@mmwkdw -- this"Japanese standard" of racism, is in fact, racist. It's plain, good old fashion ignorance. Ignorance to the sensitivities that come with being a heterogeneous society, which Japan is not.

Meanwhile, it's been three days and no public statement of apology by ANA and the video is still up on ANA's Youtube channel! Who is running their communications team?!

Jiro dreams of a fire!

Embattled plane-maker Boeing took out full-page advertisements in major Japanese newspapers on Monday

Actually it was Tuesday's editions.

It''s the Bond villain and the Bond girl?

It's about time!!! Wait, I just read the headline and thought this was a political story about the downfall of Japan's lower house... Never mind...

Looks like today's power control room hasn't changed much since those seen on the Godzilla sets in the 1970s. Not very assuring...

GOJIRAA~!!!

While she was driving her daughter over to her parents’ house in the afternoon...

I was going to ask what club she used, but I think this answers my question.

Unfortunately just another Wednesday night in Tokyo. I hear they choose the Chuo line because the train is long, and can't stop easily.

Stupid... And the family of the deceased is left with a hefty fine for stopping the train.

China = displaced anger. The Chinese government is the puppet master. Maybe the Chinese government feels this is a healthy outlet for some of the latent anger its been sensing by its people toward its own government. You play with fire, you will get burned.

Whoa 80? Explains his old racist ways.

Tepco shouldn't be allowed to manage any money -- or projects, people and safety measures for that matter. They should just be responsible for cleaning up their mess, and then close up shop and get out of the business. Leave energy issues up to someone else.

"Great the guidelines are revised. Problem solved!" said no one ever.

What the article fails to mention is one of the drugs, elvitegravir, was developed by our own Japan Tobacco. Good to see one of their efforts finally paid off for the well-being of humankind.

Graduated from bubble gum porn to...???

More adult stuff?

At the same time giving semis to Japanese across the land.

So you are saying it's another whale hunt! Ironic. Haha...

Nothing hip about a knee replacement especially if they are tied to risk of heart attack as the headline suggests...

It's great to hear. Finally. Hopefully...

He demanded that the family be allowed to nominate experts from outside the city. He also said the meetings should not be closed to the public and media.

Good call Mr. Mayor. Without a public forum, there can't be public debate -- something there needs to be more of in Japan.

Next time give the baby up for adoption and go jump off the Rainbow bridge.

Marshal today, tomorrow Grand Wizard of the DPRK byung-shins!

"If you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen!"

...would be an inappropriate thing to say regarding the situation -- but only if you presume that the kitchen is a place for a woman.

With five leaders in the past year, sounds like Yahoo has adopted the Japanese government's musical-chairs model of leadership. Let's hope this one sticks.

Maybe Japan needs a woman to lead too.

Yay we did it guys! (sarcasm) Looks like the usual ojisan line-up at a Japanese wedding. Bunch of drunk bosses. Drunk with a false sense of empowerment, they let down their samurai facade for a split-second to express a moment of sheer joy...

The woman is there to pour the drinks unfortunately. Sorry.

Wow, sounds like a case of the "Mondays" for everyone. Not the best welcome -- or welcome back to Japan...

Export nuclear power plant expertise overseas?! Hahahahahaha!

That's like North Korea sharing their missile launching expertise with other nations.

Those are some fresh clown-platform-clogs the guys in the white has on.

Good we need to recycle earths because they are very rare. Wait, I thought we only had one?

She looks like one of Tim Burton's creations.
