Crisis spokesman drinks decontaminated water

Update: Crisis spokesman signed by Mitsui Fudosan to pitch oceanfront Tochigi properties.

Further Update: Crisis spokesman's tongue and teeth fall out.....

I saw this on the tube last night.
Even if the water was benign (it was probably tap water) I can't get over what a stupid fucking stunt that was.
Irresponsible and just plain stupid.

Darwin called... he askeded me to tell you to stop fucking with his new business strategy...

If he calls again, tell him he needs to be a bit more subtle.

[Coligny]

Told him...

He actually said...

Nothing in fact, he just burst out laughing and hang up...

I have to side with him... No matter how big, bold and stupid... everything is swallowed hook line and sinker... so why bother with carefully crafted deception when you can basically go and tell people to eat sh1t and they do it...

Not really sure where to put this...but it fits here as well as anywhere.

[SIZE="4"]The costly fallout of tatemae and Japan's culture of deceit[/SIZE]

<snip>
Let me illustrate the effects of socially accepted lying another way: What is considered the most untrustworthy of professions? Politics, of course. Because politicians are seen as personalities who, for their own survival, appeal to people by saying what they want to hear, regardless of their own true feelings.

That is precisely what tatemae does to Japanese society. It makes everyone into a politician, changing the truth to suit their audience, garner support or deflect criticism and responsibility.

Again, uso mo hoben: As long as you accomplish your goals, lying is a means to an end. The incentives in Japan are clear. Few will tell the truth if they will be punished for doing so, moreover rarely punished for not doing so.

No doubt a culturally relativistic observer would attempt to justify this destructive dynamic by citing red herrings and excuses (themselves tatemae) such as "conflict avoidance," "maintaining group harmony," "saving face," or whatever. Regardless, the awful truth is: "We Japanese don't lie. We just don't tell the truth."

This is not sustainable. Post-Fukushima Japan must realize that public acceptance of lying got us into this radioactive mess in the first place.

For radiation has no media cycle. It lingers and poisons the land and food chain. Statistics may be obfuscated or suppressed as usual. But radiation's half-life is longer than the typical attention span or sustainable degree of public outrage...

Japan Radiation ALERT- Fukushima Nuclear Reactors DEADLY Fallout PROVEN

Oct. 31 2011- ALERT-Scientific evidence now PROVES radiation in Japan has been (and is) at deadly levels. Please see supporting document links below.
Ironically, on Oct. 27, 2011 Japanese parents STILL living with their CHILDREN in Fukushima prefecture who have ALL now absorbed 8 MONTHS of this deadly radiation spent the afternoon "debating" whether or not to evacuate.......
In addition to refusing to accept personal responsibility for evacuating their OWN kids (or themselves for that matter) --these citizens continue to subject their kids to deadly fallout each and every day ---and waste their time (& their children's lives) "trying to talk govt officials into issuing an evacuation order".......
In my opinion, there might be times in life when "Playing the Blame Game" (rather than taking personal responsibility for one's own actions) is an affordable luxury. When children are involved however ALL games stop (don't they?) and personal responsibility for the health and safety of one's OWN CHILDREN would be The Parent's #1 Priority.
If the adults who have continued to live within Fukushima prefecture (or even Tokyo from the evidence presented above in this video & that's been presented all around the world in a million languages for months and months now) --if these adult citizens wish to continue living in these areas -and reap the obvious consequences --that's their decision and their priviledge I guess--
The children located in these areas should NOT have to endure the obvious consequences of their "parents" decisions however---there is no parent on earth who has the right to subject their children to these consequences. Period.
After 8 months (of doing nothing to protect their own children).....we have parents blaming the govt.....their children are dying and their blaming.....
It's like standing in the middle of a burning home (with your children all beside you of course)and blaming the firemen? Blaming the city officials where the building's located? omg omg...
Here it is--Fukushima parents blaming govt officials---Oct. 27, 2011
Japanese government still refusing to evacuate Fukushima children

Oops. Sorry SJ. But mine had pictures!

"We Japanese don't lie. We just don't tell the truth."

Amazing!

[Samurai_Jerk]

Amazing!

I might agree except that was a Debito article.

[Coligny]

That shit has been going on for weeks but I just noticed the trefoil symbol...

(Fukushima... good for th3 local business...)

Dayam, those your pics? Can't get more in your face than that!

Taken today... on the road from the municipal hospital. I think it's a metal container production company.

Glad to see they have tight security.

They are just making empty buckets... you'd need a forklift to steal them... and they are a bit hard to hide... or resell...

Ahhhh, I was thinkin' they were storing filled containers there in plain sight. Insane blunder in any country but TIJ. Speaking of which, I noticed 2 brand new, unmarked, super shiny tankers on the highways yesterday. Maybe I'm paranoid but never seen them like that before...

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Stay in Death Land and you are going to die soon.

Radiation kills viruses and bacteria.

Look at this page, see how the reading goes up and down through the day. If you are looking for things to worry about you can just register the high readings and ignore the low ones. Then the stress you are causing yourself will to ruin your health.

The significance of Xenon isotope ratios in the Fukushima catastrophe

The significance of Xenon isotope ratios in the Fukushima catastrophe

Chris Busby PhD 5th November 2011

Recently, measurements were reported for Xenon and other radio nuclides in the environment of the Fukushima reactors. A copy of the handout of TEPCO press conference is available here:http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu/fukushima-np/images/handouts_111102_01-j.pdf

It shows:

Kr-85 4.4 x 10E-1 Bq/cm3
Xe-131m 6.9 x 10E-4 Bq/cm3
Xe-133 1.4 x 10E-5 Bq/cm3
Xe-135 1.2 x 10E-5 Bq/cm3

Because nuclear fission processes create a range of radioactive products and because these nuclides have different half lives, it is possible to employ ratios of certain nuclides to show whether fission is occurring and also whether the fission is from a relatively slow controlled process or from an explosive criticality (a bomb or nuclear explosion) where the production rates are much higher. The method was employed recently to show that the Chernobyl reactor accident was caused by a nuclear explosion and not a hydrogen explosion. There is no doubt about this, the Xenonisotope ratios measured in St Petersburg shortly after the plume arrived there made it clear that there was a nuclear explosion.

Similar questions arise in the case of the Fukushima explosions, especially that in Reactor 3, and I have already explained elsewhere that I believe that a prompt criticality may have been involved there.

Continued...

In other words, Death Land is about to vaporized!

WOOOOooooooo! HOOOooo!

Thug, you ain't going to get anything but votes of confidence in your movement, if all you're going to report on is drivel coming from the various anti-nuclear movement peoples.

You and your often quoted twins from off-shore sources are simply drowning the airwaves for those of us who live in Japan. Your off-base and mostly inaccurate facts cause more trouble or problems than if you didn't post them at all. They dilute the flow of information and prevent any actual and accurate information from getting disseminated to those of us who live here.

I say this assuming you mean well and that you're not the flaming troll you come off like....

Thuggy...is this the person who issued such an expert opinion on Fukushima?

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2000/03/05/0000026731

Never wrote that she was an "expert." You wrote that, not me. I only wrote that she has lived in Tokyo for 30 years. The fact that she is a popular professional writer about Japan and contemporary Japanese culture definitely gives her much more credence than the likes of you and all the other rocket scientist Challengers here. Both you and Greji "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-goat_sexual_intercourse]The Human&#8211] Dood" need to go and find your reading glasses. You two have obviously become severely impaired in the comprehension of your own native languages, and overall self awareness.
