Guess they couldn't find a pair of boots that actually fit those skinny legs.

OssanAmerica -- I think you have been in J-land too long. Your ability to connect the dots, as well as draw meanignful analogies has really declined. First off, the second comment in my post was a generalization about all talento here, not just this gal. So, obviously, the "what a…

"and in the end felt like Mariah Carey,” -- except without an ounce of talent. Which, of course, makes her the perfect "talento". What a country.

tokyochris -- please clarify your last sentence? Respectfully, I can agree with you that getting angry about a word, like haafu or gaijin, may not be a good use of someone's time. However, the fact that such words are often times used as rationale here among many Japanese to justify…

TokyoRoughGuy -- huh? If my math is even close, this train traveled about 600 feet while this guy was getting his rocks off shooting candids of these two gals. And you don't think that's a problem?

The J-gal must be very disheartened. With one winner and one first runner-up in just the past couple of years, not even making the last 15 is quite a slap. Her marketablity/endorsement-value just dropped dramatically. That acne commercial she's on cable right now with may be her last.

Read over the weekend that this importing of the vaccine is going to require a special dispensation from the health ministry, since none of the foreign companies have had time to test them on J-folks. Guess when needed, they can forget about all that longer intestines stuff.

Alphaape -- you make some great points, and, overall, I agree with your post. But, what concerns me about all this is not simply that he possibly chose the wrong words to make his point. My concern, is that with millions of Freeters, un-employed, under-employed, and part-time/contract employees, he is…

Hotbox08 -- how do you figure that for Japan, which has a rich history in men's marathon, including at least one Olympic Gold, that 6th is a "great result"? Absolutely, anyone running a marathon in world-class time has my admiration and respect. But, as an accoplishment for Japan's running culture,…

ilcub76 -- agreed, but the victim's "rushing" to join other members of the group was not too bright either.
