Sad news from Japan: An arsonist set fire to Osaka's Cats Adult Video Theater early Wednesday morning, killing 15 people. (Apparently, such theaters are popular overnight resting spots for young people and for businessmen who miss their trains.) Police have arrested a 46-year-old man who admitted to setting the blaze--by which he intended to kill himself, telling police that he was "tired of living". Which is never a reaction we've had watching porn, no matter how bad it's been. (w/video @ NHK.or.jp, via AVN)
