Based on their similarities, I am guessing these are the creations of the same "artist". How about turning the project over to local school kids? I know they could do much better, and definitely less creepy.

Unfortunate that she died, but her own actions put her in that position. She made her own bed. If she had been deported immediately, there would be complaints about lack of due process.

One has to wonder how many lives these criminals have destroyed. Imagine "investing" your life savings and getting lulled into a sense of false secure because you receive interest payments on time (from new victims money) and your fake statements show that you are doing well. No red flags. Then the rug is pulled out from under you and you face the reality that you are penniless and have nothing. Life sentences are appropriate.

All media is more fragmented than ever before. The days of a single program obtaining dominant market share no longer exists, especially measured across a broad demographic. The numbers definitely skew towards an older profile, so no surprise here.

Video of the father being kissed by his late daughter was gut wrenching. On top of that, he lost his wife too. Unimaginable loss and grief. No way people of extreme advanced age should be behind the wheel of a car. There needs to be a firm age cap on drivers licenses, and a system to annually prove competency prior to that.

Posted in: Ballet dancer arrested over sex with 16-year-old girl at Tokyo hotel See in context
There is a distinct possibility she was 16 going on 30, if you know what I mean. High probability that his taunting her with the "other women" and "playmate " comments simply put the young lady into vengeance mode. She apparently had no problem with the sexual encounter until she was a scorned woman. Happens all the time across all age groups.

Many items are already prepared and sitting in tare or are salted so I don't have an issue with the kaiten concept. Also, in reality they will likely be required to protect the food with domes.
