Three major companies publish advertisements and material containing misspelled words. The McDonald’s Japan McRIB sandwich wrapper "will makes you hungry". KDDI telecommunications is unsure about "your" and "you’re" in a newspaper ad, which has been published twice. And, when you use your Softbank mobile communications Mysoftbank web page, you are "logined".  related: McRIB Japan review

The Tokyo Shibuya monkey continues to elude police capture. The macaque monkey in the city was discovered at Shibuya train station August 20, 2008. Morning rush hour commuters snapped cell phone photos as the monkey led police on a wild chase through the station. The monkey outsmarted the cops, and fled into the city. On September 5, police said the monkey is likely surviving on rainwater, leaves and berries on trees.
