Grocery Bombs Away

South Korean protesters hurl eggs and tomatoes at the Japanese Embassy during a rally against Japan's announcement of its decision to include in school textbooks its claims to islands controlled by South Korea in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Japan's government Tuesday defended its decision, a move that prompted Seoul to lodge a protest and recall its ambassador. (Photo by Lee Jin-Man)

Notes to Protesters:

1. One of your own South Korean citizens was shot to death last week, not by Japan but by North Korea. I hope you'll make some time for that protest when you're finished chucking your groceries at the Japanese embassy.

2. Speaking of groceries, you guys must be doing quite well financially if, despite the rising cost of food, you can nonetheless afford to throw eggs and tomatoes at embassies. I trust, then, that you're not among those complaining about these skyrocketing prices.
