Japanese man makes enemy with the world by threatening to blow up the birthplace of Lucky Star

Here is an interesting story. A 22-year-old man named Yosuke Ida was arrested after sending a threatening letter that stated he would blow up the former home of Lucky Star creator Kagami Yoshimizu. The letter said something like “I am going to blow up the site recreating the heroine's room from the Lucky Star manga on April 25." Though being a detective that I am, I think he was trying to say. “If I blow up Konata’s room, she would then have to sleep in mine, right?” However, he admitted afterward that he did not intend to nuke the house, but to just cause an uproar.

The cool thing about this house is that it was turned into a museum of sorts. They transformed a couple of the rooms into recreations of Konata’s bedroom and her cousin Yutaka’s room. Basically, the house is cosplaying.

So what’s the deal with Yosuke? Did he just want fame and fortune for attempting to blow this otaku pilgrimage spot up, or does he hate Lucky Star? Either way, he must not be too smart; bombing Haruhi’s house would have been a much better choice!
