Today's big news

Today's big news is the arrest of SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. According to the early news releases he was getting really pished and ended up getting undressed in a park shouting and screaming. Neighbours called the police, who arrived at the scene finding Kusanagi naked. Upon telling him to put on some clothes, Kusanagi is reported to have said: "What's wrong with being naked" 裸でいたら何が悪い or 裸になって何が悪い depending on news source?

The media has this as its main news on the telly tonight. Even NHK opened up with the news, for a good 5 minutes, including a professor emeritus from Keio Uni Hospital, who explained brain black out due to alcohol, like it was part of a unique and decisive piece of evidence in a big murder case.

First, who cares? Second, hasn't everybody gotten a wee drunk sometime? Third, a wee bit of nakedness never killed anyone (apart from the Americans that is). Fourth, if I was ever asked a question in my field of expertise, I would surely refuse if it would be used in a piece on a drunk, naked boyband singer.

Bloody hell, what is the world coming to if a man or a woman for that matter can't get pished and end up naked?

I am unfortunately not much of an activist, but if this is true it is just disgusting. Interac is a company known for dispatching English teachers to junior high and high schools in Japan.

I promised myself that I would update this blog a little more often that I have in the past. This is not very difficult since last time I wrote was the first time in six months. Not that I have much to say.

I can say though, and this is totally random, that my Firefox add-on spell checker marks "blog" as misspelled!! This in addition to "Firefox"!!

Let's just say that it has been awhile, and even though I have been here all the time I just haven't gotten around to write anything. To be honest I don't know whether that will improve from now on. My dear readers, few as the may be, will just have to bear with me.

This will one of those micro blog posts that seem to be so in fashion, twitter or what ever it is called.
