Obligatory Japanese News Link of the Day
If you’re a Japanews Bloghound, you’ve doubtlessly seen this article linked to no less than five times today: More Japanese men prefer sitting whizzes I just want to know one thing: If you think so many Japanese men are sitting on Western-style toilets to take a leak, WHY DO I SEE SO MANY OF THEM PISSING ON THE STREET FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYONE TO SEE?
