Late Night Ignoring Asia


Racists to continue being racists
Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto and former Tokyo Gov Shintaro Ishihara have decided to stay on as co-leaders of the Nippon Ishin No Kai (Japan Restoration Party), despite its heavy defeat in Sunday’s Tokyo metropolitan assembly election. Hashimoto had suggested last week that he would step down as co-leader of the party if it fared badly in the election. The Japan Restoration Party won just two seats, which Hashimoto acknowledged was due to the storm over his remarks on Japan’s wartime military brothels. However, he told reporters Monday that now was not the time to quit and that he wanted to focus his efforts on the crucial July 21 upper house election. “I take responsibility for the results in the Tokyo election, but I am asking the public to give us a mandate in the upper house election. We cannot let the LDP take control of both houses of the Diet,” he said at a news conference, TBS reported.

So how do you roll?

A chance encounter on the roads of Thailand led Mike Swift to take a video of a biker so awesomely weird that he put it out on YouTube as soon as possible. At first you’ll notice the pet bird which obediently flies alongside the woman as she rides, which is wild enough, but you’ll soon find that this little half-minute clip is deceptively deep.
