  36 transport ministry officials were known to have received favors in the form of beer, juice and candies from cabdrivers

  All I see is bored housewives... and a taxi driver...

  The taxi driver had just crashed his taxi into the promotion in Shibuya station and ended up there accidentally. Trying desparately to avoid the 'gaijin' trying to hail his cab.

  Okamura of 99 does the best Monta Mino gag. Basically Okamura takes the p out of the whole Mino set, paints himself 'sunbed orange' and the most meaningful Mino quote he makes during his gag is 'ohayo gozaimasu'.

  rjd,

  Steady on matey. Non-Japanese living in Japan have no choice but to read English language Japan-related websites. You're correct, this is a good country to live in and it is generally safer than where we come from back home. But none of that excuses (Olympic cheerleader) Ishihara's really poor…
