T-shirt is ok, but where is the figure? unless its the little UFO things.

I thought Yaoi was like soft-core gay comics in Japan aswell

You mean Mandarake site. It's bursting at the seams with all kinda porn. I wanna rainbow Skullbrain ? Japan does not seem so conservative as far as that stuff goes.

Shape,
Japan has very different attitudes about sex than Western Society does.

To sum it up (very briefly), Japan's cultural attitudes about sex did not develop with Christianity imbedded in their culture.

so they'll take our religion but won't take our bids on YJA?!?!?!?!

The porn is a bit - erm liberal.

I find it funny that the Yaoi stuff (if i'm spelling it right) gets on peoples nerves more than the hentai which most of the time borders on rape/underage themes

Hey Chad, I think Japan is GREAT - I wish we were more open minded in the USA. We tend to create stigmas of just about anything thats different. Hooray for DEMOCRACY, now lets FORCE it on the WORLD ! Buncha shit !!!

Here is an example that is sure to freak some out- a Japanese woman getting it on with an octopus might be considered erotic in Japan but in America it is considered beastiality and condemned by society.

That just reminds me of Legend of the Overfiend with 'shaped' tentacles

but..
doesnt japan not allow pictures of of actual insertion of sexual organs?
thus the octopus represents the phallus?
and also dont they black out insertion in porn mags that are imported/

the Japanese don't show pubic hair (and thus no insertion)...

Hardcore straight sex in the UK is virtually outlawed here anyway.

That scene in Family Guy about British porn is spot on.

we picked up 3 different porn mags when i lived in the UK to show my friends back here.. straight, gay, and lesbian.. cause its so funny to look at "porn" and not see much but black bars
lol

but isn't it okay to drink alcohol in the UK when you're a minor?

haha i knew there was something weird about japan with it..
its odd to see how "liberal" some places are.. but then how much more conservative..
like the UK will show alot more on tv than US but.. no good porn for you
haha

The legal age is 18, but theres a couple of loop-holes like if you're with guardians you can have a drink in a pub at 14 (I think) and you can have a tipple at home.

We're all hardened drinkers here anyway, you have to start young, usually about 13.

They wonder why we're a little messed up.

JP porn cracks me up, for reals.

4 realz

Those little space ships were some kind of colab. with SB. I picked up a few at Giant Robot last time I was in L.A.

are they collabs or just toys that sb is selling?
SB shop has a toys they like and sell that aren't sb...

The box has the SB logo on it. They are pretty heavy for little ships, they also come with a base.

cool
when i was at sb they had all this little skeleton and pirate esque little toys

i like the one sb shirt (white)
but probably not enough to wear it

Were they cool looking or just kinda plain?

Yaoi?

Is't that...er...
two dudes..uhhhhh?

When I google Junichi Yaoi I get tons of links about UFO sightings. Apparently he is/was a professor of paranormal phenomena. Strange.

Oh! He's the dude that started the UFO museum?
