Well I was reading my favorite blog, that doesn't belong to me, and I came across an article that confused me a bit. In Japan men are getting more and more lonely. Weird, huh? "Why would you say that?" I'm sure your thinking, well that's because of all the technology coming out in Japan that's designed for men over the age of 20 is... well, lonely? Here let me show you.
Sega Toys are releasing a toy in Japan that will listen to you, when no one else will. The Pekkopa, an electronic fake plant! It will listen to you and respond to what you said. Do you have a secret that you just have to get off your chest? It'll move closer to hear every word. Do you have a sad story? Did you have a bad day? Well it feels your pain, and bows it's head in sadness. So now all those lonely Japanese men can have something to talk to!
That's not all, apparently men from Japan have never talked to a woman. Don't worry though! Because they have a product for that too!!!
"Well now there's a DVD out in Japan that contains 96 minutes of nothing but women just staring at you. They hardly talk, they don't move much, but they will stare the hell out of you. Don't worry, there is blinking involved, so it's not totally freaky. So what's the point of this thing? It's to help Japanese men gain confidence around women. It can be kind of uncomfortable around women if you're not used to it, so this DVD takes care of that job for you. & with 50 different women in total, you'll cure that shyness in no time. A few samples from the DVD can be seen below. Included is your typical Japanese girl with cleavage showing, a white women, & a... a little girl. I'm afraid to ask, really."
Not just that, but now I came across the continuation to that article.
"Meet EMA, the Eternal Maiden Actualization cyborg. She's only 38cm (15in) tall & will cost $175 when she goes on sale this September. But she does act like a girl by doing certain things like blowing kisses, singing, & dancing. & hey, she kinda has a chest going on there in the video above. On top of that, if you have two EMAs you can make them fight each other over you."
Creepy? No! Eccentric? No! Lonely? YES!

Well, now I don't feel quite so lonely.
Entertaining as always, and it's good that you are learning about other cultures.
:)
Very interesting. Who knew? I think its a bit creepy. Why don't they interact with people more, then maybe they wouldn't be so lonely. Plants listening to your deep dark secrets? Hmmm... sounds like conspiracy to me... I bet its the goverment. Big brother's watching again.
