A Tokyo High Court has overturned a Japanese pin up model's conviction after her breast size casted doubt on the testimony against her. Serena Kozakura, 38, had her conviction for willful destruction of property overturned after her lawyers successfully argued she couldn't have committed the crime with breasts so large. The model allegedly kicked in a wooden door to a man's room and crawled inside, to reportedly catch him with another woman. In her appeal, her attorneys held up a plate showing the size of the hole in the door and said Kozakura could not possibly squeeze her 44-inch chest through the opening.

A fishing town in Japan has declared its all-out support for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and for good reason too; the city and the senator share the same name. The Illinois senator took time to send city leaders a letter thanking them for their support, according to Mayor Toshio Murakami. "I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the city of Obama for your support and encouragement and thank you for your thoughtful gift. We share more than a common name. We share a common planet and common responsibility. I look forward to a future marked by the continued friendship of our two great nations and shared commitment to a better, freer world," Obama wrote in the letter.
