Tessa, my 45-year-old wife has a similar body. Just because the women of some countries let themselves evolve into chunky monkeys, doesn't mean that everyone must. We can appreciate the female form in it's true glory.

Are people hired based on their looks?

Is this a joke? As if we all don't know this.

I presume, and sincerely hope, that these arcane rules are very rare in J-business!

This misleading headline caused me to read an article I wouldn't have read otherwise. I was very curious about how a person in Japan could receive a sentence of "life in prison" for fraud. And thereupon I discovered this idiocy about masturbation. What a country we live in, eh!

Nothing more needs to be said on this topic!

Ditto, on the above comments. It's a shame to take an important concept and bury it in generalities. Kabukilover--your specific comments were spot on.

Can we trust TEPCO anywhere? anytime? with anything?

This person is doing so much good for people both here and abroad, yet the vitriol directed toward him here from LazyBoy heroes staggers the imagination.

So kind of them to cheer up the kids.

On another note,

The battle between the buggy-eyed blue superhero and the evil sea monster and his ninja henchmen was a brief but refreshing return to normalcy for children along Japan’s northeast coast

buggy-eyed blue superhero and the evil sea monster Normalcy?

Writing on my iPad, with my iPhone playing Internet radio, my iPod Touch and MacBook Pro downstairs, all connecting seamlessly with my super Mac at work, I suppose indicates that my 18 years using Macs is still a lovely dream. I'm so happy that Apple has finally shown their vast superiority to Windows.

Interesting to see how this plays out, although probably it won't be resolved in our lifetime. Seeing J-mothers at the international court in Den Hague will be cute.

For the doubters, here is a headline from the Daily Yomiuri on Sunday, April 17, 2011:

TEPCO ignored tsunami warnings for years

This newspaper is quite conservative, so if it's in this press, the situation is probably even worse.

TEPCO is criminally responsible!
