  Actually if the Iwi see this there will be some pissed off folks as witnessed by the Maori protests at simmilar stunts in the US and UK. Coca Cola better have had good consultations with the concerned kaumatuas or it might be getting some angry responses.

  the mother is 36 years old, she left the boy for 30 minutes.. doesn't take that long to take out garbage.. she probably had other "priorities".. makes me sad.

  makes you silly as well if you think she didn't spend a few minutes running around in panic looking for her son.

  Well of course, elderly numbers are increasing and the economy is still in the toilet. Perhaps they are reaping what they have sewn?

  At least Toyota is not the same as MLC. That stands for Motor Liquidation Company.......the old name of GM before they went bankrupt.

  That's right GM are experiencing increasing sales units are Toyota the opposite. It's all swings and roundabouts.

  Smith in Japan. hit the nail on the head. Ozmonster drove it home. The team first mentality isn't what good strikers need.

  切腹 requires two people and is done on the belly.

  Not really, nobility used to people to decapitate the person before they grimaced in pain which was considered humiliating. Commoners or lower class folks did it alone and the throat or chest were the usual places to stab due to the quicker loss of blood from these areas.

  Arrested by whom?

  wouldn't they all be arrested for assault?

  Good to see no-one was hurt again, but it's only a matter of time. J Whalers should go home!

  She's rubbish. Couldn't even win the beauty competiton. 9 months in France/ Bet she was fluent by the time she left...... She could try dating one of the ubiquitous French blokes that hang around "classy" clubs in tokyo....

  Wow someone has some issues today. Suspect it is failed sarcasm.

  Yawn, roids are what got the fans back to the MLB after the strike. MLB could care less about juice. Crying, that is a very Japanese response to guilt.

  The fact is that December 25th is celebrated worldwide.

  Yes it's a secular holiday. Some people celebrate the birth of Jesus but they are a minority. Insulting to Jesus? How about insulting to the guy with the busted nose?
