News from Japan #2

More news from Japan! As before, a bit of a collage, really. I re-state the previous that I am not sure if the negative things I bring up are due to media working differently in Japan, whether the English translation page of the MDN Japanese news is the reason, whether Mainichi News itself is the reason, or whether things simply are “different” there. But I can with a great bit of certainty say that the Japanese news items differ quite a bit from those I see here in Sweden, or in the United States.

That’s it for now.

    You know, the one about the woman living with the corpse to collect the pension … they actually had that as a plot on Despreate Housewives this season. Mrs. McClosky had her husband’s body stashed in the basement freezer for years, apparently.

    Gosh, based on the articles from Japan that you post/summarize, it seems like an awfully odd place.

    Then again, Canada might be this odd but I just don’t read that much news anymore.

    *twitches* I can’t imagine storing my mother for pension. Scary, just plain freaking scary. Oh, and GROSS!!!!!!!!

    It could be an odd place, or the Japanese media works in different ways than western media does. It’s a curious thing, whatever it is.
