So, let me get this straight: Jero comes up with an album as a tribute to a guy he never even met because the guy died when Jero was just a kid and not even in Japan, and then he does a cover on one of the composer's songs and…

And the WTF award goes to... (drumroll)... the Blind-As-A-Bat-But-Still-Looking-Cool Competition!!!

Best Dressed Eyes? What is that? My eyes feel so naked and embarrassed right now...

While I agree that child-abusers are a chronic disease of our society (maybe victims of it, maybe the cause... that's still debatable) and, if I ever catch a pedophile, I would kick him in the nuts for about half an hour just for the fun of it, here's a selfish…

113... I guess that means he's been old for about half his life... not sure how many people would envy that.

Oh my God, we have been poisoned with Chinese tainted apple juice!

Seriously though, if the owner is telling the truth about not being able to make a profit if they kept using only home-grown apples, it makes one wonder what "solution" the competition came up with...

Hey, the answer is simple: just pass a law that says kids should not play in their homes' gardens without wearing adequate protective suits and helmets! There ya go, problem solved!

I understand suicide caused by a psychological state of depression, or by a relationship gone bad, or something similar. But suicide caused by economical difficulties... I don't know, but it just sounds like cowardice to me. Taking the easy way out, basically... 'cuz figuring out the problem and working your…

Sorry if I seem cynical, but the "recent spate of random stabbings" in Japan is a fad. Same as the family-member murdering/dismembering fad more than one year ago, or the suicide/neighbor homicide by hydrogen sulfide fad a few months ago (not sure that one's completely over, though). As such, it…

Sabinuki - great post, didn't see that one coming!

On a different note, I may seem a bit weird for noticing this, but the picture was taken all wrong! Most of it is out of focus. Sure, there are cases when you want to single out some object in a…

The guy sounds just like the Virginia Tech murderer last year... a loner with severe sociopathic tendencies who craves for attention... any attention.
