Nothing like a good sweat in summer. At least you do end up with rotting clothes and moldy growths on certain areas of your body.

Another "big man" picking on a baby. Wonder if he will suffer an "accident" while in police custody. I also wonder if the police down in "Miyazaki" know how to "yellow page" people like this?

Really good idea. Just position him behind the till and he could stock the shelves using "the Force." Actually, considering recent issues vis-a-vis certain convenience stores not paying managers over time, I wonder what Darth's renumeration package is like. Let's face it, this is somebody who can strangle a person…

Hope they also include some non-Japanese survivors who just happened to be in Hiroshima/Nagasaki when the bombs were dropped. How about inviting some former Chinese or Korean slave laborers. At a pinch you could also probably dig up some US or Australian servicemen who had survived Japanese "holiday camps" in…

I wonder what US troops on the ground make of all these political junkets. You had McCain with his famous marketplace walk a couple of years ago (which was actually a huge stage-managed photo opportunity). Now you have Barack going off to Iraq to boost his supposedly "weak" foreign policy…

Good to see all the negative comments. These "food eating contests" have always really annoyed me because there are so many people in the world who are not able to obtain enough food to survive.

My grand-dad fought against Germany and Japan in World War 2, and North Korea/China during the Korean War (basically from start to finish) as a mid-level/senior level infantry commander. Despite seeing some pretty horrific atrocity scenes in World War 2 in New Guinea, he reckoned that acts carried out by…
