Kids love pachi/slots in Japan. Most game arcades have them for the whole family.

After the 2010 winter Olympics, I watched a TBS program and Beat Takashi was the guest. TBS had a cardboard cutout of Asada San doing the move where she would grab her skate from behind, holding the skate. Kind of like doing the splits on one skate. Anyway, This cutout was near Beat. He grabbed it and licked it couple of times. Crazy indeed.

“The lion’s share of the credit should go to manager Zac (Zaccheroni), as he let the team lose by 1-0,” So now J-politicians admit that it's okay to fraud the fans. Who else was in on this gift to the NKoreans? The players? The coaching staff? Ha If you watched the game, the Japanese played scared. They heard footsteps as soon as they stepped off the airplane. I can't blame them for playing scared though. The 1-0 result seems about right and they really shouldn't hang their heads considering who and where they were playing. Why not just forfeit or play at a neutral location?

Two years ago, around Yasukuni time, I watched a program on TBS(at least I think it was TBS). It was a debate between David Spector and a couple of right-wingers over a book called The Rape of Nanking. Spector pretty much had his lunch eaten by the panel at the debate. Everyone at the studio concluded that the right-wingers were correct in their assertion that this book was total fabrication. Spector caved at the end of the program and agreed with them also. I think Japan has a long ways to go before it comes to terms with the destruction it caused during that time.

I'm slightly disappointed Pongsaklek didn't get the KnockOut over Japan's favorite boxer. Koki shouldn't hang his head though, he went 12 rounds with the best flyweight of all time.
On a slighlty different note, How about having your new champion as a green hair, cross-dresser...like K-1 max has now. WOW

The couple took video of the incident. The mother's voice on video is enough to bury her for more then 10 years... Sad that she'll get anything less than life.

Everyone loves a good story, and you have to give the kid his due, but winning the Masters is not in his future. But good luck anyway.

Some of these pachinko/slots machine are tops in technology and the Japanese companies that make them are raking in the money.
I would guess the craziest thing about pachinko is what you are able to win. Most of these parlors will only have a couple of jackpots worth up to 30 mon ($3000). After sitting all day and night, most people would be happy to take home a profit of 1 mon ($100).
Gotta laugh at "profits going to Korea". LOL

Boohoo. What a bunch of whiners. Asa wasn't programmed by Sanyo. I hope Asa wins every Basho this year and when he receives the emperors cup from hopefully Aso, he dumps it on his head.

Hey NL, I agree 100% about Fudoh... she seems not to mind the fanatical, 'we want kawaii' J-media ignoring her. But Ishikawa has one victory on the JPGA at the age of 15. Don't hate the player...hate the game.

Japanese "food culture" has already destroyed the waters around Japan.
They abuse the waters so much that the only things being fished out are huge jellyfish...can't eat those. Then, go into international waters to where they can cut off the whales, before the whales can bypass Japans depeleted waters.

I wonder how much money the guy spent on the game? By going to the police, he seems to want some type of reimbursement.

Palin is just the doll that the republicans trot out to ignite the crowd. But when it comes to decisions that affect the campaign, she is not in the loop. She can't talk to the media and her own camp does not trust what she will say next. Her job is just to stand there, look pretty, but leave the decisions up to the adults who know better. I find it insulting, that the person who is running for the position of the second highest office in the land is treated like an idiot. This does not instills a lot of trust for the McCain/Palin ticket.
