If it is that morbid, what a great way to flush down a decade long franchise.

As she tells it in court papers filed in Siskiyou County, Bonjour and her boyfriend were enjoying a little hanky-panky. Then Bonjour felt what she described as an “intense, sharp pain in my vagina.”
Her boo quickly removed the toy, which was covered in blood, Bonjour said.
“I thought, very briefly, that I had started my period but as the bleeding continued getting heavier and heavier I knew it was not my period,” she wrote.
Bonjour started to get faint and her boyfriend called 911. Her son woke up.

Heh, if this "marital aid" company issues a recall, will people be able to just mail their defective devices back, or will they have to actually go back to the sex shop in person?

And how would news of a sex toy recall be issued? Would there be a newspaper or TV news story (risking the wrath of the Bible Belt)? Or, if people paid via credit card, would the company be able to dig up their phone numbers and/or email addresses so they could send them a life-saving but embarrassing message like this: "Good afternoon, Mr. or Mrs. X. We are aware that you recently purchased a Han-D-Rod brand vibrator and regret to inform you that the 6900 Model is being recalled after a tragic series of bedroom accidents. While we express our deepest shame and promise to offer a full refund, our 2012 catalog and a year's supply of Wonderlust (TM) Bedroom Oil, we appreciate your business and wish to remind you that if you need external stimuli for those tender moments, there's still no better choice than Love, Inc. (A division of Lockheed-Martin.)"

Fed up with Washington, wealthy boycott campaign fundraising

(Reuters) - They might not be among the jobless protesting against Wall Street, but the rich are angry, too. Furious over U.S. government gridlock, the wealthy have their own form of protest: Refusing to make political contributions.

How often do politicians shoot themselves in their own foot?

All this fuss over circumstantial evidence gathered by a stalker who followed her around like some CIA spook. I hope Aki-chan doesn't end up seeing her smashed merch and CD's online.

If this damages Aki's career at all, or if she has to shut down her blog or even move, I may have to hire a hitman to hunt down this stalker. >

(Yeah, I know this isn't exactly a "funny" story, but it doesn't seem serious enough for the "real" news section.)

It just got worse. One decided to actually get physical proof that they're living together by sending them recorded delivery letters:

If you thought that one of them stalking her home was creepy enough, this brings it to a whole new level.

What makes this even worse is that the guy sees nothing wrong with what he did.

Right now, I seriously hope that this isn't some belated April Fools' joke, or that there is more to this than SC tells us (for example, it being someone who is already close to Aki).

I wonder how many of her stalkers she's actually taller than.

I would say yes but, is kicking them at ''that place'' enough ? Would something else be more suited for such individual ?

PIs don't feel any wrong on the line of duty. If he is not a licensed private detective, good luck with him trying to explain to the NPA.

Would be a good idea, if the public would know it.

As some people on Sankaku pointed out, unfortunately the guy doesn't seem to have broken any laws. I would ask about mail fraud, but I don't know what Japan's laws are on that subject (heck, I don't have a clue about America's). He sent a misleading letter, but he didn't include any actual harrassing content, and then he blacked out the address in the picture.

I would be more worried about the fact that on 2ch, someone included a map and an advertisement for an apartment in that building.

not sure about Japan but in the US, this would be consider stalking. In the US, stalking is illegal.

With free arms laws, usually the police have to bring along a bodybag instead of handcuffs to deal with the stalker.
