J-Factoid: In Japanese the word “turtle-head” is a slightly off-color joke. In Japanese, the characters for “turtle-head”—kitou—is the medical term referring to the head of the male member.

Risque Business (The Love Machine)
The solution was as creative as it is odd-sounding — the machines were countered by invoking the Antique Dealings Law, a statute which stipulates that an antique dealer or a dealer in second-hand items must obtain permission from local authorities. Lacking those permissions, the items could not be vended.
In September 1993, three businessmen were charged with selling used panties without a permit under the provenance of this law. This supposedly ended the presence of such salespoints in that country, but like we said at the top of this piece, countless readers have since written to tell us that the machines can still be found.
Do you need to learn karate, exercise and master the subtleties of 1980s rap music?
Look no further.

The Japanese Intertubes are boring today so I figure I would post a few odd scans of things sent in to me by readers recently such as this Japanese fabric pattern targeting the tourist market of foreigners in early 1950s. It has sort of a kinky vibe of Mid-Century Modernism*, doesn’t it?

The first time a foreigner encounters a hi-tech Japanese toilet is always amusing. In the following video, a foreign fellow is flummoxed by all the fun-tech.
The first sink with the pink liquid soap dispenser is a sink for baby diaper changing and for cleaning off babies. Handicapped bathrooms get used more for diaper changing than by the handicapped. This sink is like a heavy-duty French bidet but it has a mighty flush (in case some crazy person tries to put a diaper down it).
Next is a Japanese squirting toilet with a heated seat and butt blow drying function. The heated seat is very common in Japan because the Japanese haven’t invented central heating. The controls of this Japanese toilet are somewhat off-set in a non-intuitive place—Normally the controls are located right next to the toilet seat.
Finally you can see on the left is a small hand washing sink. Above that sink is a row of buttons that control the Japanese bidet toilet. On the right of the screenshot is the manual flush button (the toilet has an auto-flush sensor) and an emergency alarm button to summon help.
The layout of this particular toilet is rather jumbled and Japanese folks also get confused on how to use all the functions. Often the staff in charge of the toilet have to print out additional instructions and tape them on the wall. If you notice the “Stop” button for squirting and the “Emergency call” button are both orange-red in color and Japanese old people (and foriegners) are always pushing wrong button.
7 Lucky Ninja Kids (1989) was a fun 1986 Hong Kong kids comedy originally called “7 xiao fu” (Lucky Seven) that was edited and dubbed into engrsh for worldwide release (IMDB.com). The odd thing is film has:
