Organizing committee president Seiko Hashimoto said a day ahead of the opening ceremony that director Kentaro Kobayashi has been dismissed. Kobayashi used a joke about the Holocaust in his comedy act, including the phrase "Let's play Holocaust."


Why would you do that in this day and age?

Oh wait. He said that in 1998!!!! In another century!!

Ok, that is ridiculous. People can change their views with time, or become more sensitive to others, and the context of humor, in particular is supposed to be irreverent and provocative.

Now THAT would be an opening ceremony. Every participating country has a representative compete in a hotdog eating competition.

I suppose this is the random statement they can jump on from 23 years ago? (Or is there more?)

They also forced the composer to quit because he bullied other students when he was a kid.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

The good news is eventually everyone will be canceled within the next 5 years with the ever changing criteria these people have. Then we can just break all the computers and go back to the 90's.

Man, we've been over there only a week or two and our cancerous culture has already ruined Japan.

Job well done, America! We've beat them again!

This is what they mean when they say that Leftism is a religion that has no provision for redemption.
