I wonder if Japan is going through a cocaine phase like the US did in the 80s.

Had my laugh for the morning. Maybe they should have just left him alone and we would not have had to think about him anymore. Busted would have had a different meaning, I think.

It also gives new meaning to the phrase "Blow it out you're a**".
