Why does ANN run this kind of story again? If the arrest is about piracy, then it has some relevance, but I'm not exactly sure what the point of this is... maybe it's just for the sake of being ridiculous. Confused

It is an "interest" story, not a news article. It is marked as such.

Yeah, I know that. I was just saying that it didn't seem interesting enough to warrant posting. Razz

And now I've posted thrice on it so I suppose my point is moot.

Interest is basically anything related to Japan or anime in any manner that some people might find interesting. I shared it on Facebook without even reading it because I found it interesting.

anyway

Excuse my language, but what an arsehole!


Props to his friend though, they're a really reliable person!

Well, it has a Pokemon imprinted 3DS system. Never heard of that, so that by itself is really interesting.

What I don't get though is why people are trying to control what others get to hear. It's not like we are being buried in news now, then you might have a point. If it is not interesting to you, then don't read it, but don't try to limit what the rest of us can see.

The culprit was sentenced to receive a very stern lecture and 20 vicious smacks to the back of the head. At least that's what I would have given him.
