Bat Boy vs the Miniskirt police!

Bat Boy saying NoAs I have reported on before, the nefarious Bay Boy (shown on the right) has been lost his job at the WWNews and was evicted in Japan. Now however, Japan has officially joined the Final Crusade in the hunt for the elusive mutant.

JAPANESE JOIN HUNT TO CAPTURE BAT BOY
WWNews – Friday, March 5th, 2010
WEST VIRGINIA –
Bat Boy is still on the loose and U.S. officials are losing patience. They’ve called in the big guns to help!
As America’s favorite mutant continues to elude and evade … the Japanese have been brought into the hunt…their top operative, special officer Arashi Yuko.
Yuko is one of Japan’s most decorated officers and is only called in to assist in high priority cases…
….Asked if she feared Bat Boy she replied,I fear American sushi more. It bears no resemblance to what we eat in Japan.more...

Basically, Japan is sending a mutant girl, to catch a mutant boy.
As you can see below, Yuko Arashi’s official website even gives us a peek at her daibolical disguises that she will employ to beguile and capture Bat Boy.

SURF’S UP!

An hour ago I received a warning from the Tokyo U.S. Embassy’s warden….

“The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo is transmitting the following information through the Embassy’s warden system is ordering mandatory evacuations of all U.S. citizens residing between sea level and thirty (30) feet between the hours of 2:00-5:00 P.M. local time. Additionally, they are recommending evacuations for all U.S. residing between 30-60 feet above sea level.”

I live on uppermost reaches of a tidal estuary that’s at 57 feet above sea level, ha, ha. I have to check the river banks. Interesting—The natural banks are just starting to overflow a little. See the action at my webcam at: www.bousai.keihin.ktr.mlit.go.jp/Calamity/Points

I hope our 3Yen reader and frequent poster in Valparaiso Chile is ok.

Evidence of Mad-Hatter syndrome in Japan

Evidence of Mad-Hatter syndrome in Japan. That is, this charming Japanese guy wants his heavy metal laden whale blubber* that everywhere else in the world is considered toxic waste. Japanese whale and dolphin meat is tainted with mercury levels ranging from 3.25 to 200 times over the maximum levels set by the Ministry of Health of Japan.

*Yes, yes, I have been served and have eaten whale and dolphin here in Japan. The whale “bacon” (blubber) shown in the bottom of the above photo is terrible, but the worst tasting cetacean is dolphin, which has a bloody-gamey taste. On the other hand, the red meat of whale tastes like fairly good beefsteak.

Japan vs the 10 Ugly Rivers of the World

Marilao-river

The Ten Ugly Rivers of the World by zuzutop.com seems to be unaware of Japan’s OFFICIAL governmental directive called “The Fundamental River Management Policy.”
The photos above and below of The Ten Ugly Rivers of the World look scary but ….

ganges riverGanages

…Only two of the rivers of The Ten Ugly Rivers of the World are attributed to G-8 countries, and none of the rivers mentioned are in Japan, which can easily beat the 3rd World’s rivers like the Ganges for toxicity and ugliness.

This governmental policy has mandated destroying all of the Japan’s rivers and shorelines with concrete (as well as Japan Inc’s unofficial carte blache to fill their concrete river troughs with dioxin, endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, etc).

“CONCRETE public works in the next five years will exceed that in the United States by 300 to 400 percent, despite there being only a twentieth as much land area to be manipulated. The Japanese lay 30 times as much concrete per square foot as does the United States”

Japan admits killing more tuna than allowed
TOKYO (AFP)— Japan has netted more of a protected type of tuna than allowed, prompting the world’s largest tuna-consuming nation to tighten controls on its fishing industry…as much as 99 percent of the world catch circulated in Japan, farm ministry official Shingo Kurohagi said. An investigation found that Japan has already exceeded its limit by 1,500 tons in the fiscal year that ends in March…
…Australia and Japan are often at loggerheads on fishery issues. Australia helped lead opposition to Japanese whalers…Japan has also said it has suspicions about Australia as the amount of Southern Bluefin Tuna it exports to Japan allegedly exceeds what it catches. “The fish farmed by Australia become so big to the extent that is impossible biologically, if it is keeping its own limit of tuna catches,” Kurohagi said….more….

Damn, I better eat some grilled tuna for lunch before the only bluefin tuna that’s left is on my 3Yen.com mousepad.
