I was in Japan when this controversy was on the front page of every American paper. The people in Nagoya were talking about what puppets of their news Americans are. It's not as if Japanese people are any different. Local people weren't even slightly worried about it. They knew they could ride it out. They knew the claims were total bullshit. It was a transparent effort by the media to drive consumers to the failing American brands. In the end, it failed to persuade Americans to buy mediocrity.
