Plastic surgeries should be forbidden except for victims of accidents and diseases

Come off it! If it's made illegal, the whole Japanese tarento industry would collapse. We'd be left with the likes of Harisenbon and Mitsuura Yasuko.

The Japanese men seem to do well....as long as the other skaters are mediocre. Add top skaters into the equation (like Plushenko, Joubert, Weir, etc) and they don't do that well.

I now wonder whether Mao can actually make it to the Olympics. A second and fifth placing in her…
