Don't Accept BBC's Apology Unless-------

Top executive of BBC personally should come to visit not only Mr. Yamaguchi's grave but also Hiroshima and Nagasaki peace memorial parks at which he should ask for "Pardon".  I will not lift my personal travel alert to UK where I consider infected with "nuke-loving" disease unless BBC does so.



Although Mr. Ken Mogi (see Note: 1 below), a Japanese TV personality highly appreciates the British sense of humor (as if to say that the Japanese are responsible for not fully understanding it due to the lack of knowledge and experience) in the video (see Note: 2 below),  in which Mr. Stephen Fry, the host of QI, and guests together drew laughs from audiences several times, it is reported that BBC and Talkback Thames jointly issued apology.

I assume that since Mr. Stephen Fry is a popular figure among the British people, every Briton, including those brainwashed by the British people must have laughed so hard at Mr. Yamaguchi without any regard to humanity. Mr. Stephen Fry whom Mr. Ken Mogi describes in his blog as being intelligent, loving, and liberal while bragging about his knowledge of the British culture and his exposures, seems to have actually committed a crime against humanity by humiliating and degrading not only Mr. Yamaguchi (although he died at the age of 93 last year) but also all A-bomb survivors, considering gravity of A-bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki which I consider equally similar to "Holocaust" committed by the Nazi Germany.

Ms. Toshiko Yamazaki, Mr. Yamaguchi's daughter, appeared on NHK's national evening news program and said: "I don't want them to treat the atomic bomb experience just as being unlucky or something like that. They are humiliating and degrading not only my father but also all other victims.  I cannot forgive them for ridiculing at the atomic bomb experience in Britain."

In response to the Japanese anger over the show, BBC said " we greatly regret it when we cause offense" and "we underestimated the potential sensitivity of this issue to Japanese viewers."
