INTEREST: Ro-Kyu-Bu! Lolita Tote Bag, T-Shirt Offered in Japan

I get a chuckle out of the existence of these sort of joke items but I have to wonder how many people actually buy them. It doesn't seem like you'd have much opportunity to show off owning it. I guess maybe at douchey events.

Bonus Round: Can you guess which of the two G8 countries where it is legal to possess (but not produce) live-action kiddie pr0n? Here's a hint: one is Russia, and the other is...

Or how about one of the world's largest consumers of child pr0n?

Stay Classy, Japan.m

Last I checked, there are no lolitas in Ro-Kyu-Bu! only lolis.

This is so depressing, but I thought that Japan made it illegal like 10 or 15 years ago to possess that stuff?

Truth.

While the tote is borderline, the t-shirt, especially on your avg. overweight pasty otaku, is... Yeah, just go ahead and make your reservations for prison right now. I'm sure your 400 lb. gorilla of a new roomie will just LOVE to meet you.

PS. Your prison name will be Candy.

As of 2009, the British watchdog organization Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) reports Asia as a whole only hosts 7% of child sexual abuse material being supplied into the Internet.
http://www.iwf.org.uk/resources/trends#Location
North America is at 48% and Europe is at 44%.

This has consistently been the case.

According to the IWF, between 1996 to 2006 51% of servers that hosted child abuse images were located in the United States, 20% was in Russia, 7% was in Spain, and only 5% was located in Japan.

What about consumers of child pornography?

For this we have the Italian watchdog organization Telefono Arcobaleno’s 2009 report.

That's a very convincing link you have there.


I personally find this to be much more convincing.
