the equivalent of that crotchety old man on your street that thinks that crazy rock ‘n’ roll music is destroying the country’s youth. Miyazaki went full Luddite in an interview regarding the iPad (which this post was written on…)

“For me, there is no feeling of admiration or no excitement whatsoever,” Miyazaki said about the iPad. “It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.”

Hayao, if that finger flicking is your idea of spanking it, I thing I’ve figured out why you’re so bloody touchy…
