Judgment Day for Japan

Judgement Day

I thought TBS news had the coolest and most ridiculous graphics/music for its election coverage. I was wrong. Fuji TV has raised (or lowered?) the bar by adding Terminator music and the title JUDGMENT DAY to its election news:

Get ready, Japan: Skynet will be attacking us tomorrow! I hope everyone has stockpiled enough weapons to deal with the hordes of killer robots.

NYTimesで鳩山の論文が掲載されて、アメリカ国内の知識人達が
その内容に偉く驚いていたようだけど、鳩山馬鹿だから日本が
アメリカドルを支えないと、奴の大好きな中国も致命傷を負う
事を分かってないらしい。中国が一番保有している外貨はアメ
リカドルで、中国元の価値はアメリカドルの価値を担保にして
るからね。そんな訳で日本がアメリカドルを支えないと、日本
、アメリカ、中国の3カ国が共倒れして、最悪の場合WW3の引き金
を引く事になるかもね。

さてこれから投票に行ってまいります。ノシ

Both stations got killed in the election coverage ratings by NTV because viewers stayed tuned in after 24 hr TV which conveniently fell on election night:
