English the official second language of Japan

As for written English I thought it already is. Engrish. ;)
Choose from the following speaking styles: Hawaii's pidgin English, LA , NY, Texas
Since Japanese people love Hawaii wouldn't it be kewl for the official speaking style to be pidgin. I would like to see Japanese people greeting each other by bowing and then w/ a shaka saying "Eh braddah, how u? You like go grind some Yoshinoya?" Nobody else in the world would understand them ... again. But, it would probably increase tourist traffic to Hawaii. hmmmm. Maybe that's what the state of Hawaii should do. Convince Japan to adopt Pidgin English!

Found through Joi's blog re: Gen's post.
Link to Straight-talking Japanese
And what does my post have to do with the article? It's my wierd side thread.
