世論 What Japan Thinks

Today’s silly survey from goo Ranking is a look at what people would most hate their family to see, and for a change it has some slightly more spicy answers than usual.

Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

Number one seems a bit of a contradiction, as being completely and utterly out of it by definition means that one cannot recall the incident!
