Ridiculous, a simple poster explaining the original meaning of the symbol would be both educational and simple.Why spend a lot of money to eradicate a part of Japanese culture just because some uneducated tourists are surprised? The symbol is obviouslt not related to nazi Germany. If there is money to spend why not do something about obviously sexual manga featuring underage girls?

N°3 is wrong too. It meant "zéro" orginally but I guess a lot of people now use it to mean "ok" like the previous poster mentioned especially when they're diving.
