Got to start my own group and make millions!
Go to the breach here in Okinawa and say you, you and you. I'm making a group call NTBB and I will make you famous.
After the squeals die down, work will begin.
BTW, NTBB (No Talent Beach Babes) will look better that this bunch.

Maybe the big polaroid camera on his foot gave him away.
No it was the puzzzzzaaa sound the big polaroid camera made as the snapshot came out that gave him away. Should have used silent film.

"but people will continue to buy cheaper superior Chinese products".
Cheaper yes, superior? Name one thing superior other than "ten thousand years noodle" (noodles made from fish meat). Sweet!

"Definitely not condoning what he did, but basically i think he just got overburdened and snapped. Seems this guy had to take care of his mom basically 24/7"
Call it over overburdened all you want. I've had times when someone "overburdened" me and I wanted to smash in their face also, but you know common sense and the law keep me from doing things I would regret.
He could have done a number of things to not deal with mom any longer. Walked away, put her in a home, called the cops and said an old lady needs help and I ain't doing it any longer.
But the one thing you would not be calling it now, that would be murder. And as CrazyJoe just pointed out, there is more to the story. She was sleeping.

It was prompted by the Seoul government’s “sinister intention” to see its neighbor’s system collapse.
Are you sure it's not the knucklehead who is running the country who is trying to collapse the system?

The body of a woman believed to be in her 30s was recovered from a swelling river in Tokushima.
Why? Why do people think that during a big storm of any kind, it's a good idea to be near a river, lake, ocean or any other fast moving water? Every damn time there is a typhoon, someone in the Mainland dies doing stupid crap.
If not drowning, then old Mr. Taro just had to go out and cover his tomato plants and gets hit in the head with flying sheet metal that the neighbor had stacked against the house.
You almost never hear something like this in Okinawa. Not that it could not or has never happened.

"Yes, Scrote, they used a piece of A4, ruled paper, and drew stick men and a rudimentary map of the plant, with squiggly marks representing a wave".
Wrong! Was a bar napkin and drew stick men and a rudimentary map of the plant, with squiggly marks representing a wave that was smudged when they sat their whiskey glass down.
