Japanese officials still trying to bury the Comfort Women story
More than a million Japanese are boycotting Japanese Public Television to protest the network's refusal to broadcast a segment.
With a popular aesthetic culture so firmly rooted in the ancient Japanese Hentai tradition of sadomasochistic comic book pornography depicting sex with schoolgirls in little sailor uniforms, the network can't argue that sex doesn't sell.
This is one stain in the carpet that Japanese society ought to have its nose rubbed in again and again. It's good to see real Japanese taking a stand, though.
Sprash, out
