Big in Japa Cambodia

Japanese imports such as cars and electronics have apparently long been top-sellers in Cambodia, but judging by recent reports, a new product can be added to the list.

Condoms. Yes, Japanese condoms. Ten months ago, Well Trading thrust Okamoto condoms onto an unsuspecting Cambodian market. In this short time, sales have risen dramatically, penetrating deep into the market. And whilst it’s a little premature to make predictions at this early stage, the Japanese brand may just sneak up from behind and come out on top.

Sigh.

Used schoolgirl underwear ban?

Tokyo’s used underwear industry was in a state of shock today, as it has been reported that the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly intends to put a stop to used underwear trading. The new regulations – when they come into effect – will admittedly only stop the selling of panties worn by teenage girls, but with sales of middle-aged men’s undergarments not the strongest, the industry it is feared could be damaged beyond repair.

Rumours of frantic bulk buying since the news surfaced has been denied, but insiders are said to be expecting a marked increase in orders over the coming weeks. One even predicting that some schoolgirls could be going through three or four pairs a day to keep up with the demand.

Sexy football

It would seem that the hullabaloo surrounding Fifa president Sepp Blatter’s comments on women’s football have begun to die down.

For anybody unaware of this story, Fifa’s illustrious leader decided to weigh in with his suggestions on how to make the women’s game more popular. Mr. Blatter is quoted as saying,

“Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball.”

And just in case there was any doubt as to what he was proposing, he went on to say that,

“They could, for example, have tighter shorts. Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men – such as playing with a lighter ball. That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?”

Now generally I don’t agree with most of Mr. Blatter’s utterings, but the picture below made me think that this time he might just be on to something.

Wet T-shirt competition

Despite being somewhat dissimilar to its Western counterpart, this could be Japan’s answer to the infamous wet T-shirt contest. Admittedly the differences are glaringly obvious, as for starters it takes place at a temple or shrine rather than a bar. Plus the water is icy cold. And it has to be said they aren’t even wearing T-shirts. But it’s kind of the same. Isn’t it?

Either way they seem to be enjoying it.

And just to keep the ladies happy, here’s a picture of the men’s wet headband contest. The fella in the middle appears intent on getting his headwear very wet indeed.

Stained underwear?

“As the prize has become more famous, sales of S-Check have increased.”

This is a quote from Takeshi Makino, the winner of the 1999 Ig Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

And what you may ask is S-Check?

Well, apparently it’s a product women can use to spray on their husband’s under garments to detect semen. Hence the name I guess. S-Check does sound much better than Semen Check it has to be said.

I don’t really want to delve too far into this murky subject, but surely this could lead to false accusations. For starters, what if hubby has been, erm, you know, pleasing himself? Or how about if…

Ah, that’s enough I think.
