Unsafe toys...tainted food...poisoned childrens milk...are we now supposed to trust a Chinese built car??? No way. I'll stick with American trucks, German sport cars and Italian motorcycles, thank you.

Absolutley these Americans will be used as pawns for the NK cause. Fact is they are already considered guilty and convicted in the minds of the NK courts, even though the "mock" trial will start next month. What a joke. Time to shut NK off from the world. Forever.

Dissing is fun, isn't it. Utada is extremely talented and possibly the smartest of all the j-pop female singers today. I am a fan with 20 years playing in, recording and managing rock bands...hardly the nerdy white boy stereotype. Why rip into her for having a cold, when most the…

As fond as Kiyoshiro was of a crowd, this mass showing of affection and respect would have no doubt humbled him. A perfect farewell to a true rock 'n roll original. Young musicians take note and learn from him. RIP.

Chicago? Sorry, any other city in the US maybe, but Chicago is the one city I just can't get behind in hosting the Olympics.

Kim must be hungry for some corn fed Nebraska beef or needs parts for his Harley Davidson...he always makes this "tough talk" when he needs something personally. And really, is dissing the Russian envoy really a good move? No more dialog. Shut NK off from the world.

Yes, I believe Japan still uses hanging for their executions.

Again, another actor assuming they have a grasp on reality when they are, again, just acting. It's like sitting in the last row of a 747 and claiming to have a new perspective on how to fly a plane...

A friend of mine flew in to Narita two days ago. He said a guy two rows ahead of him was sweating and registerd "hot" on the tempurature gauge. He was asked if he felt ill, and he said no. They took his word and let him off the plane,…

Good question. Apart from modeling, she's published her own photobooks and a CD...which was sub-par, but still I'm sure a record deal with any 'name' recognition will come with a large sum up-front. I think she's doing just fine...!

I'll give her some credit. She was a no-name car model from Las Vegas who ventured to Japan and has done rather well herself on looks alone. We can joke, but she's had her 15 minutes of fame and took it to the Bank. So, yeah, congrats!
