'Present-day Tokyo looks like vomit' — Shintaro Ishihara, Governor of Tokyo

Above, my nominee for best quote of the month by someone in a position to know.

It appears in an interview with Ishihara appearing in the September issue of Monocle, Tyler Brûlé's new magazine.

More from Ishihara's interview: "Because we didn't have any proper city planning, it [Tokyo] has turned into a mess."

If I ever meet Brûlé I'm gonna ask him if he has a sister named Crème.
