Can a skydiving sumo wrestler complete the ring-entering ceremony mid-air with a “gyoji” sumo referee by his side?
Like with many natural disasters, governments and large corporations throw money and supplies in relief efforts. Although the aid is greatly appreciated and needed by the victims, there is always this lingering cynicism that these donations were done out of self-serving motives. Especially when said company releases an ad tooting their own horn about the contributions they made.
However, a largely unsung gesture by FujiFilm has recently celebrated its milestone of restoring over 1,000,000 photos recovered from earthquake devastated areas. The cynic in you may ask what the big deal is about cleaning some photos when these people need food and shelter.
