Japan is still completely crazy. Recent headlines from Mainichi Daily News: Angry ape goes on the rampage, Teen madams force friend to turn a few tricks, Time bomb explodes at cram school. "Cram school" is not defined in the article. I assume that rampaging monsters are commonplace in Japan (judging from all the movies...), so I guess the angry ape is nothing special. I'm most surprised by what the kids are doing over there; not just prostitution (any 14 year old can do that), but renting cell phones, raqueteering, and all sorts of extortion.
