Je vais donc écrire un petit article (marrant si possible) pour mettre un peu de gaieté sur ce joueb où souffle la révolte.

- ... ... ... BoingBoing pal Geisha Asobi points us to Takako Umemiya's NYO-TA-I-MO-RI-Project (Link), and says, "She is very funny!!!!" I don't speak or read Japanese, but maybe a better-educated BoingBoing reader can contribute a partial translation.
