That guys should be leaning over to lift a suitcase full of cash. An empty apology is worthless.

Ah all the comments were a nice read.

About re-election, I remember reading somewhere that he has no intention of running for another term after his current term ends in 2011. So hopefully he'll either resign before this or worst case he'll be phased out along with analogue broadcasting in…

Legal loopholes are evident elsewhere...

Gambling is illegal... yet pachinko parlors are everywhere, you win junk... take the junk across the street to the affiliated store, exchange it for cash.

Prostitution is illegal... yet soap land is everywhere... "oh its not prostitution if its happens consensually"...

Loopholes can be blocked…
