Mainichi Daily News and Keromin WAIWAI censorship...

Following a post about Keromin from Tokyo Mango the blog writtend by super Lisa Katayama (she just published an Urazawa book that's a must read for eveyone), I found out that Mainichi Daily censored the legendary WaiWai column... after their "great" article about the Kamagasaki riot published a couple of weeks ago I decided to delete Mainichi from my bookmarks...
MDN readers,
Some readers pointed out that various articles published in the WaiWai column were inappropriate content for the Mainichi Daily News. We respond to this criticism by halting publication of this column. We plan to start a column with a new concept to replace WaiWai in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.
Mainichi Daily News
LOL I suppose that they don't have stopped the column because the Keromin article... actually I posted about Keromin last november and I really love how a meme can spread after so many motnhs in the blogosphere just because Waiwai posted about it!
So I'm not complaining because my 7 months old post went under the radar of every other blog (even tough last year I diligently submitted the news to many of the blogs who have now posted about it), but
anyway, it's good that Keromin has finally received the blog exposure that it deserves!
