Judging from the TMZ.com headline below, Japan’s homeboy buddha (3Yen/ 2011-03-04), Steven Seagal, is obviously upset by Dennis Rodman’s diplomatic coup of recruiting Kim Jong Un to the NBA (TIME magazine / 2013Mar12). Japan’s favorite son, Seagal (3Yen /2006-10-24), must be very worried about the sworn enemy of Japan, North Korea, and the possible rapprochement with the United States and the NBA.

According to a survey conducted in January this year of Association of Copyright for Computer Software (ACCS), the number of P2P file sharing software users has been greatly reduced.

**Ding dong**: “NHK…{and a bunch of Japanese blah, blah, blah}…

Me: GO AWAY!
NHK collector (in stilted engrish): Sir, I am from Nippon Hosso Kyoai and I am here for your TV licence contract payment.
Me (irately): I ain’t paying for your government propaganda channels! Go way.
Thus continues my seemingly endless, 29-year battle with the subscription fee collectors of NHK, Japan’s national public broadcaster. These collectors are determined to extort from me the monthly 15,000 to 25,000 yen ($160 to $266 US dollars) semi-voluntary fee for their broadcast (propaganda) service.
I never pay.
Yet, another NHK man will return in a few months to try again. However, I will be armed with this shocking bit of information the next time the NHK man calls:
ASAHI NEWS (Google Translate):

NHK employees receive an average annual salary of 11.85 million yen.
Arrrg!! That salary of 11.85 million yen equals $127,000 US dollars per year. The next time the NHK man comes ringing my doorbell try to sell me a NHK payment sticker for my doorjam (see below), he’s buying me lunch.


Japan’s Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Taro Aso—age 72—seems to want the public to put him out his senile misery…
Japanese Finance Minister: Government Should Let Old People ‘Hurry Up And Die’
heraldsun.com.au (AFP) | Jan. 21, 2013
Japan’s finance minister Taro Aso said Monday the elderly should be allowed to “hurry up and die” instead of costing the government money for end-of-life medical care.
Aso, who also doubles as deputy prime minister, reportedly said during a meeting of the National Council on Social Security Reforms… “[problems] won’t be solved unless you let them hurry up and die” …and referred to “tube people” when talking of patients who cannot feed themselves.

The truth is the government really does just Photoshop new heads on the official Japan Cabinet portraits since Prime Minister changes every year and while in office the Prime Minister shuffles his cabinet at least three times.

Best known for abruptly quitting as Japanese Prime Minister in 2008 because uncontrolled shitting in his trousers, Shinzo Abe, is shown above celebrating retaking power as the next Prime Minister of Japan.

As the President of the LDP—the not-so-Liberal not-so-Democratic not-much-fun-Party—Mr. Pooper wants to lead hidebound Japan even further to the right as Japan slips into a third “Lost Decade” of economic decline* and a multiple territorial disputes with its hostile neighbors†.
