Those naughty Japanese

This story about Japanese workers at Canon being forced to go home early two days a week in hopes they will "multiply" would be funny except that it's so sad.

One thing that struck me from the interview with the company spokesperson was the idea that having a baby is something you do to further the company's "good corporate citizen" image.

2 days a week you have to go home at 5:30. How much you wanta bet they'll make up the lost work time by coming in early and staying even later the other 5 days?
