Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

THINGS THEY DON'T TEACH US IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS:

The actual anniversary was yesterday.

65 years ago the United States committed a war crime against Japan by firebombing ordinary citizens in Tokyo.

100,000 civilians died by explosion and fire, the largest number from any attack during the entirety of the war.

I wish I could be surprised that war crimes like this were ignored during/after the the hostilities ended, not to mention that as part of an agreement signed by Japan in 1951, nobody in that country could sue over it being a war crime. But I'm not surprised.

100,000 civilians dead, simply for the crime of being citizens in a country at war. Save for the usual warmonger cries of "they should have stopped their government" or "destabilizing a population is part of war," there was little-to-no significant military reasons for the attack.

This article is from five years ago, but it tell you what you NEED to know.

MARCH 10, 1945: The Firebombing of Tokyo

Thank you, g0dz17la , for pointing me to this trailer.

I'd heard about this movie but did not know that such a beautiful preview was available.

I'm sorry, Speed Racer trailer, but I've found someone else.

WARNING: I WILL HAVE ACTUAL SEX WITH THIS FILM.



If only see a blank space above:

a) Update your browser / flash, or
b) Just click here

A statue of the "Witchblade Bikini Armor," apparently for use against villains who only want to shoot you in the nipples or the bo-jina.



Or the coccyx. Man, not enough jokes get made about the coccyx...



Also, would you prefer the deforestation cookies with endangered pink rabbit:



Or would you like some ChocoThinThin?



The former tastes like any other cookie/chocolate thing Japan produces.
The latter is delicious...because the box has 19 g. of fat (including 6 of saturated fat and 4.9 of trans fat).

Also, Sara's eye is starting to feel a little bit better. At least it's not tearing up all the time.

Now that spring is here
Who wants to be a robot?
Everybody.

According to Peter Payne over at J-List, the Japanese title for The A-Team is much cooler.

Special Bastard Squad A-Team.

Discuss.
