It goes both ways. I've heard about taxi drivers taking their passenger to an out of the way place, murdering them and then taking their money, too.

All this fuss about a Buddhist temple.. Isn't life all an illusion to Buddhists, anyway? Perhaps the boy is an incarnation of the Buddha and this is his comment on materialist spirituality. I think a little boy burning down a temple is beautiful (as long as nobody gets hurt).

Omori left her because one of her eyes is bigger than the other, botched eye operation.

"“I get told by the older women around my neighborhood, ‘I’m glad I got to see someone who’s on TV before I die.’”

What sad, pathetic lives these women have.

"..government maintained the crucifix is a symbol of Italian...history and tradition.."

OK, then have a statue of Jupiter in each classroom, too.

Been in Japan for over 4 years. Never been to a hostess bar, never been to a club, never been to Roppongi... but I'm having a great time!

Japanese TV entertainment 2009 is American TV entertainment 1969. All the comedian duos are a rip-off of Martin and Lewis.

"..we hope it is accepted as a DS that is left on the kitchen table.."

Yeah, because families don't use kitchen tables for family meals anymore.

"This would be a dramatic change—gaming on portable consoles... has until now been a private affair."

The Japanese don't like to do anything alone... well, except maybe commit suicide.

How do we know the woman didn't kill her husband and try to kill her son? And then cut herself and called the police?

It's because you make crap, Hitachi. And your cousin, Sony, is a lazy no-good, too.

The kiddie porn photos will go nicely with the police's up-skirt photo collection.

If you don't think this is a PR stunt then you are naive.

"we don't love war, we just win wars, for your benefit, lol."

Which wars, Sarge? I'm assuming that you aren't old enough to be in WW2 so if you're in the military now you are a LOSER.

Afghanistan = no "victory" in sight, forget about Osama? Iraq = quagmire, no WMDs, just occupying a country is not victory Vietnam = U.S got their ass kicked. Running with tail between the legs. Korea = North Korea is still there.

Usually if you want to beat the crap out of someone you hate them first, right? "Hate crime" seems redundant.

Hmm.. maybe it's double-think. We are supposed to think that we don't like "hate crime" so if you HATE crime then you are bad.... O.o

Officer-"Did you commit a hate crime!?" The accused-"No! I LOVE crime!" Doh!!

fds-"maybe she tried to feed the cute little doggies and ended up on the menu instead"

That was exactly my thought, as well.

LIBERTAS-"City folk!"

Yup.

It's just snow!

The apartment was locked from the inside. His mobile phone, ATM card and apartment key may have been left at the bar he last visited. He came home to his unlocked apartment, locked the door after entering and went crazy with the carpet.

I seriously think the old man got drunk and was playing with the carpet and suffocated or something.

Another hyped event.. yawn

"Jihad" means a spiritual battle between yourself and sin.

"Trumpeting a victory against careless spending"

Here is a visualization of Obama's proposed budget:

How do you say, "get over it" in Japanese?

She's a teenage girl hiking alone in the wilderness. Gotta question her intelligence. (Coyotes - 1 Teenage Canadian folksingers - 0)

"Cull the bad blood like we do with dogs." Dogs are domesticated, coyotes are not.

Perhaps the postcard shape of her dress was intended.

Domain names in foreign languages will be hip for awhile, but eventually if the website owners want many more people to view their site they will most likely just change back to english.

I personally would rather have a more international internet than a "globalized" internet.

Hmm.. another truck killing a child. Seems trucks kill more kids than cars even though there are many many more cars than trucks on the road. I am left to assume that the truck drivers were inattentive, possibly drunk, and in too much of a hurry.

This is only for PR. His approval ratings are in the toilet.

"his fall broken by an antenna, laundry clothes, and a roof before hitting the ground"

A Japanese Jackie Chan in the making? ^ ^

I'm glad the boy is alright. Mom needs to put down the highball and keep her lookin' balls on her kid(s).
