greenwillow27 for pointing out yet another reason why I love the Japanese:(10-20) 04:00 PDT Tokyo -- On a narrow Tokyo street, near a beef bowl restaurant and a pachinko parlor, Aya Tsukioka demonstrated new clothing designs that she hopes will ease Japan's growing fears of crime.
With a deft motion, Tsukioka, a 29-year-old fashion designer, lifted a flap on the front of her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red with a soft drink logo partly visible. By holding the sheet fully open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers - by disguising herself as a vending machine.
You can find the rest of the article here and it is 100% awesome.
I sent it to a friend at work and she said that she loves that this culture is too embarrassed to make a scene to call for help, but is perfectly fine with pretending to be a vending machine. &hearts

by the way, did you get my comment with the icons? Sorry they're not very good...
I did. I'm just busy and tired, so I haven't replied back. :P
In Japan, not only will the revolution be televised, it will be intercut with stock footage of chainsaw-wielding zombies eating eating human flesh, and vapid Japanese pop sensations making commentary on it. The doujinshi featuring the revolution being gang-banged by alien squids will sell 1.2 billion copies in Chiba prefecture alone. Then they will sell the revolution's used panties in a vending machine in downtown Tokyo.
Your icon gives me pause.
