sechan19There have been a couple things in the past weeks that have really tickled my funny bone.
This first is the news that this contest, which offered a $10,000 prize toward a dream wedding for couples who refrained from premarital sex, had no takers. That's right. None. Zero. Zilch. Kyoumi ga aru hito wa inai. I love it. I mean, seriously, when are the abstinence-only crowds going to acknowledge that human beings like having sex with other human beings (that having sex with other human beings is probably, like, on everyone's top-five list of favorite things to do, ever)? Give it rest, people.
The second is this delightful website, where Japanese men looking to lose weight can sign up for a cyber-wife who will email them regular "nagging" messages about watching what they eat and getting the right amount of exercise. Users of the service can choose between one of four different wife-types--who each has a different profession, different hobbies, and different tastes in music and film--name them, and bask in the love. Emails come four times a day, and "of course any mail sent from you to your wife will get a response." Clearly, this is the new face of cyber-porn. ;>
