Three words: Weekly World News.

The guy obviously likes older women?

Could make for a good sequel to You Got Mail. Though if the script writers do decide to use AOL as an communication front again, well,.. I can understand. :heh:

Lol wierd story stupid perverted lonely men ( who like older ladies )? -.-

haha.
this woman was cheating on her husband with her son.
zomg

It's not just the boy though: the mother was looking for a date online too.

But think how they must both feel. The mother and son were making passes at each other online. And this woman has been married for 27 years, and she's looking for a "good time" online.

I wonder how the mother and son could even talk to each other after that - awkward moments ahead.

Oh wow she even scanned a fake picture and everything .. well she was only 52 or so i suppose thats not as bad as 70 ? i wonder if she said her real age tho humm lol , still very awkward moments ahead indeed :P maybe they'll just have a laugh about it..

I'm suprised that's all the dad did.

EDIT: Now it makes sense...

Reread this post, guys.

Here's another "true story" from Weekly World News:

http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/en...465880005.html

Read about this on FileFront a week ago.

Tought luck. Especially for the cheating woman.

I seriously find that hard to believe..But just incase -grabs a knife- I'm having potatoes today..Better stab them before I eat; And maybe they'll even make me smarter :P


ON the case with the boy and his mother. REALLY AKWARD. Personally if I were the father (I agree with Yuiichi) I'd divorce. I mean..COME ON. I'D FEEL A BIT STUPID IF YOUR OWN WIFE HAD A THING FOR YOUR SON.

Arrrrgghhh! :eyespin:

Everything with the byline "Weekly World News" is a joke! There is not actually a guy who dated his mother online, they just thought it was an amusing idea, so there is no need to sympathize! They write about "Bigfoot's Runaway UFO Bride" too!

Santarchy!
 

Found this rather odd news article (comcast news)

40 drunk people dressed in Santa Claus costumes robbing stores :D

They say they were protesting Christmas, but I think it was all for the free beer :heh: .

heh ... sort of Oedipus for the modern age, only without the children and literal "killing" of his father :p...

Thats who he was. Thanks for reminding me!

Ya, at least this time, he didnt poke his eyes out.

NO more gropers in japan subways
 

Japan's Groping Problem
The Gropes of Wrath

In Japan, more than 4000 men are arrested each year for groping on trains. This is about five times the number in 1992.

In 2001, a survey of two private high-schools in Tokyo revealed that more than 70% had been groped on the train.

A recent survey of Japanese companies suggested that at least 17% of Japanese women have been groped.
Police crackdown

The mid-1990s brought a nationwide police crackdown on train gropers. Plain-clothes police officers were assigned to the worst affected trains during rushhour. Advertising campaigns gave advice to women who thought they were being molested: to thrust the offending hand in the air and yell "chikan" (groper).

Unfortunately, this hasn't emboldened many Japanese women. Surrounded by strangers, most women would rather pretend nothing unusual is happening than create a scene. Gropers exploit this, and pick their victims carefully.

Some of the "victims" aren't so innocent, and false accusations of groping are increasing. The shame associated with chikan makes it possible for especially enterprising young women to blackmail fellow train users.

Faced with a hysterically shrieking woman, most men are willing to be led to the nearest ATM and part with large sums of money (US$3000 isn't uncommon).

Women Only Carriages

An obvious solution to the problem is to introduce a "Gropers Only" carriage, and then the randy little tykes might fondle each other to death. Controversially, this was rejected.

Instead, "Women Only" carriages have been introduced at peak times on the most crowded lines. A guard is usually present to enforce this, politely telling any man who fails to read the pink sign to get in a different carriage with all the other perverts.

Generally, this has alleviated the problem, but there has been an unexpected side- effect. Any woman who finds herself outside the rosy sanctum of the “Women Only” car is viewed as fair game. After all, if she didn’t want her intimate parts mauled, she wouldn’t be there!

The behaviour of women in the safe zone has also drawn complaints. Momentarily freed from the rigid sexist expectations of Japanese society, a carriage of OLs can adjust their make-up and prattle away on their phones as much as they like, drawing complaints from other passengers.

The Groper's Brotherhood

Meanwhile, what of the gropers? Who’s thinking about the degenerates? All they ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being. On the buttocks, or maybe on the breasts. Is that a crime?

Fortunately, help is at hand. You need look no further than Shigeru Oohori: “elite salariman”, loving husband/father, and head of "Chikan Tomo-No-Kai" ("The Groper’s Brotherhood"). He has assembled a 40-strong group of deviants from all walks of life, including teachers, government officials and a Buddhist priest (Buddhism seems to have an ambiguous attitude to molesting strangers in public places). Not just any horny freak can join though: a black belt 5th dan groper is expected to cop 100 sleazy feels a month.

According to Oohori, gropers come in two main categories. "Orthodox" gropers, about 80% of the fondling population, get their kicks from the girl’s look of disgust and embarrassment. The "Technician" is a rarer and far more admirable breed. With practiced technique, they subtly titillate their gropees into a state of subconscious arousal.

