How many things are wrong with this photo?

--In this photo released by the Imperial Household Agency of Japan, Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito, left, Crown Princess Masako, right, and their daughter Princess Aiko pose with their pet dogs, Pippi, bottom right, and Mari, in their residence Togu Palace in Tokyo Monday, Feb. 12, 2007. Naruhito celebrates his 47th birthday Friday, Feb. 23, 2007.

Shoes on indoors!

[Marvin Feltcher]

Sorry!

[Doctor Stop]

Princess Aiko is wearing black do-rag whereas a rising sun do-rag would be more appropriate considering the faux informality of the event.

[Mulboyne]

I see Masako can't be trusted to hold the pets.

How about the pets have to be on a leash indoors?

[Marvin Feltcher]

Sorry!

Sorry!

Sorry!

The fact that both dogs are on a leash, Masako isn't holding either of them and that she is sitting with her legs together with her hands in her lap, suggests to me that she might have been indulging in some "super butter dog" anti-depression therapy and doesn't want a repeat performance in front of the official photographer.

Dogs gone, card table added...

Mon Dieu, I can't believe you wrote that, Mulboyne!

That said, your comment and Marvin's blame-the-farts-on-the-dogs post win the thread so far.

-catone
-what's up with that odd perforated plywood?

[Marvin Feltcher]

Sorry!

[Catoneinutica]

Mulboyne a clear winner! I read his comment about 10 minutes ago and am still laughing, even though I'm sitting at home by myself.



Even the Crown Prince agrees. As you can tell from this photo, he's just been reading this thread. Princess Aiko, though, was a bit embarrassed and is trying to snatch away the photos of her mother's therapy session before reporters can grab them.

Heh - "snatch" (in the context of M's depression-therapy post)

-catoneinutica
-began FG life as "dingosatemybaby," now considering move to "superbutterdog"
-wouldn't require a butter incentive for Masako (but that's another thread)

My eyes have been failing me recently, but does the Crown Prince have his left hand wrapped around something sticking out of his trousers or is that the dog leash?

Mrs. Palmer has been a bastion of support these past few years I'm sure. Maybe he thought he was in the lab to prepare for another crack at keeping the monarchy on his side of the family.

ROTFL

Perhaps her husband, while he is visiting FG, should read the "Why J-men won't give head" thread. If he really wants some constructive advice.
