A straw man argument?

by Feòrag

Japan: A man has been arrested on suspicious of breaking anti-stalking laws after the Japenese equivalent of a voodoo doll was sent to a woman.

Investigators said the man from Hamakita, Shizuoka Prefecture, Akira Oshiro, 56, sent a straw doll with a nail driven though it to the woman in mid-July last year.

The doll, which was mailed to the woman's home in Shizuoka Prefecture, had the woman's name on it...

...Straw dolls which have nails driven into them are the Japanese equivalent of voodoo dolls.