This chikan elite meet once a month in a Tokyo café to touch base and play with some new ideas. Over the internet, they warn each other of police crack-downs on certain train-lines. They even run practical mauling workshops, hiring girls to be bothered by them on crowded commuter trains, and offering criticism and tips.

There are special " image clubs" (imekura) catering for chikan, with tailor-made rooms built to look like subway carriages, and prostitutes paid extra to act like unsuspecting commuters.

In the words of their sensei: "Groping was once a solitary activity, but now thanks to the Internet it's become easy to link up with people who share the same kind of sexual interests."

any comments feel free to add ...:)

All i can say is this... It must be very boring in Japan that people have to pick up some interesting hobbies...

Holy hell 0__o Where did you find all that info?
I knew about some pervs coping feels on crowded trains, but never knew they had orginized and even had clubs catering to the fetish in such an extreme way.

The gropers formed a Brotherhood!? That sounds more weird than creepy. Either way, it's so nice to know that some perverts are organized and honest enough to form an organization about feeling women up.

Hahahahahahahahaha... Wow...that's interesting... If I were a woman, I'd keep away from trains :D

"The Groper’s Brotherhood"?.... "Image clubs"?...

Dude that is so wrong on so many levels... O__o;;

I was aware of the groping problem in japan, but I didn't expect it to get worse. So now that there are women only cars, and no groping signs in the subways, the gropers have banded together to discuss tactics? heh heh The only way this could be any better is if that buddhist priest happens to be named Miroku.

One question though, if htere was actually shame associated with groping women in subways, why has it become so prevelent? One would think the shame factor would keep it from getting completely out of hand.

Maybe it's the excitement they get from the risk of getting caught. A lot of people do illegal stuff, such as shoplifting, because of this. But I can't believe they actually see groping like a competitive sport...

the info was taken from the net :D

While not exactly silly, it is still germane to the current subject.

Japan 'groper' dies after fleeing

Exactly. It's one of the malaises that happens everyday in commuting, but no one gives a shit because people have other issues to worry about. But when a girl is brave enough to scream "chikan!" people will jump at the perpetrator.

But then again, our laws tend to be so weird that the fine for groping is only 50,000 yen (approx. USD$500), so men who do get caught just pays the damn fine and get let off.

This is a country who laws are full of political bullshit and red-tape in which a rapist who destroyed a child's future gets a sentence of only three years, probably let off in two for "good behavior," whereas another rapist with the same crime gets handed down the death sentence with no chance of parole.

japan is just a messed up place it seems parents have "pleasure" their children to get their minds back to studying, all the school girls seem like prostitutes and every guy over there is a pervert.

The worlds jus plain messed up anyway .. lol

This is what happens when too many nerds watch "Densha Otoko".

^wow somebody feels high about themself (-_-)

*edit* sorry, It just pisses me off when somebody thinks they're higher then somebody.

Hehe. Well the Japanese do seem to have a higher libido then the rest of the world. I wonder if any other countries have 2000 groping incident a year in their subway. :o

It's cause nobody recognizes the problem, it's the gropees who never scream when they're groped. The gropers understand this submissive mentality of their gropees, so they willingly take advantage of it.

I used to be a groper back in my school days. We used to play this game called "Nervous" it basically entailed of a girl and a boy taking turns to feel each other up until one screams "NERVOUS!" Then the shenanigans would stop and we'd have a right good laugh. Of course, I hardly ever said the word and once or twice, I almost ended up getting a fully-fledged handjob during lesson. :twitch:

Hah, i'd be real funny if she was cheating on her husband on her son XD

:D, ohh nice game.

Huh?... I was only making a joke...

According to some statistics I read a few years ago (that I wouldn't take seriously; I don't remember exactly where I read them, but I think it was probably a tabloid... I don't read tabloids in general, but this was for a school project), Japan was at the bottom of the list for "how often married couples have sex in a year" while America was at the top. The number they gave Japan was something around low- to mid-200's. I don't remember what America received, though, but it was under 400. Keep in mind that there are 365 days in the year ;)

If there's any truth in those statistics, it'd make for a very interesting social analysis project. Contrast the sexually repressive America (Puritan values) with a nation like Japan, and find out why it is that they have more fetishes and less sex. (Or maybe some of the fetishes are so warped that it gets in the way of sex? Who knows.)

I read a similar list with Japan at the bottom. Not really sure where, but I think the Greeks were at the top of the list.

According to the Durex Survey (2001):

• Americans appear to have the most sex at 132 times a year, with the Russians close behind at 122 times a year, the French at 121, and the Greeks at 115.
• The countries with the lowest frequency of sex are Japan (37 times per), Malaysia (62) and China (69).
• Couples living together report having sex 146 times per year.
• Married couples make love 98 times per year.

According to the 2003 Durex Sruvey:

• Eastern Europeans (Hungarians, Bulgarians, and Russians) are the most sexually active (150).
• Americans were low on the frequency list in 2003 at 118 times per year.
• The three countries with the lowest sexual frequency were Sweden (102), Maylasia (100), and Singapore (96).

It should also be noted that 48% of women admitted to faking an orgasm. (Sorry guys. Work on your control.)
