Honestly, the only thing I look for when I’m watching or reading the news is the Who, the What, the Where, the When, and the How. Everything else is just fluff and entertainment for individuals with serious self-validation issues. I mean seriously, do we really need to hear someone mirroring…

Next thing you know, they'll start cutting the education budget even further, citing a lack of evidence in "how education will contribute to the daily lives of people."

This was a stupid, stupid, stupid decision by Hatoyama's government.

gogogo,

Hmmm... You must be right. My Japanese co-workers, Japanese students, and Japanese wife must all be simply wrong, and are mistakenly finding the Softbank White Family commercials to be amusing. I suppose the All Japan Radio and Television Commercial Federation was wrong, too, when it mistakenly found the commercials…

Yeah, the Pocky commercials can be annoying. Personally, I have a special hatred reserved for those ridiculous Watering Kiss candy commercials with the young 20-something slobering all over herself while trying to talk tough with one of the aformentioned candies in her mouth.

What in the world would possess someone to decide to kill their own child because of debt -- and relatively minor debt at that? So incredibly selfish and unfair to the child.

I don't believe this was a business trip. It…

"Foreigners think Japanese shows and CM's are really creative and funny but fail to realize that Japanese are actually trying to make serious shows and CM's"

Ummmmm... No.

The Softbank commercials are actually pretty creative and pretty funny. As they were intended to be. Adding Tarantino to the mix should…

A Japanese Political Truism: Ichiro Ozawa was, is, and mostly likely will forever be an ass.

His comments on religion simply confirm this.

The police in Shimane Prefecture are taking this quite seriously and have mobilized all available resources to find the murderer(s). And well they should. This was an absolutely unfathomable crime, both in its senselessness and brutality. No one deserves to die the way Miyako Hiraoka did -- except perhaps, ironically,…

northlondon,

"It is amazing how many people will argue on here, yet have such little knowledge of what happened in this case, blah blah blah . . . "

Oh, I'm sorry. Were you saying something?

"Watching this live 'media fest' on TV right now, it reminds me of something out of Natural Born Killers. Sick society indeed."

And if no one had shown up to document Ishihashi's capture, you can be certain of a flurry of accusations of racism and Japanese not considering the murder…
