  Isn't it a good thing they're going down? Tell the 'lamenting managers' to re-think their lives and put their skills to good use promoting something honorable. One less sexist wart on Japan's social backside. One down, 50 jillion to go... -_-

  Lol thunderbird, true enough. I saw it and it wasn't all that great. Most of it is downright fictitious. But, the subject matter makes people feel good about themselves as you say

  To get in shape you need someone yelling at you, not simpering.

  More like "14.8% ADMIT to Cheating". I may or may not have contributed to this number, and have reason to believe it ain't right.

  This might cause a row--it worries me that Pit fancies himself some kind of social rights activist.

  Not valid as in "Not until my check clears" or as in they simply broke down and sobbed at the very thought?

  @yildiray or, as in, not until I get close enough to retirement.

  I'd say these were just nutty teens BUT for the fact that it was obviously targeted at public officials. And we all know Japanese younglings couldn't care less about political machinations. It's yakuza.

  'Time will tell' is usually an excuse for inaction, and so annoys me. But the Utada song is good.

  Exactly @herefornow I took a class with a bunch of Japanese students and every other word I said made them convulsed with laughter. I didn't realize why until recently. Also, they use a lot of those butchered english words on TV all the time

  Well in theory it sounds okay. I for one would feel super weird. I felt pretty weird just doing it with only males. Guess it's just my being western..
