May 14 2008Man Grows Old Right Before Your Eyes
Wow, I really need to ramp up my efforts to live a more stress free life. I don't wanna end up like this guy, who, in the span of three years, went from a young dapper lad to an old diaper clad. Apparently he's a Japanese news reporter that let the stress of the job get the best of him. Listen, I've got a piece of advice for those of you out there that feel like you may be headed down the same path. Hookers. They help you live a happy, stress (but not necessarily VD) free life. I'd still frequent them if I didn't get wrapped up in this whole "marriage" thing. It's seriously killing me, and I've only been hitched for two years. It started with gradual hair loss, then a strange rash. Next came a chest pain, and now I can't hear (over the sound of my wife's blathering piehole). Oh no -- oh no. Hold on a sec. "Hey, wait, please don't go -- I need you. PLEASE. No, not them too. Come on, maybe tonight'll be the night. No I haven't been saying that for two years! Come back, I beg you!" *sobbing* Well folks, it's official -- my proverbial sausage has packed his metaphorical meatballs and left. Life as I know it, is over. I might as well become a leper.

jesus, stress? really? maybe he has some sort of aging disease, or picked the wrong grail!

OLD!!!!!

Maybe he purposely donned the old Dude look to garner more respect as a journalist?
Of course I went thru this and then just 2 years after dumping my Ex I've actually grown younger again. No wonder married guys die so young.

To be fair, I think he really just went gray and that's about it. If you look really close, it's only the first one that looks very different than the other shots - and I think they just had more make-up caked on him.
Or maybe he's just a big George Clooney fan?

FAKE!!
maybe he was grey all ready and stopped dying his hair... how is this related to technology???

If it isn't my old friend crazynut! I really missed your "FAKES!".
Oh, I changed my name by the way but I'm sure you know me.

So whats wrong with having grey hair? I swear when I go grey I'm gonna get all sorts of poon tang. won't be able to keep them away. At least thats what I tell myself.
Maybe I should just dye my hair grey now? Who's with me? no one? Okay fine, but when I'm neck deep in the ladies you all will be sorry.

I guess even aging can't stop this man's love for blue ties

Oh man, time to work less hours... This is scarier than it is awesome, on a personal level, as a workaholic.

He probably just has AIDS, nothing too bad.

There, I just felt like exclAmation points were necessary to show off my complete and utter doucheness that has long been Alluded to.
Poor guy, by the way.

I was in Japan 9/2006 thru 8/2007, and I would see this guy on TV everyday. I don't remember him looking like that when I left
16. tmhs - May 14, 2008 8:38 PM
I would say that he's really looked like that the whole time but you couldn't tell until the broadcast was in HD and then he went gray.

My base is in Osaka, Japan and I've watched this newscaster...
Surprisingly, it got even worse.
Here he was by 11/07:

Not surprising really. They don't age well do they..
20. mimang - May 15, 2008 5:44 AM
he looks so miserable. this really cracks me up! sorry...
21. boredom - May 15, 2008 8:18 AM
maybe it's just the blue ties sucking the life out of him, someone buy this man a different color tie.
Oh and I sent this to my boss and left work imediately. Boss wasn't happy especially when I told him he's starting the same trend but then he left work too.
22. Momboelitist - May 15, 2008 10:44 AM
I hear he speaks some weird language too? How the hell can Joe All-American understand him with that jibberish?
What? Japan..ese? What the Frig are you talking about?
Excuse me whilst I open a can of whoop ass on this voice in my head.

Funny, I thought it said:
..Life as I know it, is over. I might as well become a larper.

Finally some evidence, In the words of Karl Pilkington...
"The Chineese don't age well! They age overnight, like a pear."
