    cancam mag does indeed seem to be the bible for j-stepford (wannabe) wives. can't really blame the girls themselves, though. they know not what they do

    So now Japan is importing talent in order to win a medal? No home-grown ice dancers? Interesting....

    i would say that in my experience, regardless of your opinion about the matter, the article is quite accurate

    My two-cents: Japanese women (mostly college students) I've met OUTSIDE of Japan are buck-wild and ready to go with just about anyone (Just ask any bus driver in Guam); however, when they return to Japan they go back to their old, anti-social selves. It's not just "chat-to-sex" communication skills, but communication skills in general that are deteriorating. It's the culture, IMHO.

    wouldn't this example suggest more that this has to do with the cultural expectations placed on women, rather than anything else? you could say that their rather... promiscuous behaviour is just the genie getting let out of the bottle after an obviously prolonged period...

    Posted in: First of all, the advanced communications skills needed to go from chatting someone up to actually having sex are deteriorating. Second, people get (sexual) satisfaction from the strong stimulation provided by adult Internet sites and other X-rated media.

    i often think that the "healthy" stereotype of japanese food is purely based on that fact that it is low fact in comparison with western diets. on the other hand it's clearly much higher in sodium....

    It looks like Apple screwed the pooch on this on.

    that's what they said about the imac/ipod/iphone... i wouldn't count those chickens... i think a lot of people think that they expect this to be as big as the iphone. not going to happen, and they know it. it's definitely a more niche product

    that's japanese culture in a nutshell: everyone permanently in a state of exhaustion. makes you wonder how anything decent gets done

    I was and I am always wondering why really nice underwear is not popular among Japanese ladies

    i suppose they don't necessarily sport the most flattering of designs, but in my experience they are more partial to wearing matching sets than british ladies

    what a waste of $$$!

    just a load of rocks. although precious stones do have their practical uses

    kinda reminds me of Utopia (the book) where children are encouraged to play with gold/jewels as children and thus society views obsession about shiny things as childish, dress dour and concentrate of the more important things in life. Moore was a smart fellow

    just another knee-jerk reaction by people who can't cope with a changing world

    nail applied to head. sadly

    goes to show you can't buy taste. unfortunately a large percentage of the japanese population have yet to wake up to the fact that this kind of thing is a disgusting sham
