I don't think I can sit back and relax in something this expensive. I'll be worrying about how I will be able to pay the credit card I used to pay for it.

Now, if the Norwegians could fit this kind of seat on to airplanes, I would be happy, but to pay over 200,000 yen and it has no massager, rub down, foot warmer etc..these Norwegians must be smoking some good stuff!

On sale from Sep 1 - tell us, where won't we be buying it from?

I can buy a flash new computer that does all sorts of amazing things for less than 100,000 yen, and you want me to pay 239,000 yen for a "solid backrest"? Ahahahahahaha!
