[floatr][/floatr]Yomiuri: Therapy dogs to tour disaster-hit areas
A group of therapy dog trainers from Tokyo will begin a tour of areas hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake in mid-June, hoping close contact with dogs trained to provide affection and comfort will benefit quake survivors in evacuation centers. The planned tour comes after the International Therapy Dog Association visited evacuation centers in Ishinomaki and Onagawacho in Miyagi Prefecture from May 1 to May 3. Some evacuees were overcome with emotion and cried as they hugged the dogs, according to a member of the Chuo Ward, Tokyo-based association. The June plan is for five therapy dogs and six staff members to visit evacuation centers and makeshift houses. The association will take about two weeks to travel from Miyagi Prefecture to Aomori Prefecture...more...

Maybe the dogs are acting like coal mine canaries?

Some dogs have independently decided they are needed at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Pretty sure they can do a better job than the Tepco dunces anyway...

[Level3]

Comfort dogs, eh?

100 years from now when dogs have electronic brain implants and can talk to us, will they sue the Japanese govt. because great-great-great-great-grandbitch was exploited as a "comfort dog" in a radioactive fallout zone?

This clip reminded me of the original Survivors TV show from Britain in the 1970s...quick synopsis: 99% of the world's population is wiped out by a virus and society reverts to standards akin to medieval times. Cities plagued by diseases like cholera and domestic dogs gone wild take over the cuntryside, making all Britain something like the Fukushima Forbidden Zone...Sound like a premise for Yokoso Tohoku?

Not enough interest in Japan. Now if we were talking Butter Dogs......

Got some titles ?

Only knows Day of the triffids and the excellent Doomwatch... (old school XFiles... sort of)

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

I haven't looked for a couple of years, but it was on YouTube, with a bloke uploading new episodes once a week. I assume he's finished by now. It was remade a few years ago (and excellently, IMHO), but cancelled before it finished. The original series came to a decent conclusion, but I'll let you find that out for yourself...

[nikoneko]

Got some titles ?

Great great show. It ran 3 seasons and is available certain places. Here are the titles for season 1. I'll second that the remake is also good, but the original is a classic.

I'm finding the references to goats in every other thread quite monotonous.

If that's an indication of your counting skills, did it really take you 85?

Have you considered... just getting the fook out ?

Ok, so being the usual smartass that I usually are I just understood that 'survivors' WUZ the titul of the show.

Got the first episode of the original TV show, same kind of ambiance (old school Beeb TV shows) as Doomwatch. And unlike the Triffids, the 2008 remake sounds quite cool too...

I don't understand how I managed to miss this show as I follow horror/dystopian movies shows news as much as pr0n news.

Thanks a bajilion times guyz... the ideal show to watch while hiding under my desk between my survival gear and emergency food stocks...

(the remake have been heavily... patronized by Audi as usual... the scene with the rampaging R8 in the 1st episode are hillariously ridiculously out of place...)

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

You like dystopia and porn? Then, I recommend you read S.M. Stirling's "Domination of the Draka" series. Alternative history featuring a group of people unthinkably dastardly, but also with lots of girl-on-girl action.

I wrote a dystopian novel a few years ago, based in Japan. Now eerily prohpetic...it was based on a Japan turned into half a wasteland after a massive earthquake set off a chain reaction among nuclear reactors along the coastline (In the book, Japan solved the problem of radiation by building massive fans that blew it all over the Korean peninsula and Asian mainland...)The protagonist was a cross-dressing man who commits cunnilinguicide on the (female) prime minister and is aided in escape by a machine-gun wielding schoolgirl with a jack russell terrier that constantly shags the transvestite's leg. They travel across Japan encountering a series of way out events pursued by butch special police and a citizenry turned into zombies by their mobile phones before a final shootout in the only municipality in the cuntry to have officially declared itself to be a Tit City.
It was based on actual events....

Well, tonight's masturbation scenario is now set.

Well, tonight's masturbation scenario is now set.

Dunno mate...I tapped into my softer, gentler, more (dare I say it?) sensitive side when writing the story, so it's probably not real good for a wank.

With wymyn and trannies given such prominent roles in the story (men are rendered impotent by the radiation and the protaganist is nationally renowned for being one of the few males capable of erection, which is how he got to be tonguing the PM to death) I liked to think of it more as, well... cliterature.

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

While out having a durry, I just realized how pompous the above post may sound...it wasn't intentional.

But I was thinking that it may be worth a wank if by chance you've got any German blood in you because the unpublished novel was, frankly, a piece of shit...

[Iraira]

The sensitive side of cliterature is worthy of a Pulitzer. "I bid thee farewell m'lady, and I must say that of all the vag I've had the pleasure of sticking my tongue therein, yours is by far the one with the most sensuous flavor, with overtones of Bordeaux, and a slight hint of autumn rain lightly bouncing off the petals in the garden outside my childhood home, where I would insert my tongue into the neighborhood trollop after her weekly antibiotic infusion....."

Is it written in the above vein?

That must be fiction. The trollop in the neighborhood where I grew up tasted more like beer and mud, with a pinch of Red Man Beech Nut flavor...

Stupudenda!
Amid the tempest and maelstrom that flays the fabrics of my mind, my hand trembles at the prospect of conjuring such fluid and masterful prose as thine (actually, it's really shaking because I'm an alcoholic, but that's another story...).

As for the vein, it says "Ma" until I get excited, then you know it actually reads "Muvva." Thinking back, probably wasn't the smartest word or the smartest place to put it, but....youth is wasted on the young....

I don't see why I should. I contribute a lot more to conversation than you do with your fuckingly clumsy (not to say annoying) way of writing English with a French/Danish/and hindi accent.

You contribute to the forum the same way my cats contribute to their litterbox. Filling it with shit is what they (and you) are expected to do, but that don't make it a marvellous or even interesting experience for anyone...

Why Jack old man, I do believe the Coligny has just told you to take a flying fuck and a rolling donut! How many does that make now?

Holy shit, Jack. You're lucky he's not replying in his native language because Coligny's so-called French/Danish/Hindi just ripped you to shreds.
Definitely a case of Cool-igny.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Coligny again.
