THE ASSASSINATION OF INEJIRO ASANUMA

This video shows the assassination of Japanese socialist leader Inejiro Asanuma. His sword-wielding killer was 17-year-old Otoya Yamaguchi (attacks at about the 1.15 mark) who was upset with Asanuma's pro-US defence policy.


Japanese photographer Yasushi Nagao won the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for this photo.



FOOTBALL WITH BINOCULARS


Japanese Televison is the best in the world, especially when BEAT TAKESHI is involved. They make the most inventive and fun stuff around, not shit like Strictly Come Dancing and that new thing with Graham Norton (I cant believe I have to pay for this crap, I thought the whole point of a TV licence was because the BBC had to offer high quality, creative, educational, interesting television and not have to worry about ratings). The last time I was in Japan I watched a quiz program where the contestant had to try and cry by viewing weird situations shown to her on a TV screen like showing her, her mum with her bum out pointed right in her boyfriends face while he was asleep, it was amazing.
