Groping pregnant women shouldn’t be what’s it about

Posted in Tokyo on January 31st, 2010

Groping pregnant women shouldn’t be what’s it about
On Jan. 14, 36-year-old comedian Sayaka Aoki made her last TV appearance before taking some time off to have a baby. The appearance was on Fuji TV’s noontime variety show “Waratte Ii to mo” (”It’s OK to laugh”), where she was a semiregular. The show’s host, Tamori, placed his hands on Aoki’s belly as a way of “praying for an auspicious birth,” but it wasn’t the first time contact had been made with her bulge. For more than a month prior to her “maternity leave,” Aoki was letting everybody cop a feel. On another Fuji TV variety show, “Uchi Kuru,” where she herself was the cohost, she even got young kabuki star Kantaro to lay his hands on her after she had pulled her pants down so that the baby bump would be more accessible. Kantaro didn’t seem to know what to do so he simply did as he was told.
A pin (solo) comedian, Aoki made it on TV with an extroverted personality and looks that are considered not conventionally pretty. As such she is given license for crude exhibitions that include baring her butt when the occasion calls for it. And since such female stars are deemed unmarriagable in the peculiar world of television, her union with a notably unfamous dancer was topical for a time, but not as topical as her subsequent pregnancy, which she made the most of for as long as she could.


Checkmates and imbalances are derailing Obama’s bid for change
When historians look back on the Obama administration, they may deem the senatorial election in Massachusetts on Jan. 19, 2010, to have been the pivotal event determining its destiny.
That day, conservative Republican Scott Brown handsomely defeated liberal Democrat Martha Coakley to become the state’s first republican senator in almost 40 years — and that despite the president’s personal intervention in Coakley’s campaign. This event will, I believe, impact not only this year’s midterm congressional elections but also the 2012 presidential election.

April Nightlife

Hi all,

Hope you can help me, myself and a friend are very close to booking a 10 day holiday to Miami, we are both from London and have never been to Miami before, so we have a couple of questions about the nightlife.

We are looking at coming over on the 13th April and plan to go out partying every night, so what we want to know is how busy are the clubs during weekdays? are they all open? same for the bars? basically is it a 7 day a week party place?

Also how strict are the clubs on dress code (i.e. shoes not trainers/shirt not T-shirt), one last thing, would of all the spring break festivities ended by April 13th?

Sorry for all the questions, but it?s our first time to Miami so we want to know what to expect, if anyone can help us with these questions it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

New Clubs in Miami Beach?opinions anyone?

There 12.  That?s where the old Hed Kandi was on the corner of 12th and Washington,  and Klutch   3rd and Collins, and I heard another opened on 8th and Washington (The Club Black hole Area!)    I haven?t been to any yet.  But my friend bartends at 12 and said the grand opening party last week went really well and it was a classy high end crowd. I?ve heard Klutch was not so great,  a little on the ghetto side and young.

Anyone have any opinions on any of these if they?ve been there,  I?d love to hear
