Hillary Clinton’s Cleavage Makes The News In Japan

America’s reaction to Hillary Clinton’s tenative dip into new neckline territory made the news in Japan last week:

The Japanese news show interviews some random Americans on the street in Tokyo, not getting a very positive response from them to Hillary’s cleavage. On the other hand, Japanese people shown her picture didn’t seem to have any problem with it at all!

OOOOh My god. I can just see this going wrong in every way. Hill will be showing off her boobs every time she wants something done in the whitehouse….

Maybe she can get America Free Healthcare if she preforms a peep show XD

I’m not sure she really has boobs. It looks like she’s just trying to be more woman than John Edwards.

But seriously, I didn’t get that the Americans interviewed thought it was awful and the Japanese didn’t care. I thought the few Americans they interviewed didn’t really care. One kind of alluded to the idea that she shouldn’t be sexualized which they seemed to translate as “It’s not sexy at all.”

The comment about John Edwards wasn’t just meant to be cheeky. There’s been a controversy that Hillary hasn’t been as sensetive to “woman’s issues” as John Edwards has. The pundits even argued that he’s more “woman” than she is. A few days later she wore the blouse with the infamous neckline. Suddenly Hillary became “feminine”.

By the way, is anyone other than me tired of hearing about the Clintons and their body parts?

Bill was very amusing. But Hillary seems to be striving for attention in all the wrong places.

Yes, completely.

okay, was I the only one to notice that they used a song from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack in the beginning and then used the beginning of the theme, “Tank” at the end?

I don’t think it was *that* bad. it’s just a little bit of boobie.
