Books that belong to so-called “Boys’ Love” (Yaoi) are becoming controversial in libraries in Sakai City, Osaka, Japan. After loading of such books was limited due to some complaints by its citizens, the libraries received many complaints from the opposite side: “Excluding specific kinds of books is problematic.” And later, this limit was retracted. “They may suddenly change their mind again.” This attitude of the libraries is raising distrust among citizens.
In general, BL novels contain several pages of illustration, and among the 5,500 BL novels that 7 Sakai City Libraries own, roughly 100 books contained sexually explicit illustrations of male-male intercourse. Since these books were also in the most-stolen books list, BL books were normally stacked in closed shelves.
However, BL books were one of the most popular kind of books. Therefore, 4 of the libraries placed them in shelves that anyone could access. In July, they received a complaint from a citizen: “Those books are not appropriate for children.”
The libraries put all BL books back to closed shelves, and decided to loan those books only to above 18 year old adults. This led to the resident’s group’s backlash: “Libraries should never exclude or reject specific books. Political pressure can be an issue.” In November the injunction was revoked and now the libraries started loaning BL books to everyone who wants to access them.
The representative of Sakai City said, “the judgment was too hasty, and a wrong one.”

Loosely translated from:http://d.hatena.ne.jp/chabatake-2007/20081203/p1
Gravure idols are liars.
And I’m not talking about lies like “I don’t have a boyfriend”, “I’m a virgin”, or “I had large breasts since childhood” or things like that.
What I’m talking about is three sizes, especially the waist size. Why does almost every idol say their waist size is either 58cm or 59cm!?!??
Ok everyone prepare a tape measure and make an ellipse whose circumference is 58cm or 59cm. Got it? Now you can see how big or small it is.
And you can also see how those gravure/bikini idols are liars.
“Well,” you may think, “Maybe pictures make 3D figures look bigger and fatter than they are.” Maybe, I can still call them liars for a good reason.
To prove that, I now show you the 3D figure and how it looks like in 2D picture. Take a look at this mannequin (they don’t lie about the size because there is no incentive. Actually they have incentive to make their measure as accurate as possible):
B83 W59 H83

This size is for clothes in a nine, one standard size of female clothes. It’s a slender body, isn’t it?
Now let’s take a look at Nana Akiyama’s picture. Her office three sizes: B84 W59 H84:


Ok, actually I have no complaints for her at all. Her body size doesn’t look that different from the mannequin above, right?
Now let’s move on to this slightly larger mannequin:
B85 W62 H89

And below is Mikie Hara’s pictures. Her official waist size is 61cm.

Ok, it doesn’t look bad from the side…but…

Hmm, the degree of pinched-in-waist-ness is a bit weak here…
(Doesn’t mean she looks bad or anything, just compare her waist with the mannequin above)
And this is W67, just to compare with the other two:
B87 W67 H92


Look, it’s W67. And she doesn’t look fat at all. It’s pretty normal.
I’m not saying they should stop being liars. I’m just saying they don’t have to tell people their waist size is 59cm — when it’s not — to look or sound more attractive. They can be honest AND look attractive at the same time. Why bother lying?
