Sales of the iPhone are not included in the survey.

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…

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

Kenchan, you have to love censors with guns, riddling posters with bullets.

the defendant had shown no remorse and had offered no apology

Well, that's hardly surprising, since he claims his innocence. What did they expect him to say - 'I didn't do it, but I'm deeply sorry for my actions?'

It's very hard to judge from so little information contained…

What would he have done if a cat ran out onto the tracks?

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…

nothing surprising if you think of 32,000+ suicides a year in Japan.

I'd consider it if the numbers were the other way round. A 29.8 inch TV for 18,500 yen.

Badsey, as yet, I haven't seen a 20" screen sporting 1080 resolution.

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…
