"When we walked outside, I thought that I might say something dramatic, something cutting, something like “You realize that you are destroying our country.” But I didn’t. He is our country after all, or one face of our country: hyper-optimistic and overconfident, ignorant of history and fond of myths, firm in the belief that we alone are the exceptional nation and we alone have access to exceptional truths. Safe in his absolute certainty, he got into his black SUV and drove away."

The director for the Olympics opening ceremony, comedian Kentaro Kobayashi, has had his contract terminated just a day before the games kick off, after a 1998 comedy sketch surfaced in which he joked about the Holocaust.
Olympic Organizing Committee president Seiko Hashimoto announced the move during a press conference on Thursday, saying Kobayashi had been fired and that officials would undertake a last-minute “review” of the opening and closing ceremonies, both of which were meant to be directed by the comedian.

“It has come to our notice that Mr. Kobayashi used comments that made fun of a tragic fact in history in his past performance,” Hashimoto said, but added that she would not resign over the scandal.

The controversial joke that landed Kobayashi in hot water came during a sketch performed with his comedy duo, the Ramens, in which he reportedly made an offhand remark about playing a Holocaust ‘game,’ though some Japanese-fluent netizens have disputed the exact context of the gag.

Excerpt from the article:

Fallen film mogul Harvey Weinstein was transferred at a New York prison Tuesday morning into the custody of officials for extradition to California, where he faces trial for serious sex crimes.

Weinstein, who has been locked up in New York serving a 23-year prison sentence since his conviction in 2020 for sex offenses in Manhattan, in June was ordered extradited to California by a judge in Erie County, New York.

The 69-year-old is charged in Los Angeles with rape, sexual battery and other crimes in connection with five incidents that allegedly occurred between 2004 and 2013 in Los Angeles.

He faces up to 140 years in prison if convicted in the Los Angeles cases.

My own comments:

Ho Lee Fuk, they really throw the book at you for sex offences in the current year, don't they? Do you think he will serve all 23 years in jail, or will there be a 'twist' in this story? Personally, I think this is a good example of the Left eating itself alive; the Jewish mafia don Weinstein promoted feminism and other woke nonsense and now he is face backlash for it. But, I'm guessing that he will be pardoned at some point, simply because of his name.

Why are journalists obsessed with asking stupid questions?
