Dude, that made me laugh ten times more than your entertaining ditty.
On a side note, why does it mention her as his "wife" and then mention an impending wedding ceremony? Aren't you called a "wife" after a ceremony?

Wait a sec, he stabbed her, she died, and he is arrested for "ATTEMPTED" murder? WTF?
On a second note, I find it a tad bit unsettling that when you have a bleeding woman in your Taxi, the best choice would be to RUN to a nearby police box, RUN BACK with the cops, so they can check the still bleeding to death woman and decide whether or not she needs an ambulance. Taxi's have radios, right?

This article only alluded to the most widely loved thing about Kirk. Dude got laid in almost every episode, to almost every kind of alien.
(You see that's why they had those underage girls standing in front of the new star trek cast, the alien sex connection.)

Can you get odds anywhere on this? you can on elections in other countries. If you can't get odds at Lloyds, then it's proof that the system here is rigged, just like Sumo.

Observations:
the model on the right is clearly a professional, with her smile, and eyes and other assets pointed directly at the camera.
the model of the left, is looking off into the distance, and her left hand is clearly curled in the well know satanic cult symbol.
I believe this to be an indication of the impending end times.

this is pathetic on both sides. A bunch of squabbling children saying
Nuh uhhhh! Ya huhhhh!
Glad the biggest economy, the most powerful military, and the leader of the free world is in the hands of such professional visionaries. They don't make Aso and company look so bad after all...

The phrase of today is "listening to those smarter than you." Obama made the first remark on his own, inexperienced, accord, and then changed it after listening to those who would actually be effected by his decision. Let's hope he keeps this quality.

Serious question:
When these product development genius's came up with the concept for this, what, or who, exactly was their target market?
Seriously, anyone?
The only thing I've ever seen similar to this in the states, was a book titled "Everything men know about women," and then the book was blank when you open it. Utterly useless, and only good for ONE laugh when you give it to somebody.

There is no controversy in this movie or the davinci code. It's all marketing. There was a world wide push for the davinci code, and there is a world wide marketing push for this movie. For proof of that, this is one of the three or four movies a year that opens in japan at the same time as the rest of the world, and not six months after. Japanese people know nothing about catholicism, so the only reason for this is because of studio marketing.

I suspect she was chosen more for her international hotness rather than her japanese hotness. too bad she is not a representative sample of japanese hotness.

Re: trouser length.
Classic business style indicates a trouser length so that there is one break in the front, and about half an inch in the back.
He's got about an inch to much. I highly doubt that a tailor to the PM would make that mistake, it's more likely this guy doesn't know how to wear his pants correctly. He's probably got a little gut hanging out that he thinks he's hiding with his jacket, but the trousers tell a different story.

Reverse rationalization. She gets angry, kills her, when she's dead she realizes what she's done, and on the way to the cop shop she makes up a lie, tells it to herself, and believes it in order to protect her ego. So she doesn't have to think she is a bad person. Now she is a nice person, she helped her friend, and if they put her in jail, then she will think of herself a as a martyr. Very common among female killers, around the world.

I understand he was just checking a missing from work, but he sees a bleeding dude crawling out the window, and sees the bad guy inside, and it takes him THREE MINUTES to call for backup? Sounds like he was taking his time as he was expecting to wake up some drunk guy and was met with actual police style danger, and was concerned more for his safety than anything else.

Well, it's good that at least a couple of J-journalists/writers are on to the absolutely lack of professionalism of the J-cops. Guy was tied, up, then he wasn't tied up. Find a body the next day.
I hope the general public express their outrage enough to make a difference.

How in the world could you show any "human" side of the Japanese during that slaughter? Is this writer upset because the filmmaker didn't excuse the Japanese for their actions?
A one sided killing spree is kind of hard to show ala Clint's movies, which depicted a typical army story of a bunch of guys fighting over an island.

What an absolute coward. Selfish, weak murderous coward.(assuming he is indeed responsible) The only good part was his method, as the poor kids just fell asleep and didn't wake up. That poor woman's life is ruined. I hope the fool had some kind of insurance that pays out in case of suicide, but I doubt it.

How many JT readers would dye their hair blond and prance around in golden underwear for a shot at some fame and the occasional companionship of some of the fairer "talentos"?
