The country’s new military rulers have said go-go dancers and other entertainers who are posing with tanks and entertaining the troops were no longer welcome.Okay. Probably a bad time for four actors dressed as Japanese superheroes to arive promoting an action-hero show movie opening next month. Here’s the story:
