Stay Classy, Time Magazine

June 18th, 2008 by James

It looks like Time Magazine’s Tokyo correspondents are putting great efforts into reporting about minor trends in the Japanese porn industry:

Maybe the story about the robot “girlfriend” wasn’t wacky enough for them?

They don’t call it “Mass Gomi” for nothing.

Who gives a shit about Time magazine anyways? “Wow, I have a 8th grade reading level!” Seriously, Time magazine sucks. Why bother reporting on JAV when we have people dying of starvation, lack of water, and all sorts of shit all over the place? That sort of stupidity is mind bendingly depressing.

They’ve printed a few corkers on Japan over the past year. They printed a load of crap called “Japan Inc is drinking again” twice last year (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1659719,00.html).

They simply don’t have people who can write on the real issues.

I,the one who usually gets really angry about lazy foreign media exclusively focusing “wacky Japan” theme.

But this…This IS a news. Elderly porn in the most aging society in the world.I’m surprised this didn’t make into a cover story.

Y’all better put yourselves in the shoes of these guys covering Japan stories sometimes.It’s so damn boring stationed in the country where GIs don’t get blown off by the road side bomb.

I’m just surprised that there was even one sex niche left in Japan.
