Just because they like to dress unique doesn't mean they're able to act uniquely in social situations.

I think outfit everyone passing through the zone with a tracking gun, and get them to tag anyone they're robbed / attacked by. Then send in planes to sink the buggers.

Well, I'd never heard of it before... And my dad's an electrician. If you have to be so close to the socket, is there any point >.>

Cordless electricity?? How the hell does that work? And does it mean I'll get electrocuted by drinking a beer between the wall socket and my giant imaginary flatscreen?

You'd think Mei / May would be the natural progression, wouldn't you? I thought Jun was only for boys, too.
People feel the need in Japan to point out that others are haafu, as if they didn't know. I don't know if it's actually a spiteful thing - Japanese like 'safe' conversation topics that don't make assumptions about other people; if you're half and you show it, that's fair game for conversation. Unfortunately, it lets Japanese slide into the "OMG u can use chopsticks! What's your blood type?" field of questions that make foreign-raised folk wonder if all Japanese are completely vapid. Of course, the reality is that they don't (always) want to ask awkward questions, so things can get stuck in an odd place between curiosity and tatemae...

Chill out, half is quite a widespread word, whatever your assesment of its connotations. It's typically Japanese in its approach - it suggests half-Japanese half-whatever, who cares. I don't really hear it applied or thought about for those without a Japanese parent. Personally, the fact that people are even being delineated as not Japanese RACIALLY regardless of their country of rearing is what gets me; I believe that nurture has a lot more to do with your ability to get by in a given society than nature.
You should go check out this article on 'halfs' and 'doubles' if you're really keen:

I can't imagine someone stungunning a barely concious child in a taxi with the driver right there. The driver is probably lucky to be alive. How animal...

Middle Setter: I can't believe we're doing this. I look like Minnie Driver in an Oscars dress. Left Setter: I like it! Right Setter: Suck it up. We'll get lots of good grub around the back door of the Irish pubs. MS: We'd better. I feel like I'm at a Snuffalufagus dance party.

It would be kind of funny to see it happen to some awful ganguro girl, but a little kid is a bit unfair.

Who gets poop duty? I nominate the dog in black.
Are you allowed to participate if you don't have that particular breed of doggy?

He asked his girl to kill him ? How bizarre, and how unlike The Joker, who'd surely be willing to top himself for the right kind of mayhem.
Also, a slow speed chase?? What does that involve.
Mod: The story has a paragraph repeated, with a word changed.

Aaah, another epic failure of Japan's interaction with the gaikoku. These kids look horrendous, like someone zapped them with a Bad Taste Gun. Seriously, cosplay girl on the right is just nauseating, and Felix on the left looks like she was photoshopped to have a 30% wider head. Let's get a side on shot of her, please - maybe she was squeezed in a strange way with the caliper/forcep thingies during childbirth, and thus has a horizontally flattened head?
And is our girl in the centre wearing a pendant that reads 'lolita' ?

10 points to Wottock.
Isn't Kuwabata some idiot whose whole shtick is to wiggle her belly about in some sort of 'exercise' ? There's so much wrong with this whole story. Who is she, a 'tarento' comedian, to tell a skin mag chick how to look? Why should she have to look like the typical emaciated Japanese model? And how does anyone take 30cm off their body, unless the plan is to measure all the bits - legs, arms, stomach, etc - and add up the tiny increments lost? And all in a month? As if.
