Is the Problem Japan or Marriage?

Posted on December 1, 2008 | Leave a comment

I ran across this article, and it almost made me laugh. Then it made me feel sad for the Japanese. As I looked closer, the article mentioned that it surveyed married couples in Japan. Is this really an issue isolated to Japan, or is this about married people not having sex? I bet if the survey dug a little deeper they would find that single employees are still making time for their bodily needs. If this is such a problem, companies should just host happy hours for their employees and send them home all liquored up and ready for action. It might even provide for more crazy game show ideas. If you don’t understand why that’s awesome, Google it.

I wish someone would urge me to go leave work early to have sex or just to play Rock Band on my couch in my underwear.

Blast From the Internet Past

Posted on February 19, 2008 | Leave a comment

As promised I dug through some of my old CDs that I burned in college. It was great finding tons of music videos. What is amazing is the low quality some of these videos. I remember them taking up half of my screen when I was in school. I must have been running a 600-pixel resolution or something, because these videos are tiny on my computer now.

These three videos I dug up are Japanese commercials for a well known athletics gear company. Although these are old and not American commercials, I’d rather not receive take down notices from YouTube. I found these through my Japanese roommate, who was really into Japanese pop culture. He would wake up at 4:00 AM once a week to listen to a Japanese radio show that streamed live over the Internet. He said all three of these videos had famous Japanese rappers do the music.
