For those of you who want to check out the link, there's a picture of the guy I will be talking about. If you don't care about visual aids, don't bother going, as I'll be summarizing pretty completely here.

In Japan, when political people want to jockey for political positions, it appears that they employ informational posters, as opposed to our commercials and lawn signs, to get their message out to the public. I'd like to share with you the poster of one Mr. "Jesus" Matayoshi. It reads, and I quote, as translated by the linked-to source:

"After the Upper House Election, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi should hand the seat of the Prime Minister to Jesus Matayoshi, the one true God. If he cannot, he should cut his belly and die. Jesus Matayoshi, the one true God, will throw him into the fiery depths of hell. The reason is that before you kill another person you should die yourself. The same goes to those voters who do not vote for Jesus Matayoshi, the one true God. You will understand the specific reason in election advertisements."

This confirms, along with MXC and all other Japanese game shows, that Japan is where I need to be.
