I think this is funny as hell.
First a little back story.
On April 14th Al Kamen wrote an article in the Washington Post that described Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama as "increasingly loopy" when tying to work the international spotlight. The Japanese online community jumped on this and next thing you know "Loopy" has now come synonymous when criticizing Japan's PM.
Enter Tamayo Marukawa, a popular Democratic Representative from the greater Tokyo area. She is pretty famous for being a TV personality before hand. (Kind of like a Japanese Al Franken, but a woman). She's not a big fan of the current PM.
So, during a session of the Diet (The Japanese one-house congress) Prime Minister Hatoyama starts to address the dais. Out from the back Marukawa yells out "Loooopppppyyyyyy!!!!" and disrupts the session. (At the 15 second mark). The rest of the chatter is half the house telling Marukawa to shut the hell up and the other half agreeing.
I wish congress in the U.S ran like this
Loopy! <---- Youtube Video
Looks like she forgot to use her "inside voice"...
