Some Headlines from Kyodo News

I'm so tired of looking for blog-fodder from the news sites of failed states. Let's have something from a functioning capitalist country. Like Japan!

Kaneko Sangyo unveils portable toilet for car passengers
Kaneko Sangyo Co. said Oct. 23 it has developed a portable toilet for use inside a car that totally conceals the user with a curtain. The new ''Kurumarukun'' toilet is the first ever model of its kind small enough to fit inside a car, the Aichi Prefecture-based manufacturer of plastic car accessories said.
Can you use it while driving? Or do you have to pull over? Follow the link for a picture of the thing.

The next headline doesn't seem to have an accompanying article:

Ex-Meat Hope president arrested over false labeling of meat products

That's probably just as well.

Finally, did you know they were still making Zeppelins?

JTB planning Zeppelin NT airship cruises over Tokyo:
A Zeppelin NT, the world's largest airship, flies past the Roppongi Hills building in Tokyo on Oct. 23. JTB Corp. said the same day it will offer cruises over Tokyo aboard a Zeppelin NT between Nov. 23 and Jan. 5.
