Unexpectedly hilarious explanation of voter ID laws that restrict voting. Veterans ID and Social Security cards don’t allow people to vote, but gun licenses do.

Pokemon says no
Pokemon says “no” to bottle of booze, green tea, congratulatory and funeral flowers, school children’s backpacks, incense, expensive fruit baskets, and gifts of rice. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry seeing this government poster. Is it patronizing, funny or just ridiculous?
Given widespread corruption, not so different in Japan as in the United States– including dead people voting, illegal corporate contributions and staggering levels of distrust– do citizens need a children’s cartoon to tell them about the dangers and illegality of accepting small gifts from politicians?
Are small gifts the reason why Japanese politics are so dismal?
