Japan Tobacco sues Thailand over cigarette packaging

Japan Tobacco is suing the Thai government over plans to introduce bigger and more prominent anti-smoking warnings on cigarette packets, the company said Wednesday, as rival Philip Morris vows similar action.
The Tokyo-based firm, one of the world’s biggest cigarette companies, with brands including Winston and Benson & Hedges, said the planned changes from Thailand’s public health ministry would interfere with its operations in the kingdom.
Thailand has decided to extend health warnings from 50 to 85% on both sides of every cigarette packet sold in the country. The new rule is to come into effect in October, but Japan Tobacco said the change would have a “disproportionate impact on legitimate competition, intellectual property rights and freedom of expression”.

Religion is the opiate of the masses


It is quite ironic that back in the 1980s, the Lu family owned the only Bible in their area China’s Anhui Province. But now, China has become one of the largest exporters of Christian Bibles.

Amity Printing was founded in the 1980s and is in ties with United Bible Societies (UBS), an organization aimed at providing access to Christian literature across the world.

In its first year, Amity published about 500,000 Bibles, and in 2012, it produced a total of 12 million Bibles, and New Testaments. With 600 workers today, they aim to print 18 million copies a year, in different languages and versions.

Nothing like exporting Bibles to those heathen Westerners. Maybe they can export Communism next?


Entertainers Gone Wild

The Defense Ministry has embarked on an audit of the entertainment corps after a series of misbehaviors by the coddled stars in its ranks made headlines. The ministry is reportedly considering an end to assigning celebrities to exclusive entertainment duties.
Some soldiers in the corps reportedly drank alcohol until midnight after a performance in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province on June 21. They included Lee Sang-cheol, known as Sangchu, and Choi Dong-wook, a pop star more commonly known as Se7en, who left their motel at 2:30 a.m. and were caught visiting an adult massage parlor.
