Senseiman, thanks for providing such a sensible, fair minded opinion.

I like how in Japan, the "pranksters" are always able to explain why they do things like this, even though the two aren't related in any way. In the U.S. it takes years of therapy and usually gets blamed on parenting issues. If you hate your job, wouldn't it be more connected & mentally satisfying to pull a "prank" on the people you work with?

"Yuuda had made a written statement to police promising that he would no longer become violent."
I didn't realize that after committing a crime, all you needed to do was promise you wouldn't do it again. I'm off to steal a car. Don't worry, it's just this one time. I promise I'll never do it again after this.

We must see something different when we look at 17 year olds, because to me, they look like children. They're not as young as other children, but being attracted to them is kind of gross. I mean, what's the cut-off age for pedophilia? Menstruation?

The only movie I've ever seen anyone walk out on was District 9. 12 old people and couples left within the first 30 minutes. I think they just didn't know what they were in for.

Anyone know where I can see more pics of this event? Possible nationalistic narcissism aside, I just like looking at pictures of pretty ladies in kimono.

What a dick. This guy is a dick, straight up. His motivations don't really matter. If he were white & Christian, he'd still be a dick. If you've got your own problems, take yourself out. Don't take 13 other people with lives and families with you. So selfish.

How is this any different than the old men who routinely pee on the side of the street in broad daylight without even bothering to go behind a bush?

nandakandamanda, that "best at wearing earrings" or whatever award is arguably more pointless. Someone should start keeping a list of all these ridiculous awards that Japanese companies give out. Now THAT would be worth reading, for comedic value alone.

Somehow, being naked never makes me feel cooler. Just stickier. I like a layer of cotton Pj's or something-- for the separation of Church & State and all that.

They offer international shipping now. The shipping costs are ridiculous (as expected) but I wonder if that's driving sales?

This was written by that white guy that goes everywhere in a poorly-made Dragon Ball costume. You know the guy. He shows up in random photos all the time. I'm always like, "Oh. It's that guy. If he's going to wear that thing EVERYWHERE why not get a better quality one?"
Consider the source.

Well.. GOD. How far did the ball make it? As a woman, I have no problem with her dressing like that IF she could actually throw a pitch and not make us look stupid. Judging by the angle of her arm in that picture, I'm guessing she can't.

"Tokyo is the hottest city for food lovers..." I think they should have inserted the word "rich" in front of "food lovers." There may be a ton of innovative restaurants in Tokyo, but I'll be damned if I could ever afford to eat in any of them.
Posted in: Tokyo is the best food city hands down. That's where chefs are going for innovations. There's also a history of food traditions. They are so far ahead of us.

Wow. I guess I'm pretty stupid because all this time I thought, "There must be something special about their eggs-- like they're so organic, cage-free, and fresh that refrigeration isn't necessary. When really, they're just as dangerous. To add to the danger, when I was in Japan I ate them raw much more often than in the US. I feel like an idiot!

What a jerk. HE wanted to die, so he thought the best way was to kill someone else and get the death penalty. I can't STAND it.

What you SHOULD all be talking about is vegetables in the drinks; Carrots Sweat, Golden-Ratio blend, and Fully-Ripe Paprika? Blech.
