I strongly suggest that Mainichi will have statement to “review and correct” these articles and not just deleting them but display and distribute such correction for more than the period that these crazy articles have been in place, more than 7 years.

The fact that Mainichi has mislead the world, instead of spreading the truth which is a special role for journalists, is a huge mistake and Mainichi will have to “reborn” and take these back from the world in every possible way that they can.

Lastly let me add that the Japanese Mainichi site includes far the most sexual articles among the Japanese newspapers, Asahi, Yomiuri, Nikkei and Mainichi, and this Japanese site including these sexual articles are easily “linked” from the “Mainichi Elementary School Newspaper”site.
Again please do not “delete and hide” but “review, apologize and correct” the situation there as well.

Well, whether the guy had been translating creatively or not, you can’t really expect quality journalism based on sleazy tabloids. Still, I confess I actually believed that, save for his really bad wordplays, Connell was more or less faithful to his source material. What little I’d read of such rags as Shūkan Gendai made it sound plausible enough.

Anyway, the whole WaiWai section has now been pulled from the website with an apology.
