Wow, are the cops so lame here that they actually complain to someone about young children shoving them around?
Personally, if I were a police officer, I would be way too ashamed to admit that had ever happened to me. Are they not allowed to do anything?
I mean, if they were actually physically pushed around, doesn't that count as assault? I'm not trying to tell them how to do their job, but there needs to be a certain amount of respect if they are to properly do their job. I know that if you were to flip the bird on a cop in NA, you'd find yourself in the back seat of a cruiser unless they were on their way to something more important. I can't say if it that's the right thing to do or not, but I'm pretty sure that allowing yourself to be pushed around by 'kids' is better.

I think that the person just magnifies what Japanese people already feel about foreigners.
Any foreigner who has been in Japan for any length of time will ultimately notice the types of discrimination that is going on around them. If they don't, they are either oblivious or are lying to themselves.
It's quite easy to blame someone else for your own problems rather than take a really good look at yourself. This seems to be just another example of someone trying to blame others for something, in this case foreigners.
I really can't believe that given the way Japanese people feel about foreigners in their country that they would allow someone to come in and build a building without any Japanese input. How is THAT ever going to happen?
I think that most cities around the world tend to become 'toilets' if they become big enough. It's really hard to get around that fact without a lot of overall planning on the city. For that you have city engineers. Are you telling me that all Japanese cities are designed by foreigners?
Or is this person just merely saying that one bad building in a city will make it all the difference? It would be really interesting to see the data on all of this. Let's see who built WHAT, and then make a decision. Not only that, but it would be nice to find out who had control over the building construction. I mean, who had the final say? Of course that will never happen. We will really never know which buildings were built by whom and who had influence over the structure.
Besides that, it's all subjective isn't in? What one person may consider a work of art, another might think it's garbage. Personally, I find MOST of the apartment buildings in Japan to be very similar in design. Kind of boxy, and ugly. So, those are all designed by foreigners? I had no idea!! Foreigners must have WAY more say that I thought.
Whew...going on a bit of a rant there for a moment...apologies!
Posted in: Japan is a disposal ground -- a toilet -- and if a foreign design turns out to be poor, the foreign architect can just go back to their own country and forget about it.

I can't believe some of you guys are defending this person!
Most companies frown upon personal use of the office equipment such as using the telephone to call your friends or family on non-related business. Surfing the internet to check your email is also a bad idea. Checking out porn is just plain stupid when you're on a company computer. I'm sure most people are forgiving if were an isolated incident, but in this fellows case it's obviously a habit regardless if one click generates multiple hits. He's damn lucky he wasn't just fired for mis-using company equipment.
I think a lot of other people need to be careful as well, regardless of the content. Surfing the internet for personal interest on company time is just asking for trouble! Oh..I better go, the boss is coming!

I like the way that when you say McWrap it sounds a bit like Mac-crap
At guess they're trying to avoid being accused of false advertising.
As for Ebihara-san's dress, I'm guessing that they're trying to make her look like a wrap...Mmmm..does that mean she tastes like chicken??? I'd love to find that out (firsthand of course).
