"A group of Japanese singles filed a lawsuit against real estate agents which they accused of faking romantic interest so they will be persuaded to purchase properties from them. The twelve plaintiffs, two men and ten women, are all in their early 30s to 40s.
The victims sued 14 companies, real estate firms, and loan companies, and are seeking 200 million yen (approx. US$1.95 million) in damages. According to the lawyers, plaintiffs met the agents via online dating sites, and once romance ensued, the accused would encourage and talk the victims into buying properties, such as a condominium averaging 26 million yen ($254,000). As soon as the contracts had been signed and the deal completed, the agent would bail out of the relationship."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
