An appropriate metaphor from a politician who sees his job as a game. The opposition is not going to do any work for the good of the nation unless Ichikawa is fired? Shame on them and shame on the electorate who support these bozos.

@Farmboy: You're assuming all these women are lying. If so, why did all of them go after Cain?

A tobacco tax hike is of course out of the question. Better to sock it to the entire population than inconvenience the smokers who make everyone else pay their medical bills.

I generally support the causes of Amnesty International, but this recent campaign is really making them look silly.

All songs will be in minor key. All performers will wear sackcloth and ash, and will replace their usual dance routines with self-flagellation.

The guys in this photo are just pissed off that Korean drama studs are stealing their women's attention.
Take up a real cause, losers. Your wives and your country need you to do a little better. And lose the shades.

I heard the news report in Japanese, and the only thing here that loses in translation is the assumption that a person of achievement is also a person of honor. The same assumption that led to the Noriko Sakai media lynching a couple of years ago, to name but one example.

What's that got to do with it?
Not sure what this means either.

That one made me laugh, somehow.
Anyway, "the boss" never really does much for me, along with a lot of American arena rock. Enough with the ego and vulnerability shtick--working class hero cum superstar cum softspoken prairie balladeer. Springsteen has a great voice and knows how to use it, but I don't much care for his musical approach.

It is very funny.
This scene makes me wet myself. I want to watch more and more funny commercials from now on. And buy many cars that are associated with reconstituted cartoon characters.

Commercials with popular stars like Aya Ueto make me happy. She is very cute. The white dog is very funny. He makes me laugh, especially when family member look on behind him. I wet myself when I see these commercials. I want to buy more and more products that are advertised on TV.

I am already there, thank you.
Sounds like a hilariously captivating commercial. Family communicates with astronaut in space and dreams of escaping from the shallowness and repetition of the producers' ad concepts.
Also glad to see the Japanese astronauts doing something useful in space, like advertising instant noodles and cell phones.
