I'm surprised they didn't shoot the tv when they first saw it. tehe. Cops are stupid everywhere. Reminds me of that Sarah Silverman quip:
Woman gets pulled over by a cop.
Officer: Do you know why I stopped you today?
SS: Because you got straight C's in highschool?

It strikes me that Japan has always been a great place to perpetrate a crime. You could truly sell ice cubes to these Eskimos because the people by and large just accept everything at face value. A nation this gullible deserves to get scammed. I think they are just lucky that the language barrier keeps a lot of the snake oil salesmen out. If Japanese were as prominent around the world as English, the nation's coffers would have never been built and then drained as they have been. They probably would have sold the archipelago for a bag of beans following WWII, because the beans would have been "magic beans". Hmmmm... magic beans.

Thank gods that gambling is illegal in Japan or we would see a lot more of this type of thing.

Kally has the mentality. I'm sure you and the son could go bowling and have a great time talking about parenting. I too would like to punch this little sh!t in the mouth.

Such needy men in Japan. It all too often seems that they need their girlfriend, lover, momma or their agent to take care of them. Ridiculous. Man up Japan. Learn to take care of your own emotional and physical needs like the ladies seem to be doing, however slowly.

We must have experienced different Japans. Never seen a robot in anyone's home that was considered a living thing. Never really seen any robots in Japanese families.

For all you nay sayers... try replacing the word "drugs" with "alcohol" and you sound like a bible thumper of the 20s. Get off your high horses and look at the problems criminalizing substances creates.
Let's try it: Smartacus wrote: But if ALCOHOL were legal, how would (IT) be distributed? Would there be neighborhood distribution points, where "customers" would drop by as they might for a (SODA) after work at the local ? What ALCOHOL would be sold there? What would be the hours of business? I can't imagine too many neighborhoods welcoming such establishments.
Had to add a few other changes there but my point remains. And AK, it is the criminalization that creates drug lords and cartels. When it is a legal substance we call those drug lords and cartels the government. Have some respect!
It is thinking like many of the above that has created the problem.

While this guy is an idiot, I agree with ThonTaddeo. It wasn't his fault she was given an extended sentence. It's the Junta's fault. Bunch of freaks. America needs to go in full force and change that regime, as they've been so good at recently. Free Burma Now!

Jebus that is crazy. You can't walk around a neighbourhood at 5 pm anymore? Stupid cops should just leave him (an anyone walking around neighbourhoods looking at houses at 5pm) alone.

I just hope he had cable TV. No point killing over what's on the regular channels you get. Just senseless.

I wonder if the cops chocked this one up as a job well done. The DID catch a drunk driver... even if he was in one of their own cars.

One, with pornography in the state that it's in in Japan, I'm surprised they didn't believe the explanation that it was a movie.
Two, does anyone know if Japan has a sex offender list that gets published in the community every now and again so that people know where people on the list may live? If not, they need one. I imagine he would have only gotten a few weeks to a year or two if he had only been caught confining her. I for one would like to know where the sex offenders in my community live so I could make sure I keep far away. Mind you, a list of sex offenders in Japan would look more like a phone book than anything else.
