....And it looks to be [that PM Hato is] the only one having a good time.

Being that the the wild, cold, overcast, and intermittent rain has made hanami parties not much fun in Kanto this year, it's amazing people wanted to come to his party since he wasn't even serving beer.

Yup seems to be having fun, and also seems to know how to handle a bbq cooking plate... Guess his wife is to busy chasing aliens to cook at home...

But for a guy who's 1rst political scandal was irregular political donations... from his mum... that's quite unsurprising...

Hey, Hatoyama is styling on us by ironically-wearing 1990 vintage Versace, which is normally reserved for hipsters like Lada Gaga and myself.

When will these morons learn that frying noodles on a hotplate does not a BBQ make?

Japan's prime minister under fire for fashion choices
CNN.com ...May 12, 2010
...[color="Gray"]{fashion/art}[/color] critic Don Konishi...the multi-colored, is a throwback to the 1980s fashion disaster, Konishi explained. He noted the prime minister's red, yellow, green, purple and blue-checked plaid shirt. The critic wrote a public condemnation about the shirt in a national magazine and warned the country that the multi-colored get-up represented what the poll numbers already show: Hatoyama is out of touch.
"This shirt comes from the '80s or '90s. His ideas and philosophy are old. Japan is facing a crisis and we can't overcome it with a prime minister like this."
apos;s the latest crime in a long fashion rap sheet, said Konishi, as he highlighted other multi-colored shirts, mauve coats, and what Konishi calls the biggest faux pas -- the hearts and pink blazer outfit...more...

In may previous life working in as a civil servant in a research institute I noticed that you could almost alway tell when a PhD got their doctorate because it was the last suit they ever bought. Similarly, the casual dress of Japanese politicians gives you a rough idea of their best sold by date.

Nice job hotlinking that image.

It's in your image cache now so you probably still see the original image but to everyone else it looks like this:

Guys - please do not hotlink.. upload images to FG and post inside the img tag.

Lots of time and effort and money have gone into providing you all with server space to upload your images.

Hotlinking is just not cool.

Guys

Why the plural? No hotlink in my post.

I wouldn't if FG would lax a bit more on the file size (especially for gif files...)

Guys, girls, goats - it was a generic plea to all who use the board.

Japan's prime minister, his poll numbers sagging over a row with Washington, may have caused his popularity to dive even further among fashionistas with a garish 1980s-style shirt.

Yukio Hatoyama donned a long-sleeved checked shirt designed in large blocks of red, blue, yellow, green and purple during a recent meet-the-people barbecue promoted as the "Real Hato Cafe".

Fashion critic Don Konishi wasn't laughing and lashed out at the premier's fashion crime in a national magazine and on the airwaves.

"Is anyone able to stop him wearing such a thing?" Konishi asked in an irate commentary about the offending shirt.

"It's too old. It's out of date. He doesn't have his own style."

The PM scored a landslide election victory last year, but his poll ratings have since fallen into the low 20s due to a row over an unpopular US airbase and criticism of his sometimes dithering, collegiate style.

To Konishi, the shirt was the final straw as he predicted the demise of Hatoyama's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) government.

"It seems the DPJ is over with this shirt," he said.
