Late Night Ignoring Asia

The DJ spun the crossing

A policeman on traffic duty at a busy scramble intersection in Tokyo's Shibuya district after the Japan-Australia World Cup qualifying match on June 4 has earned the nickname "DJ Policeman" from Internet users for his witty adlib announcements.
"Everyone, you are the 12th player," rang out the voice of the officer, who according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is in his 20s and belongs to the public relations section of a mobile unit of the security department.
"The police officers you see with stern faces aren't acting that way because they dislike you all. Inside, they are happy about the World Cup qualification," said the officer, sparking calls of support from nearby young people.

Perhaps he'll rock the Casbah next


This spy hit the campaign trail unfortunately for him 

Prosecutors decided to request an arrest warrant for a former chief of the national spy agency suspected of staging illegal campaigns for then-ruling party candidate Park Geun-hye ahead of last year’s presidential election. 
Officials at the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office told reporters yesterday that they will soon seek an arrest warrant for Won Sei-hoon, former head of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) under the Lee Myung-bak administration, on suspicion of attempting to sway public opinion in favor of Park and several state-run projects in 2012 ahead of the election. 

Who could ever imagine a spy being devious?  I mean hello!

Who are these people in the white masks?

Guy Fawkes-masked demonstrators on Thursday rallied near Government House to demand the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi for making insulting remarks against opponents of the government.
About 200 members of V for Thailand, or white mask movement, converged at Chamai Maruchet Bridge, near Government House, to show their opposition to the Yingluck Shinawatra-led administration.
The group accused Mr Plodprasop of “acting inappropriately” toward opponents of the government's 350-billion-baht water management scheme and demanded Ms Yingluck dismiss her deputy from all of his positions of responsibility. 
On May 12, Mr Plodprasop described activists who planned to protest at the Asia-Pacific Water Summit in Chiang Mai as "rubbish" and threatened to put them in jail.
