Robin Williams- Man Of The Year

Outstanding! And I love Venus Williams.

Is the "euphemistic expression" 'comfort women' used in South Korea. as the article states?

It seems all these incidents happened in Tokyo. What's up with that? Also, I wonder how many alcohol-related deaths there have been during the same period. One reported death is a tragedy. Dozens,scores,hundreds?-reported deaths, bad for business.

'Kid' for 'child'.

It's only bad because they're not politicians.

justbcuzisay is correct.

I wonder if it was just for cake's sake or if Ms Onotani enjoyed being a bully.

I become annoyed when convenience store clerks insist on putting a piece of tape on my pack of gum, even when I ask them not to. Are they worried that they'll suddenly forget that I've paid as I walk from the register to the door? Also, why do I have to touch the register's screen every time I buy my Asahi? I'm a lot younger than I look; I'm almost 60. And I only buy non-alcohol beer.

Abe should start with the butter shortage.

Way to go Hayashi! Sounds like Mr. Smith is just a whittle bit envious.

If they had interviewed working men between the ages of 40 and 80, this would be more of a daily check sheet.

Shouldn't the lady be suing her husband?

Sounds like the film is set in Mel Gibson's brain.

I guess it's ok because Suzuki is Japanese.

I thought "pair of mangoes" was a euphemism.

Has the Prime Minister weighed in on this?

Why would they admit to 50 thefts?

All pine trees are miracles.

Hmm.. the girl disappeared around 9:00 p.m. Wednesday and her mother reported her missing the next morning?

So, walking along a river, he could have saved himself by throwing the phone into the river?

I used to receive lots and lots of winter gifts, summer gifts and white day gifts. That has changed.

What are these drugs? Are they common or legal in other countries?

This ridiculous article reminds me of Tokyo's Isihara spending millions to send his son around the world to review Japanese restaurants. Only those restaurants that bought their ingredients from Japan got the special sticker to put in the window.

Where are the ra-women?

Which male announcer is cute and fresh enough to win this most prestigious japanese journalism award?

Where I live, campaign cars and trucks touting politicians are far more offensive than men or women inviting me into their bars.

The author seems to suggest that the increase in number of female officers is responsible for the increase of of sexual misconduct.

I wonder how many Japanese baseball fans ever help their wives clean, or wash their own tea cups at work.

For sure, the "icy stares" poster will work. I want one.
