Yawn

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida reiterated Friday that he will concentrate on tackling issues that "cannot be postponed," ruling out the possibility of dissolving the House of Representatives for a snap election in the near future.

Satire?

It's not like they pay their fare share anyway. The mega rich avoid tax and have their cash stashed away in tax havens. So they won't be missed.

Woke nonsense kills comedy.

Fewer humans on the planet would help.

God help us.

Never invite this corrupt circus to your city. All that money spent for what amounts to a school sport carnival? Forget it.

Dual citizenship anyone?

Good. Go to jail.

He'll be swinging on a rope when convicted and sentenced.

I hope the J-gov't can be truly hospitable with the visitors they are so dependent to keep their economy afloat.

Nonsense. They're contributing very little to the economy. Check the value of the yen and the amount of debt the country is carrying.

What type of husband throws his wofe off of a bridge?

A very angry one.

Makes visiting Churchill and points north a safer option, eh. No need to worry aboot being mauled by one of them.

A rotten Apple

It warned that "intense heat at the Paris Olympics in July-August 2024 could lead to competitors collapsing and in worst case scenarios dying during the Games."

So cancel it. The world will manage without this circus.

Good riddance.

but governor says more measures needed

To tackle overtourism in general start by removing visa on arrival to all tourists. Setup something like an esta.

Next, abolish duty free sales outside airports.

Then close all of these mountain climbing trails.

He couldn't bear the thought of another hot as hell summer outdoors, so wanted some air con. Definitely smarter than an average bear.

Nice time to be in the Biergarten. Would suit him since he never does any work.

No. August and the oppressive heat is much worse.

But anywhere, January sucks big time.

Another day, another pervert in the city.

He just won another prize - a prized idiot.

Next time ask if you can take one.

Japanese confectionery maker Chateraise Co

Shall be boycotting this disgusting company. Urge others to do the same.

Why not do what shops do in most other countries: dim the lights and walk around the store politely reminding folks it's time to go? 

Is it hard?

Yes. Someone might go home and have a breakdown if they're told directly to leave. Hence the music.

Why does anyone need to linger any more than about 5 minutes in a store selling cheap crap. Just get what you need and go.

Competitive eating is a repugnant exhibition. There are many homeless people who would be happy for just one hot dog not sourced from a garbage bin.

Inevitable. Now maybe these stupid things get banned before someone dies.

Or you can just put some sunscreen on and wear a hat instead of wasting your money on this.

Bus travel in Japan is a painful experience. They drive unbelievably slow and use buses too small and inadequate for the routes they operate. Kyoto's buses are the absolute worst example. Articulated buses could help but the dinosaurs in charge are too stubborn to consider it.

Though Japan cannot actually manufacture an articlated bus, those in Fukuoka/Makuhari are Benzes or Scania s.

That’s not very ‘sexy’ (sic)

That's not very funny either.

Just means more work for the construction industry.
