I don't understand why "change" is in quotes in the headline. Is it supposed to be used ironically?

Since the domain rinkedin.com is already taken (with an almost identical logo), what are they going to do!?

And it lost $4.1 Billion in market capitalization since LAST THURSDAY. Lol... Yes, they definitely fired the wrong guy. Although he may have left and gone public with it anyhow. Sounds like a decent dude.

OK I am now officially done with these two. A little too overexposed.

This begs the question: Was it a nine-iron or a driver?

Too bad - he will undoubtedly have his custody rights taken away. And as bad as his parenting skills are, it seems like these 2 are very close.

I hear sushi chefs need a license to work. Is that true? If so, how on earth is it that Judo teachers don't need a license. When is the last time you heard of a person (a kid especially) getting killed in a sushi restaurant? My point is that a martial art school would seem like the kind of place a certification program could greatly benefit.

Thanks Nicky. I have never heard the phrase "X prostitutes Y" before. (It's usually "forcing Y into prostitution"). But it is a verb, and like you say it is the offering of "services." Well you certainly have the cunning linguist skills of a pro!

I take issue with the headline, or maybe I am just learning something new (it happens every day), but is it possible for someone to "prostitute" another person? I thought the act of one person (A-san) making another person (B-san) perform a sex act with a third party (C-san) was called "pimping," while the act of "prostitution" was what occurs between B-san and C-san.

His name is Tsuyoshi Sakamoto, but I can't find an article that names the school.

One million yen and no jail time? I have to admit I approached this article with cynicism as soon as I read the headline, but this really takes the cake.

I don't understand why these people would attend in person if this is the get-up they force upon themselves. BTW, ever heard of sunscreen? I suppose the fear of a slight tan is what causes such poor attendance. For all the bragging about being an "island country," this place has the most sun-phobic people on Earth.
