Japanese sensation Tsuyoshi Kusanagi was arrested in a public park this weekend. You might remember him from the pop group SMAP. That is is your old school otaku.  He was naked and screaming at the top of his lungs.  He questions the arresting officer with “Whats wrong with being naked?”

Tsuyoshi is most known for his fame in South Korea also the most active member of the group.  Due to this mishap, major corporate sponsors are pulling adds that feature the star. The Japanese government has expressed its disapproval of the stars action, being that he was the face of the country switching to digital television.

Hell get naked. I thought it was cool in Japan?

Tsuyoshi’s agency issued this public apology, “We apologize deeply for the trouble and worry caused to everyone, especially his fans,” the agency said in a faxed statement, adding that it would make a further announcement on Kusanagi’s future career.”

iTouch: The next killing machine. and i thought I was tough.

The hottest new battlefield weapon in Baghdad is also a hot item on the home front.

iPod Touch is proving to be a valuable tool to members of the U.S. military, according to a report in Newsweek.

The report notes that the iPod performs many functions in this time of “networked warfare,” enabling soldiers to be linked with other soldiers, as well as intelligence resources, such as aerial images from drones and translation software.

Soldiers can use applications to add translated phrases to maps and photos, as well as show villagers video messages from local leaders. A new program called Vcommunicator translates spoken and written Arabic, Kurdish, as well as two Afghan languages.

Another application developed for the iPhone allows soldiers to take a photo of a street sign, upload it, and immediately receive intelligence on the local area, such as water and sympathizers. Because new recruits are already familiar with how the iPod and iPhone work, it’s also easier to train soldiers on loading content, the report notes.

Oh yeah, this rugged device, which retails for less than $230, was developed in the private sector without taxpayer money. Considering the military’s history of being charged for $435 hammers, $640 toilet seats, and $7,600 coffeemakers by contractors, this is a great deal.
