Utilitarianism, green and white
23 07 2008Again with the philosophy… I don’t know how doing something in one’s own interest matters when it comes to inhaling buring leaves while failing to recognize its impact on others and how that would translate into a catchy sign affixed to outdoor ashtrays. Oh wait, you meant egotism not egoism? A socially cognisant sign created by a multi-billion dollar tobacco corporation with its main focus on egoism? RANDom as a run-on sentence.

He wasn’t just a vacuum salesman
10 07 2008So with Japan incinerating 80% of their garbage and cities like Yokohama having instructions on how to dispose of such garbage items like “lipstick tubes” and “mis-matched socks” this seems like an easy way to eliminate bureaucracy for the garbage collection yakuza. A chicken in every pot and a stand ashtray in every garage indeed.

Waiting for Cancer
2 07 2008And here is why so many salarymen decide to cause “Human Accidents” on the subways and trains of Japan. After a stressful 13 hours at the office they head out for a cigarette only to be confronted by some existentialist question that would make Camus wish he’d have written about Japanese signwriters instead of Algerian brothers. Hakuin Ekaku applauds; single handedly.
