RT @justinmccurry: Here's the QI clip that prompted Japanese embassy complaint to the BBC. http://bit.ly/hnT4CR #hiroshima #tsutomuyamaguchi
2011-01-22 11:01:49RT @kenmogi: The depiction of the atomic bombs in the BBC's quiz show QI has caused indignation in Japan. Here's my comment. http://bit.ly/gxK9dL
2011-01-22 11:04:55As a Japanese, and a lover of Brit comedy, my take on QI's segment on the man who survived two atomic bombs http://bit.ly/hUmjBK #hiroshima
2011-01-22 14:22:53@YukoAndHerCats Good post on QI, but I have to say (respectfully) I think Japanese cause similar offense using blackface in comic routines.
2011-01-22 14:40:03@smacklooshis Thank you for reading. I agree Japan, as well as other countries, is in no way above stereotypes and offensive comedy.
2011-01-22 15:00:19@stephenfry Good morning, Stephen. I love you, respect you, always loved your shows, own the box DVD set of A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
2011-01-22 15:05:37@stephenfry So felt compelled to write after the Japanese media reports about QI's bit on the atomic bombs http://bit.ly/hUmjBK
2011-01-22 15:07:51@stephenfry People are angry because they don't understand, which is really sad, and the media here aren't any help in that respect.
2011-01-22 15:11:34@stephenfry I just wanted to say how I love and respect all that you do, and some of us are trying to bridge the gap of misunderstanding
2011-01-22 15:13:45@YukoAndHerCats Thank you for your blog. I think you put it amazingly well. Much appreciated. And sorrow for the upset...
2011-01-22 15:13:52@stephenfry Stephen, thank you so much for this. Life is great that I can watch you via YouTube and get a glimpse into your thoughts here.
2011-01-22 15:23:16フォローありがとうございます。私が聴き直した限りではStephenに問題発言は何もないと思います。むしろ「……すごいなあ」という畏怖を感じます。@nofrills 英語の聞き取りに問題がない方、教えて下さい。 司会者(スティーヴン・フライ)の「不適切発言」とは
2011-01-22 17:32:27スティーブンにも感心するし、スティーブンが山口さんや当時の日本に畏怖している感じもしました @nofrills ありがとうございます。私もスティーヴンは見事だなあ、と感心しました。RT @YukoAndHerCats: …私が聴き直した限りではStephenに問題発言は何もないと
2011-01-22 17:39:28I did a transcript of the QI episode that's caused a furor in Japan and added translations. Hope this clears the air....http://bit.ly/g1E5JA
2011-01-22 20:07:26Because people in Japan were getting upset without knowing what was actually being said. If this infringes BBC copyright, I'm sorry.
2011-01-22 20:08:36@stephenfry FYI I did a transcript of the QI episode and added translations. Hope this clears the air here somewhat ...http://bit.ly/g1E5JA

2011-01-23 08:17:27@stephenfry You eat fried fish, and we eat fish in raw (sometimes). You drink a pint of beer, and we drink a turtleneck bottle of Sake...
2011-01-23 13:39:58@stephenfry If we had known each other, eating and drinking together some 70 yrs ago, we would have chosen the course of history otherwise.
2011-01-23 13:40:12@stephenfry I do appreciate BBC has taken steps to take this unfortunate incident seriously and made an announcement. http://bbc.in/fIYsXT
2011-01-23 13:40:28@stephenfry I take it very lucky to live in the age of the Internet and in the age or B747 (or Airbus A380). The World has become so small.
2011-01-23 13:41:31@stephenfry So... I hereby sincerely hope Hiroshima and Nagasaki would cordially invite you, Alan, Rob and Piers Fletcher to the memorial of
2011-01-23 13:42:01@stephenfry ... of 6th and 9th of August, the days of remembrance.
