Apparently in crazy ol' Japan it's not generally a good thing to promote your country being hit by nuclear bombs. Oddly, it's ever worse if the person saying it is a high-ranking minister in your government. And your leader is facing a vote in four weeks. I have no idea how the Japanese political system works, so I'm just going to assume that's bad. Voting, what's that?

'Four weeks before a crucial parliamentary election that could decide Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s political fate, his gaffe-prone defense minister was today forced to resign after making comments apparently justifying the United States’ use of atomic bombs against Japan during World War II. In a public appearance on Saturday — the unofficial start of the campaign for the upcoming election — Mr. Kyuma said that dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 “ended the war,” adding, “I think that it couldn’t be helped.”'

This seems akin to going to a KKK meeting and saying "you know, I think Jews are pretty cool... have you tried matzo balls?"

In other news, the KKK has been pretty successful recently. Of course, I am referring to the Kaana Kaanum Kaalangal. What did you think I meant?

"MUMBAI: Kaana Kaanum Kaalangal; a series on school life, which airs Monday - Thursday at 8pm gave the viewers an alternate viewing breaking the pattern of the melodrama; has created a phenomenon with a huge fan following among the youth and the elderly alike."

Hilarious.
