Japanese Man Lives In Airport For No Reason

It sounds like someone took Tom Hank's role in Terminal too seriously.

Japanese citizen, Hiroshi Nohara, has decided to live in the Mexico City airport for 3 months and with apparently no reason. Since September 2, his home has been in the terminal and he has survived off food and clothing donations from travelers and airport shops lookin for advertising. In his own words, he claims to have no reason for staying so long:
"I don't understand why I'm here," he said through a visiting interpreter originally hired by a television station. "I don't have a reason."

He is now a minor celebrity in the city, as his refusal to go home has ignited the city's imagination. Neither Mexican or Japanese authorities have been able to help persuade him to leave and he may stay put until his visa runs out in Early March.

9 Sickeningly Sexist Ads

Ah, misogyny, one of the final frontiers of terrible, terrible inequalities in our society. It's amazing that only in the 60's sexism was so prevailent in advertising. Sometimes you see ads these days and think how prejudiced they are, but seeing these makes me think "thank god for the advancements in our society." Maybe in another 40 years sexism really will be totally gone from the marketing industry, but I doubt it.
