Olympic Shames - This Week In Japan

Here we go again... This Week In Japan, we celebrate the opening of Super Nintendo World, Disaster Survival Dogs, Train Phones, and a victory for LGBT rights. We do not celebrate another high-profile figure planning the Olympics saying something dumb and sexist. Like, have you guys considered just not? Just take the whole thing around the back of the barn, already.
