publicity

everyday anyone in Japan receives sth like 30 different ads in the mailbox
here is a prominent example of underwear pub:
the underwear that is supposed to fix any body problem, and make us looking great outside, and die squeezed inside....

oh and another new local invention is the ghost radar (supposed to ring and inform us if there is a ghost nearby and what is more they will also tell us what type of ghost it is!!!!!!!!!!!)
from times online :
The Times took the radar to two of the most notoriously haunted places in Tokyo. The first, in the middle of the Otemachi financial district, was Taira no Masakado, the shrine of a decapitated descendant of Emperor Kammu whose ghostly disembodied head will reportedly slay anyone attempting to move the monument. Even the presence of this unspeakable evil did not cause the ghost radar to flicker. It did, however, register a type-6 moving spirit as it passed a drinks vending machine about 250 metres away.

autumn and food

liers

a friend just told me about recent study where Japanese, Chinese and few other Asian nations are rated as the most likely to lie. I do not think that they actually lie this much but study counted events like telling someting to make other person feel good (ie you look nice today) or not telling about a problem in the company as lies. It is pretty much tied with the hierarchy in the companies, in Japan hierarchy is very important, showing respect and loyality to the boss, maintaining good name of the company saving face etcIn Nordic countries that were rated as non-liers the structures are flat and the boundaries between posts blurred.

anyway as far as the lies are concerned here is a recent ad from a newspaper magic cream that makes your wrinkles dissapear
