Game Company Uses Breasts to Get Players
In Japan, business is war.
And nowhere is this truer than in the gaming industry where every game developer tries to outsmart (and thereby, also outsell) the next rival, by coming up with innovative ways of doing business.
So the creators of the PC-based game Married Women Harem: This is the Married Women Paradise Inn, came up with an unusual ad strategy to draw customers—through boobs (genuinely-fake ones).


If you go up to the fifth floor of the recently-opened megastore (September 2007) of the Japanese electronics retailer, Sofmap, in the heart of the Akihabara shopping district, you’ll be greeted with not the regular pile of fliers and brochures, but life-sized cardboard cutouts fitted with ginormous silicone-breasts draped in sexy lingerie.
And what’s more, they’re meant to be fondled.
That’s right.
A large sign that reads, “Squeeze All You Want,” actually tells a buyer that’s it quite all right, to cop a feel.
What could happen next is that you may want to fill out that (pre) order form, before you exit the store.

Why just breasts? To be fair, they should have silicone penises as well.Considering Japan is a sexist country,it’s no wonder.
Hey, it’s japan, if they had a penis, it would have to be pixelated.
That’s probably what it meant when my horoscope said “KABOOM
Why isn’t America so open like Japan!!! I’d love to see random things out there
Because it’s America, and in America if people see something they could pretend to have offended them they run to the nearest attorneys (snakes) office.
I don’t think so. Think of the children.
I actually came across these this weekend. Sofmap isn’t on my normal stop list but it was close to a store that was damn near giving away 2GB memory cards. I was sad I didn’t have anything better than my cell phone to cap a photo. Thanks!
“Considering Japan is a sexist country,it’s no wonder.”
Wow, I wish I lived in the “non-sexist” country that Tourex lives in.
So, um … just which country *is* that again? I can’t find it on any of my maps or globes.
One thing about Japan though: I can guarantee that there are countless women who walk up to the display, give it a good “squeeze” and then laugh ’til their sides hurt.
“Sexist” or not, people in Japan (women and men alike) aren’t outraged about sex or even worried about it all that much.
– But why aren’t people in Japan as upset about sex issues?
The reason for this has a lot to do with the divergent social norms of eastern and western (er, actually “mid-eastern”) religions. One prime example of these religious/social underpinnings: Abraham mutilated his own penis in an act of insanity, shortly after hearing voices in his head and trying to murder his own son … Buddha did not. This is no isolated comparison. It is part of a greater pattern.
Sounds to me like “Seriously Calm Down” has gone a little insane himself - Abraham did NOT mutilate himself, at least not according to any sources known to man. And he didn’t attempt to murder his own son - he just obeyed God to give a picture of what would happen to Jesus nearly 2000 years later, namely that he would die as a sacrifice and rise again. Of course Buddha didn’t do that - he didn’t do anything much except talk and meditate, I gather.
