After posting a desperate plea request for votes last week in the hope of avoiding a last place finish in the Asia Blog Awards, I was pleasantly surprised to not only see Tokyo Times move from the bottom of the heap, but straight in to first position. Sadly (and perhaps inevitably) I’ve since slipped down to third place, but my appetite for success has been well and truly whet.
So if you feel that this site is worthy of your vote, please go here and help fight the cause. And if you are a really keen supporter, you can vote once a day until the polls close at the end of the year.
In a further bid to garner votes, I’ve taken the decidedly drastic step of kidnapping Prime Minister Koizumi and burying him up to his neck in sand. Hot sand too for a bit of added drama.
If the votes come flooding in I promise to immediately release the wavy haired leader. And if they don’t? Well, I suppose I’ll just have to keep feeding him and attending to his constant hair related demands until they do. Which to be honest is driving me crazy, as keeping those greying curls in place is a full-time job in itself. So please save me from this hairstyling hell and cast your votes now.

LOL. I see you have set aside 2 extra spaces next to the PM. Who will be your next victim, I wonder.

Yes, my desperate quest for votes knows no bounds. I tried to catch the loathsome Ishihara, but the cunning old devil escaped.
In the end I may have to opt for the Emperor and his wife, but that will probably cause quite a scene. Still, it will certainly bring a bit of attention to this site, and maybe even generate a few of those much needed votes!

You have the entire support of the Indian population (1 billion and counting), as I have been rallying the troops for you campaign. I think Sonia Gandhi may actually be making an announcement on CNN, layer.
Lee says
LOL.
I’m looking forward to a significant increase in my vote tally tomorrow then!

What a fickle world politics can be! It seems that another website, http://www.melon-farming-techniques.org, is quite the rage here in India. I am sorry to announce that Mrs Gandhi has decided to shift her alliances. In response, I am finding the Indians to be rather hostile to my efforts to gain more votes for the gorgeous http://www.tokyotimes.org. I’ll continue regardless, even if it means life or limb.
