 Japan Lawmakers Scolded for Reading Comics

TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi scolded rookie lawmakers Thursday for reading comic books and talking on their cell phones during legislative sessions, according to a newspaper report.

   

The national Asahi newspaper said Koizumi scolded 30 first-term lawmakers from his Liberal Democratic Party during a luncheon.


"Don't send e-mail on your cell phones or read comic books in Parliament while in session," Koizumi was quoted as saying.


"You can be seen very clearly from the prime minister's seat. You should really stop that ? it's disgraceful."


Koizumi's office said he hosted a luncheon Thursday, but it could not immediately confirm his comments.


Comic books, often with adult themes, are common reading material for middle-aged men. Japan's younger generation also is hooked on using cell phones to send e-mail.


The country's youngest lawmakers sit in the front of Parliament, while their elders sit in the back of the chamber.

Reading comic books while in session, huh? I don't blame the guy for shcewing em out if he did.  This sounds like moral decay of their society at the highest level.  I say we start a program to immigrate all those beautiful Japanese ladies over here to the US.  We must, uh....preserve their proud culture and heritage.  Yeah, that's it...   Who's with me?

P.S.  I like Latinas...
....And apparently Asian ladies as well...

Well, do you know the secret handshake?

Just kidding. You need to PM Ann and ask for access.
