UnNews talk:Entire Toyota Board Commits Hara-Kiri

The subject of hara-kiri leapt to my mind in the first days of the huge Toyota vehicle recall, but that's because I'm a creature of cheap stereotype. There was no way to put such racism into words cleverly--until today's AP story about a fractious press conference in Tokyo, an AP story that, as I report, could not seem to get it straight whether it was the gas pedal or the brake pedal. The difference between Toyota and Toyoda is explained in the AP story, but the vision of a press conference with evasions, raised tempers, and then you-know-what become too vivid to let pass.
