So, here I am again! Its a sunny Sunday, warmer than usual, and I am waiting to head out to a Vocal Jazz concert in Gifu with a friend. I will meet them at Konan Station in about a half hour. Big fun in Japan; I tell ya.
Wanted to drop a dime on this new manga (comic) in Japan. The following is from a Yahoo groups list I am 0n, life in Japan. It kinda pisses me off, and so I will pass it along to you as well.

Here are some "highlights" :
Back Page:
47,000 crimes by foreigners each year!!
There then follows a "danger rating" (kikendo) of each country, scattered on a world map surrounded by knives, guns and syringes:
China: 14 Russia: 5 Korea: 9 Brazil: 8 Colombia: 3 Etc.
None for the USA, Canada, Australia or the whole of Europe.
[And of course no stats for Japanese criminals for comparison.]

One more report from another blogger in Tokyo:
============ = BLOG COMMENT BEGINS ============ =======
There's also an extremely puerile article about Korean "Delivery Health"
pr*st*t*t*on services, which give the lowdown on some of the "myths" that
surround them, entitled "Korean Delivery Health: True or Lie?"
Myth number 6 or 7 is "Is it true that Korean wh*res' v*g*n*s smell of
kimchii?". This is discussed at length, the basic conclusions being that no,
Korean wh*res' v*g*n*s do not especially smell of kimchii but you can expect
a general aroma of kimchii on her body.
Debito, this is one of the most irresponsible and mean-spirited pieces of
journalism and publishing I have ever had the misfortune to come across. It
truly is at least as bad, if not worse, than any underground right-wing
literature you'd find in Austria, France, Germany or the UK. But this isn't
"underground" --it's sold in Family Mart convenience stores apparently
nationwide and published by a firm that by all accounts sees itself as being
part of the mainstream.

COMMENT: The magazine is already making waves overseas (I just got called tonight by The Guardian (UK) for a quote), as it should. And the blogosphere is suggesting creative ways to sabotage the sales (such as sticking chewing gum in the copies on the newsstand).
You can also exercise your power as consumer by letting the stores in your area which stock this magazine know how you feel (be polite about it). Or if you'd like to head for the source, try these outlets (thanks Craig):
