They hoped it would mend his ways, but he already came to a sticky end. He deserves a stiff sentence, but I'm afraid his marriage will fall apart. Let's hope this lesson holds fast for all of us.

A similar ban in my country resulted in 'alcohol-free' vodka ads. Wink wink.

societymike,
er, no. Unless in experienced hands the treatment can be extremely painful and I'm not into S/M. Not to mention I can't stand high pitched giggling.

This is outrageous, those 'ear-cleaning' salons. Who pays for that? Maybe I'm a bit DIY man, but I can clean my own ears, massage my thighs and even give myself a nice rejuvenation treatment in the comfort of my house.

But how about sales of Sony cellphones which double as Walkmans? Were they included in the survey? I doubt it, so it's fair.

Should be sold in set with a head to toe burka to enter the bathroom incognito. I heard there's gonna be a heavy duty 'Niagara roar' version for those pesky number twos.
Japan is a weird country. Women can't be even heard peeing, but it's perfectly OK to build facilities for men so you have to pee in the full view of any passers-by while the cleaning lady is busy with the next urinal while you're trying to shake off the last drops. I just hope the makers of eco-otome can come up with an equally eco-friendly invisibility cloaca cloaks.

'Definately' dysgraphia, commonly 'nown' as dylexia. And I don't mean on Tarantino's part.

Exactly, he wouldn't have time to swerve, or as the last resort, make the train jump over the poor kitty.
If he had really put anyone's life at risk he should lose his job quicker than you can say 'click'. But while he's paid to stare ahead and not ogle attractive passengers I bet there are long stretches which don't demand his full undivided attention.

It doesn't mean they didn't know who he was. He could've been a lookalike.

BobbieWickham, actually if you went to trouble of looking it up for yourself, you'd see that the 6 million is a rounded up number. There are various estimates of the actual death toll ranging from 5.1 to 5.95 million Jews, but with the consensus edging towards 6 million. It's not set in stone, as you suggest. Nobody can give you the exact number but a nice round 6 is easier to remember than 5.95, isn't it?
Same with the holocaust denial business. Toben was sentenced for breaching a court order to refrain from publishing material which "vilifies Jewish people" namely implying Jewish people offended by Holocaust denial were of "limited intelligence", but if you instead simply imply he was jailed for holocaust denial you can hear people crying out for censoring freedom of speech.
And in Germany he is wanted not for denying holocaust but for "racial and xenophobic crimes" and was in the past jailed for "defaming the dead".

Tknoid2, It can express emotions, but it doesn't have them. A big difference
Disillusioned, 'express', 'simulate' - same difference. What's the goal? People are big on reading expressions. Those who can't read faces are seriously handicapped. Think of this robot not in terms of mood rings, but of emoticons you put in your email ;)
