Irate viewer sends human remains to Japanese TV station

Someone delivered a plastic bag of cremated human remains (complete with bone fragments) to TV Tokyo in Japan. The note accompanying the package said that the viewer who sent it was angry about the station's decision to extend its live coverage of the world table-tennis championships, pre-empting the Inu Kami cartoon.

Hmmm. What would I do if a Trailblazers game cropped out part of Lost? Oh, yeah. I'd download it off the internet.

Anna, you are so naieve. This week's episode of Lost was a "last-minute addition." Why? Well, let's say it had less to do with fleshing out the story and more to do with the three severed fingers I sent J.J. Abrams via USPS.
