Sagecat... I sent them an angry (but professional) e-mail too. Don't think it will do anything, but if enough people send them one maybe another site (wink, wink) will pick it up... C'mon JT... Pick up Waiwai (change the name for copyright issues) and translate it here.

I hadn't heard about this... But does that mean that they will still have a Japanese version of WaiWai on the Japanese language site???
The logic that we shouldn't publish negative information about a country because people will see the country in a negative light is strange to me. If that doesn't shout that people are sticking their heads in the ground then nothing will.
But then this is Japan and they use the exact same logic to justify NOT acknowledging that they were the aggressors of the war and play the victim...

I remember being 12 shortly after my parents' divorce was final and as my dad was driving over a bridge over the Mississippi River he took out his wedding band and threw it in the river. Seems like a good way to deal the rings instead of putting the bad luck back into circulation... Drive over Rainbow Bridge and chuck it...

Our school doesn't allow students to have cell phones and they always give reasons like this as to why they should be allowed to have them. I always tell them that a cell phone will never help them in these violent situations. Trapped somewhere, yes, but never a sudden attack...

I will consider getting it even though I've been happy with AU/EZWeb these past three years, but I hope Apple will not continue with this exclusivity B.S.
The price will be my biggest concern.

Good actress or not Kuroki is still yummy to look at even at 47 or maybe "especially" at 47, but... You just know her daughter is hen pecked to death about school. Even my wife says she must be a bitch at home...

I enjoy hearing what my friends are up to on sites like that. It's better than bitching and moaning anonymously about society on message boards where you can hide...

It looks pretty cool, but I guess I'll have to get use to it. I love the bottom section broken down by category, but looks like your top front page will be a mish mash of news. I hope the photos will be large this time. The smaller "keitai" size pictures were such a waste.
