Only in Japan does it take nearly 30 years to realize that two traffic signals at a T junction have simultaneously been turning green for about seven seconds at a time . Yes, that’s right people 30 years. Hmm, seems a programming error was to blame for this “accident waiting to happen” but nobody seemed to have noticed (gosh, they are so polite).Hmm, that was until recently when that  accident did happen and the drivers both claimed to have had green lights. When authorities investigated the accident it was found that they were right, no one had checked the programming since they were installed in 1980.  Get this, the police have admitted the error was entirely due to their negligence. Not only that ,they have apologized to the drivers, compensated them for the FULL cost of damage to both cars and have removed one of the signals. That is more news worthy than the friggin green lights debacle!

Now stop it, its going too far. A Japanese man is starting up a petition to make marriages between humans and cartoon characters legal in Japan. Oh loon alert indeed! Hmm, seems Taichi Takashita is a lot more comfortable amongst his two-dimensional friends than first thought! And fair enough, if you want to be the permanent bread winner feel free, but I bet the sex sucks! Taichi is aiming at getting a million signatures (via the internet) to present to the government to establish a law on marriages with cartoon characters (like to be a fly on that wall!).Sadly, Japan only permits marriage between human men and women (those bastards!) and gives no legal recognition to same-sex relationships, so I am guessing the answer will be “hell no”. One thousand have already put their name on his petition. So I guess if you want a divorce all your need is an eraser? Whew lucky for our little cyber Avatar killer the laws aren’t in yet, she could have actually been charged with murder! That’s all folks!

Japan’s answer to the escalating sexual harassment crimes on trains the Friggin Train Cafes. If you are a female and have ever caught a peak hour train in Japan you’ve probably been groped once or twice (if not you must be damn, damn ugly). It seems like it is part of the the whole Japanese peak hour train experience. That, along with, getting pushed into the crowded tin can by men wearing white gloves. Well if you happen to be one of those Japanese gropers (chikan) you may want to become a member of the Train Cafe club. It’ll only cost you 5,000 yen (roughly 50 bucks) and save you a whole lot of trouble in the future. Once you are a member you can pay an additional 3,600 yen to partake in a 20 minute touchy feelie fest. Yep that’s right you can catch the molester express. A simulated train ride where you can grope as many young women dressed in school uniforms or aprons as you like. I kid you not. The room has been designed to look like a train carriage. Well, it has been designed to look like the most popular molesting circuit, the Yamanote Line train carriage, (thats the one that loops the central Tokyo area).
Once on board the patrons can fondle as many women as they like (and which ever way they choose) who are standing at strategic points inside the carriage.The simulated carriage ride even makes stops at several stations where the women get on and off, so you always have a selection of victims. Dear god, they even use actual recordings of the conductors’ announcements and LCD screens outside the window showing actual footage of the trip along the line.All the club asks of its members is that they refrain from ejaculating whilst on the choo choo (they have a whole different establishment for that!).
The Train Cafe is located in the basement of a seedy building in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro district. From all reports it has helped in reducing the amount of molestations on trains. Well, that and the fact that Tokyo trains now offer women’s only carriages.
Sorry no footage of club but do you wanna see and example of peak hour train commuting in Japan?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z81k6u7pc4Y]What is wrong with the world? Don’t get me started….Can somebody please explain why the world is letting the Japanese slaughter our whales? Yes they are ours, everyones, the worlds. What “scientific” purposes involves murder ? Come on, I can’t even buy make-up that has been tested on an animal. AND don’t you think there are more evil things to kill than a whale. Can you tell me the last time a whale stole your car, robbed your house, mugged you or stopped you putting up Christmas decorations ? Come on these fat docile creatures just roam around the ocean avoiding any conflict (maybe we should all become whales). So just stop it onegaishimasu.
