Um, nothing more imprtant to worry about there??

Formaldehyde Contaminated Water In Japan

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120520a1.html

I would expect a story like this from China, way before Japan. Almost 1/2 Million people without a regular water supply. This is what businessmen call progress (because they saved money). Get rain barrels folks.

Japan Still Cutting Power

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/20120518_18.html

They are importing Coal like crazy since they shut down all the Nuke Power Plants.  Try some Solar, it sucks that Japan is not the big inventor it used to be (unless you want a female robot).

Palestine Gets A Japanese Ambassador

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120517a9.html

Interesting, because I can't think of a single financial reason for Japan to do that. Maybe to just interject themselves into the conflict to get a seat at the bargaining table??

Japanese Trawler Runs Aground

You have to be a very bad sailor to do something like this. And why is a Japanese Trawler fishing off the coast of Africa?

Japan's Shozaburo Jimi Wants To Kill Poor People

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120513a2.html

Maybe "kill" was a strong word to use.  Would "smush under our rich assed heels sound better"?  Well, you know the rich people only need a few poor people to support their aspirations, so cutting off support for the many poor will serve the rich people fine.

It's a global conspiracy setting us up to be serfs, to their Kings.  It will fail.

China, South Korea and Japan's Debt Swap

This pic has no connection to the story

This has to be what Clinton is doing in China this week, shoring up Japan's economy so it doesn't spill over to the rest of the world.  Europe's implosion will be bad enough.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

WTF? I have admit though, I like the beats... I love the lyrics!

Licking Door Knobs Is NOT PORN

Stupid and degrading...

Japan CCTV Accidents

The one where the the driver gets ejected from the rear window is brutal.

US Removing Half The Marines From Okinowa

From the point of view of the locals, the problem is 1/2 solved. They want the US out. We don't need to be there, and should clear out totally. PS, it's more than a "tweak"

Japan's Hanging Room

Just to set this up, it's a room with a special podium, that can be retracted really quickly, leaving the guilty with a broken neck. In the video, it's the section of floor (shown retracted) with a red tape/paint demarkation.

Carbon Sequestration

This is one of the stupidest ideas ever conceived.  Do any of these "scientists" supporting this, understand Geology, and the fact that the Earth regurgitates it's upper crust constantly?  It's only a matter of time till this carbon is freed.  Especially in a major earthquake zone.
