More Ridiculousness

This evening, I was just watching the news on TV. Now, I should preface this story by mentioning that Japan is super interesting in the race between Obama and Clinton...only Obama and Clinton...not in the rest of the democrats... and deffinately not in any of the republicans... So, they sent a reporter to the US and gave him the sole purpose of asking Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton what they thought of Japan. They didn't set up an interview or attend a press conference...no, they had this guy stand in the crowd at various campaign speeches and shout his question as the candidates passed by. First, he was lucky enough to get close enough to Obama for his question--"What do you think of Japan?" to be heard, and Barack replied, "I love Japan." Well you can image how absolutely ecstatic everyone in the studio was when they heard that... "Oh my GOD!!! Barrack Obama loves Japan!!!!!! Oh my GOOOOOOODDDDDD," and the like. Next, he tried to ask Hillary as she walked passed and when she was close enough he shoutd out: "Mam, what is your expression of Japan?" No, that is not a typo, he actually said, "expression." Awesome. You send a correspondant with such poor English that he mixes up "expression" and "impression" to talk to, or rather shout at, two of the most high-profile people in the world...excellent job. Incidentally, Clinton's answer was "good." But, to be honest it was so crowded and noisy, and since his question really didn't make any sense, there is a pretty good chance that she was actually responding to a completely different person. But, that didn't stop the news from calling it a "miracle," yes, litereally, they said "Oh my God, a miracle occured! He was able to ask both Obama and Clinton if they like Japan, and both of them said they like Japan...it was a miracle!" And, I don't think I need to point out the ridiculousness of this entire situation.

*Update*
So, the most recent development in "One Pound Gospel" is: another man fell in love with Sister Angela, the nun that the main character is in love with, and this guy was trying to get her quit being a nun and marry him. So, apparently in Japan, nunneries are really just places for women to hang out, until they find the right man and leave to get married...just like any other job for women. But don't worry, by the end of the episode Sister Angela realized that in fact she actually DOES like the boxer...and confessed her love to him. Awesome...maybe I should enter a Japanese nunnery...if I do, I may actually be able to get a date.
