I just got the following email from the study abroad office at my University. Please post suggestions for a response in the comments section. Let’s see who can get the best combination of goofy and believable.

  1. Brainstoming here…
    * An ACLU-style organization tried to challenge this big stick enforcement with a lawsuit, but the suit was dismissed because of article 104 of the Constitution which explicitly gives police stick-crowbarring authority.
    * It is the largest cause of injuries in 14 of Japan’s 47 prefectures.
    * There were 142 deaths in 2003 and 118 deaths in 2002 from heavy-handed “enormous stick” tactics by local train authorities.
