 :* There's no question about it; this article maintains almost NO neutrality (quite possibly the most offensive example I've come across here). Nor does it provide context (nor sources) except that Spector may at least have actually said what he's quoted as saying here. Mostly comes off as a smug look-at-me-here-in-Tokyo-making-half-a-mil-a-year waxy self-justification page. I've made half-a-mil-a-year too but I'd never lack self-respect as to spout it in any interview of public record; probably not even while nudging-papa-with-a-smirk privately. If there were someone willing to spend the time, there are plenty of other sources about Spector to supply this article, but they might not meet with the subject's approval (by whom this article seems to be written) and judging by the dates on this talk page it seems like there's noone who really cares. Trouble is, Spector is in fact one of the ""go-to"" gaijin, regularly appearing on any number of Japanese variety shows or as a ""panelist"" on topical shows, but given the state of such Japanese programming I'm not sure that's something Dave is actually proud of or even something he should be proud of. Even the LA Times article included in the sources sounds like it was written as either tongue-in-cheek ""get-a-load-a-this-guy"" or as payback puff-piece by some LA-jin for whom Spector helped promote something in Tokyo. I have neither the time or interest myself except to say: Dave! Tend to this! Or have one of your minion tend to this! It might be a laugh simply to know that this kind of ego-stroke existed on wikipedia this long, but ultimately you have to ask yourself ""are people laughing with me or at me?""; as a regular on Japanese TV that's a concept you ought to be familiar with!
