  Just when I was starting to get worried about the Yankees making next to no moves in the pre-season. I should have had more faith in Brian Cashman. Yankees are now clear favorites to repeat as AL East champs.

  Not much. Ishihara's still got the backing of the aging Tokyo population unfortunately.

  I have never liked Princess Kiko's fake smile and I always will.

  Shouldn't that be, "and I never will"?

  Or maybe he meant "I have always liked...." Hard to tell.

  "Just weak people! It is a Japahetic society!"

  I love the Japan-bashing in these comments on almost every story, usually from the same readers.

  This incident, with it's taunters urging him to go through with the act, was hardly a Japanese innovation. In 2008 an American teen named Abraham Biggs killed himself on Justin.tv to the same sort of chorus of depraved cheerleaders. Google Abraham Biggs for all the details.

  Sorry, to burst your Japan-hating bubble, Disillusioned.

  The "son" you mention's father was the victim killed in the building when it was struck by the plane. His father was a hero. What a tragedy, and this kook daughter is indeed as mentally ill as her father was and should be institutionalized so that she doesn't end up hurting innocent people either.

  I travel the Yonago Expressway quite often on the way to and from Mt Daisen for skiing and it can be treacherous at times with snow and ice. Mandatory tire chains are often enforced. I agree that it appears one or both of these cars was traveling at a far higher speed than is advised.

  Anyway, this is clearly just a case of mental illness for the TV smasher so obviously anything could have set him off, even a presidential speech. I do agree with sensei258 that it's just fortunate he took out his aggressions on TV sets and not fellow customers.

  In fact, an incident where Jinnai had yelled at Fujiwara and demanded that she get on her knees to apologize for bringing up his extramarital affairs had made the headlines

  I must have missed the "might have" on this one.

  I'd say domestic violence is a newsworthy issue, particularly in a high-profile case such as this one. It isn't restricted to physical abuse either.
