they're not allowed to raise a military, what else are they supposed to do

e4tango: Okay, ya gotta love the amazing diversity of the Japanese culture, but I have to ask, WTF is the deal with blurring out the faces of the pervs getting the upskirt shots but leaving the "star" identifiable? There's also one a a group of three girls in costume. Can anyone offer a clue? I know back in the day, virtually all Japanese skin mags were crotchless so I get the pendulum swing, but why protect the opportunists?

It's to make it seem more realistic, as if the guy doesn't want to be caught. If you don't get it then voyeur porn isn't for you, go jack off to playboy or something.


UNCENSORED JAPANESE VAGINA NSFW

I stayed in one of those capsule hotels in Tokyo for a night.
I left the next day because I couldn't find the shower. The place was huge. They make you put your clothes in a locker and give you a robe, so that is what you wear while you are there. It's all guys, no ladies. I looked and looked for a shower. the place had several floors. I found sinks and toilets, a massage place and a hot tub in the same room with a restaurant and about a dozen guys watching cartoons on a small movie screen, but never found a shower. I just couldn't bring myself to get in a hot tub in the same room as a restaurant and a make shift movie theater.

not that i was looking too closely or anything...
but notice that, while they are all wearing the same style of shoe, the soles vary in order to make the women all the same height.

now THAT'S uniform.

This is a friend of mine.

That is all.

my buddy lived over there for afew years and he says all it comes down to is that they love our American culture and are trying to westernize Japan except they take it "alittle" to far.

So let me get this straight, you have almost a dozen guys clustered around a mini-shirted chick displaying her hoo-ha, busy taking video/picture. However, it appeals to the voyeuristic nature of guys like yourself as being "more realistic" having their faces blurred? To belabor the point, you wouldn't be able to get a stiffy if it was just a regular, "Oh, there are a bunch of guys photographing some chick showing off her crotch!" picture, but with the blurring you're all over it?

/is this Dave Fenton?

Yume no Hikari: *YAWN*

Culture porn, nothing more. It would be like posting pics of tractor pulls or Star Trek conventions in the US. Oh, wait, those are funny too.




Thats what I got from this too. Yeah, there were a lot of funny pics, and yeah there were a lot of hot women, but any farker worth his salt probably has a folder with as many pictures that just as freaky and taken in the USA.

Business in the front, party in the back. I thought it was just for mullets

To avoid having to get model releases from each recognizable person in the picture, should the photographer have the opportunity to sell or publish it in a for profit medium.

I like the fact that the two "girls" with big thighs have their eyes pixellated, but only enough so you can see that they're pixellated, not hide their features.

I didn't really work at figuring that picture out, but I just thought they were two female midgets.

No way this is a bookmark.

mamoru: HaywoodJablonski: I like the pic of the guy sleeping on his motorcycle, though he looks Vietnamese or Cambodian or some shiat, not Japanese

Indeed. And, I'm pretty sure the 3 girls on the scooter is Thailand (at least, those look more like Thai school uniforms to me), as is the picture of the girl getting soaked by a bunch of guys with water guns (that is the Songkran festival - basically a 3 day nationwide water fight, and a hell of a good time :D ).

Still, a lot of pictures in there that made me miss living in Japan.

Maybe I've been here too long as very few of these made me actually wtf.
I kind of snickered at a few of them.

Gwendolyn: I'm trying to figure out how to Engrish ICY HOT STUNTAZ this pic.

EmptyLighter: //you learn...not to ask questions any more...

Indeed. I lived there for nearly 5 years. You learn to take everything in stride. Mothra could attack, and your first thought would be, "hmmm, will this make the trains late?"

After living there so long, very few things in this world can elicit a "Now, THAT is bizarre" from me. ;)

mamoru: Thai

Yeah that's the Thai school uniform, but the supposed Songkran pic, the guys don't look Thai at all.

to the Yes,no, yes and yesyesyesyes guys:
Yup. (i got sick of the '....' not working)


And as far as the WWII propaganda posters?
Good for them. Japan attacked without warning and deserved everything they got.

Oh! and btw: you want to racism? Go to Japan, one of the most racist nations out there. Don't get me wrong, I like Jap stuff/culture/history etc and that's why I know about their racism.

Systematically went thru Korea and China trying to do to them what Hilter did to the Jews, gypsies, etc. Read the 'Rape of Nanking'.

Also the Nipon word for foreigner is 'ganjin' (sp?) which transtates LITERALLY as 'barbarian'; not immigrant, not foreigner, not visitor but barbarian. That should give you an idea of their cultural background.

mamoru:

Huh. So the "focus" of the picture, without the blurring, would be assumed to have signed a release? Or was the scene staged on her behalf? What would the upshot that be?

Let's try that again

Any more modern examples for us?

I wouldn't be surprised that any one culture I know little about turned out to be a hotbed of racism, but one word's etymology and something that happened a while ago doesn't prove anything.

The KOS-MOS picture gave me a geekgasm.

Seriously though, there is some weird shiat in those pics!

mfaby: Also the Nipon word for foreigner is 'ganjin' (sp?) which transtates LITERALLY as 'barbarian'; not immigrant, not foreigner, not visitor but barbarian. That should give you an idea of their cultural background.

uhhh...no.

外人 - gaijin - literally "outside person", and the best translation for it is "non-Japanese" because a Japanese person would never consider themselves "gaijin" when visiting another country.

The best word in Japanese for foreigner is 外国人 "gaikokujin", literally "other country person".

Nice try, though.

mfaby: And as far as the WWII propaganda posters?

Leaving the rest for another argument, you do know the only reason that the attack on Pearl Harbor didn't happen after war was declared was because the Japanese embassy had a really crappy typist? Or are you saying that surprise attacks are not part of warfare?

/now, back to random Japanese weirdness

blackartemis: but the supposed Songkran pic, the guys don't look Thai at all.

Good point. Also, they are wearing raincoats, which no one does during Songkran. Do any other East or Southeast Asian countries have similar festivals? Or perhaps they are tourists in Thailand during Songkran?

mfaby's an idiot.

Holy god man I want to go to Japan so bad!

I disagree with this. It's arrogant to think they do it because they love "our" culture. They have a lot of American influence, surely, but they're hardly emulating us. You'll also find much more significant influences from China and Korea (especially in cuisine). I only lived there for a couple of months, but I didn't see anything that made me think they were trying to emulate Americans. They take what they like from any culture and make it their own... same as anywhere else. I was in a smaller town and there was absolutely nothing "American" that I could see. English was extremely rare and any English language I ran into seemed more like a novelty on the other speaker's part. Tokyo is an entirely different story, of course, but I think it's comparable to New York City. It's very international and metropolitan... you'll get a lot of influences from all over the place.

I think Chinese is going to supplant English as the preferred second language of choice, though I also ran into Spanish speakers and someone who is studying French. Also, some of the English was based on the Queen's English, and not even American. More Japanese are supposedly interested in visiting Canada than the US. British Columbia was a very popular tourist destination.

I think we take too much credit for their Westernization. Influential, yes. Emulating us? No way.

I'm curious what made your friend think that.

Damn, I must get it together and visit Japan before I die. It looks like the nearest we will ever get to an alien culture.

A guy I work with recently went to Japan for two weeks. Since he's come back, he has absolutely no interest in North American women at all. Too much fat, too much baggage, and too much stupidity according to him. And he was a real horn-dog before.

I can quite believe it. Western women are turning into bad copies of men, all the bad stuff without the redeeming male qualities. As for the slut tattoos, piercings and cigarettes - uurgh. Japanese women seem unafraid to be feminine.
