   Background first:   
      
   Japan's Space World theme park came under fire recently for acting on   
   its idea of freezing 5,000 shellfish and other aquatic animals into   
   the floor of an ice-skating rink, which managers explain was intended   
   to teach youngsters about marine life.  Some complained also about how   
   the sea creatures, obtained from a local fish market, were portrayed in   
   advertisements; for instance, captions included 'I am d... d...   
   drowning, s ... s... suffocating'.  Melting added to the outrage as   
   blood began seeping into the ice and some fish started protruding from   
   the surface.   
     Space World manager Toshimi Tekeda responded that the park has been   
   closed for the moment and that the skating rink will be unfrozen for   
   removal of the fish, which are to be given an 'appropriate religious   
   service' and then used as fertiliser.

   And their spokescritter:

     Toshimi Tekeda = I do the mistake.   
     Toshimi Tekeda ~ makes the idiot.
