"A Japanese man made his way to a spot about 330 feet above ground on a famous Tokyo landmark Sunday in what may have been a reckless attempt to impress a girl...."

Actually the artical says he was about 333 meters off the deck, which would be close to 1100 feet :idea:

Jeez Ophelia, what would you have us do?
We can't empathsize, we really have no idea and you know it.
We can't share our feelings, we don't have any.
We can't talk our way through it, we hate that shit!
And if we bring our concerns to our friends' attentions, they will laugh at us and call us pussys.
We can do zackly two things very well... bring you things and do stupid boy tricks for you.
Thats it really, both barrels at once, 12 guage. We shoot those wads too early, we got nothing left.
So if your boyfriend has already climbed a mountain for you and has brought you pretty baubles, beware, the end is neigh if you keep to your demanding ways. He's got nothing left to offer that can't be replaced with a duracell and a twist of the wrist.

There is a long tradition going back thirty years or more of men distraught with relationships climbing Tokyo Tower. Greenpeace did the climb in '79 and and they were the 14th ascent to the resturaunt back then. This is the first one since then to employ a banner. It's pretty much a natural media target given all the TV stations are in the base of it. Similar story for the Eiffel Tower.
[Good one Dingus...]

The romance may not be dead, but if a lot of people start doing this, someone will be dead.
