VICE: The Japanese Love Industry

[Zeze]

Japans demographic problem shows that they are doing too much of the former and too little of the latter.

Yes, and this show took that one statistic and tied it to a typical host/hostess scene as if that's the reason to blame.

Host/hostess bars are nothing new. It exists in Korea and China. You go there for fun, drinks, and some girls pouring you drinks. It's hardly any different than a couple of us here going to Hooters. Let's grab 200 people that visited that bar on Saturday night and all ask them if they are determined to be single and hate being in a relationship. The result would be quite normal than how the show depicts.

What a stupid show.

I love Vice

Japan definitely is the leader in weird shit.

My wife worked at a hostess club when she was younger...from the stories she tells, I would say it's quite a bit different than Hooters.

what payoff? they did not show anything.

???

So, you needed to actually see a chubby mother of two take a watery shit in a hotel bathtub... and then eat it? That's what you needed as a payoff?

I was okay enough with the description that it happened (and that the reporter has been scarred for life over it). I guess I'm old-fashioned like that.

I was also kinda underwhelmed that the BDSM was what the secret is all about...but then again it's pretty frowned upon about as much on this side of the pond.

Isn't it obvious? PB is a coprophiliac.
