This is fucking great.

So, about a month ago? I got forwarded mail from someone saying that Matsujun/Arashi no Shukudai-kun was doing a chain-mail project to see how many times the chain would go around the world or how many people it would reach or something.  Then they would announce the results on the show on April 24th.  I thought, "Mm this sounds cool and yet very suspicious".  I checked the date in the email and it turned out to be a Thursday so I knew it must have been bullshit because AnS broadcasts on Mondays. 

When I went to check the guest on AnS tonight, this message was on the website:

次回の放送は5月5日!
＝チェーンメールについて＝
最近、「嵐の宿題くん」の企画と名乗った、
チェーンメールのお問い合わせが増えておりますが、
番組では一切、そのような企画は行っておりません。
もしそのようなメールを受け取られた方は、イタズラですので、
他の方にメールを回すのをやめてください。

The next broadcast is May 5th!
=Concerning Chain Mail=
Recently there has been an increase in chain mail inquiries by someone claiming to be an "Arashi no Shukudai-kun" planner, but such a project is not being done by this show.  If you are a person who has received that kind of mail, it is a prank, so please stop sending the mail to other people.

XD  I can't believe it.  That just made my day, in some weird bout of schadenfreude. 

On a brighter note, on tonight's Shukudai-kun:
    Nishikawa-sensei's reckless (secret) talk leaves Arashi cringing?!
    In the first painting competition after a long time, the continuous miracles of Master Sakurai!

Sho "art"!   I can't wait.  I will even forgive the fact that the broadcast is pushed back half an hour again tonight.  I hope I will be finished writing by then!

HAHAHA you wonder if it was all a strange ploy to get on the show somehow ...

I wonder how it started. I don't think it's possible to trace chain-mail unless someone keeps track of it somehow. And who has time for that BS? And really, WHO was gullible enough to believe it in the first place?

If people can believe in silly little rumors that might "tarnish" the glittering idol image of Johnny's boys, then I wouldn't be surprised that they would fall for something like this. The AnS day of the week inaccuracy is hilarious though. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE DO IT RIGHT???

But I wonder, was I the only one to pick up on it?

I sincerely hope not ... but my faith in humanity waxes and wanes :P

Noooo I want to go though. It's the same as everything JE: a freaking lottery system. Which is fair enough. But the tapings are also during the day on midweek so I can't go. Maybe I'll try going in August when I have like 8 weeks holiday.
