TOKYO —

Comedian Yoshio Kojima, 27, appeared this week at a promotional event for the new film “Snake and Pierced Earring,” together with a real python in Tokyo. The story is about a young woman (Yuriko Yoshitaka, 27,) who decides to change her life by getting a snake tattoo and her tongue pierced.

Kojima said of the python around him: “I feel like a frog.” The film will be released on Saturday.

    Not bad looking, even with the tattoos. The lady looks good too.

    The story is about a young woman (Yuriko Yoshitaka, 27,) who decides to change her life by getting a snake tattoo and her tongue pierced.

    bet she slots her cog into the machine by the final scene though, after just the right amount of rebellion to appeal to all demographics.

    “Snake and Pierced Earring” Brilliant stuff here still being made by the Japanese film industry

    Don't be silly, Notginger. You make him sound like some sinister child predator. He's just an unfunny comedian trying to extend his life in the limelight as long as he can. If he dressed normally he'd be back in the gutter by lunchtime.

    "Yuriko Yoshitaka keeps a wary eye on Yoshio Kojima’s python."

    If he keeps wearing those Speedos, she has no other option.

    "I saw him once in a family home playing with the daughters, both under ten, in his jockeys"

    Oh, the horror!

    What the daughters were doing in his jockeys, I'll never know.
