This show focuses on such ridiculous topics as: Governor Ishihara banning Hanami in Tokyo The same Governor declaring that the quake was divine retribution The University of Kyoto banning cosplay at their graduation Insipid post quake PSA Commercials And the Internet’s attempt to turn them into Giant Robots Simpsons Censorship in Europe and the SWITL: Magic Goop Scoop So sit back, grab a beer and watch the funny once again bloom over the alleys of our podcast.
