    Couldn't they have done this cheaper and without all the panic just by using Photoshop/Photochop?

    "Given that addresses are essentially useless in Tokyo..."


    Why is that (honest question)?

    @Andre Goersch: It's not that their addresses are useless, they just work a bit different. Tokyo was left in ruins twice last century and build up rather liberally, so it can be quite a maze, plus their streets have no names... Check Planet Tokyo if you are interested in how it works.

    @ara: where the streets have no names? does U2 have to involve themselves in everything? they can't even count.

    There was once a woman who was upset about planes flying overhead because it was possible that one or more of the passengers aboard may be photographing her back yard. She lived in constant fear of the windows that provided clear views of her outdoor living space because it all invaded invaded her personal space.

    @Kaiser-Machead: There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
    She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
    She gave them some broth without any bread;
    Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Did this same woman also swallow a fly? Not that we'd know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die.

    @i heart galaga_Nick: Then they grew up and left her alone.

    Then all contact was broken, except for the phone.

    She'd call FAA 'bout the planes overhead

    She'd call 'til they griped and wished her ass dead.

    She shot in the sky with her machine gun, 12 gauge

    And her aim was impressive, in spite of her age

    She claimed her first airline, a Delta no less

    But her antics would not go unnoticed, my guess

    Eventually SWAT surrounded her shoe

    But this crafty old biddy knew just what to do

    She fashioned herself a cylinder filled,

    With manure and wood shavings, and lots more in there still

    As they busted her door, she lit the match

    And the rest is yours to assume, natch

    @pnizzle: I would say no since they have been altered in some way, which detroys the chain of custody/integrity of the photo.

    Well, what with the rampant lolitastic things that go on over there, I can certainly understand their gripe.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the word you're looking for is lolistic. Kinda like holistic, but funnier.

    @admoseremic: Lolistic pertains to the ideas within lolism, or the belief in loli. Lolitastic simply expresses the stupendously outrageous nature of loli, like craptastic, and the sort.
