Fashion Police: the newest Japanese ministry

"Is a Salaryman Without a Suit Like Sushi Without the Rice?" (NYTimes)

Do you want to stop global warming? Have an interest in fashion?

Starting in June the Japanese government introduces "Cool Biz," the new look for salarymen and the first step toward reducing green house emissions in Japan.

Prime Minister Koizumi says, "The government will take the lead in prevention of global warming," he said. "From this summer, government is planning to start no necktie, no jacket."

The salarymen are not happy.
