wtf?

Check out the list of Billpoint "prohibited items". Most of them make perfect sense, but in the last section "misc items", why was it necessary to specifically list "soiled underwear"? Is that a common ebay purchase? There must have been a history of problems with purchases of nasty skidmarked gitch or something. What is the world coming to?

ROTFLMAO!!!

Promotional CD's are on the list. A bit strange, I think. Why?

The company I work for produce many promotional CD's. As a matter of fact, I'm working on one now.

These things are collecters items (Can't tell you why), but apparently some people think they are worth a lot of money. Why can't you sell something even though you got it for free in the first place?

Why can't they be sold on Ebay?

[Wombat]

Yeah, there apparently is a market for soiled underwear. Some people actually get off on "used" women's underwear. Ick, no thank you.

[Gurm]

The Japanese, God bless them, are into a lot of perverted things. Among them are vomiting, scatology, and soiled panties. *ahem*

I've never seen one but in this country there are vending machines for everything including used high school girl underwear

I saw a web site about that game where you use the cyber hand to anally invade the fake ass of the "game." I will not claim to understand it, and I don't approve of it, but it sure boggles the mind.

[Sasq]

maybe its represion, due to cultural reasons my partner can be umm errr how shall i say this, somewhat retentive at times concerning what is 'normal' - and before you think it guys i'm refering to everday life as well here.

The amount of 'mens' manga here boggles the mind, maybe its just a way to vent so to speak

If you feel that you have too much H-manga over there, please consider sending some of it here
Nah but seriously, I've sometimes wondered why all these things popped up in Japan. Is that because (at least some) men used to treat women like some sort of puppets, and now that there is this sexual equality thing going on they can't (publically) do that anymore? So they make videos and comics and stuff where girls are "what they used to be", pure and innocent <- (yeah right) and where they are humiliated in all imaginable ways.
Or have I misunderstood the whole thing? Please enlighten me.

I wonder what's left that you can put up on their site, when they've included "Adult items" as well on the prohibited list.

Btw, anyone care to shine a light on what "Adult items" specifically are?

Jord.

Tempest - sexual equality - where which country not the one i'm in.

Women still are paid way way less here. 99.9% of women give up their job when they get married or have children. Actually its hard for a woman aged 28-35 to get a job because the employer expects her to leave.

To quote my gilfriend the womans movement here tended to use the slogan of "I am woman hear me roar - now what would you like for dinner dear?"

However your perception of attitudes in public is more or less correct as far as I've seen. However my girlfriend is scared that when she is pregnant (far far future guys) and she moves home in the last stages as is per tradition I'll also have an affair - as per tradition.

-of course this is not helped by the fact she's a divorce lawyer

As far as why they have these comics and the whole inocent girl tortured thing. I'm not exactly sure. Some things -socially(not just sexual) that have a huge importants to us in the west arn't even considered worth thinking about and vice versa.

I will ask the g/f tonight if she has any idea why its so popular

A few years back, when I still used to buy car magazines that featured lots of baseball cap wearing yoofs, one of them had an article on Japanese street racers - people who bolt enough goodies onto their Skylines/Supras etc to get them to go in excess of 200kph, and would race along the Japanese highways at night.
Apparently not a few people, including mere spectators, have been killed when someone loses it at that sort of speed.
When the intrepid reporter questioned some of the drivers/spectators about the lethality of this sport, the response was "Yeah, some people get killed. So?"

[dZeus]

I think the same happens in Europe (at least scandinavia).

Check 'movies' like 'Getaway in Stockholm'

[Tempest]

It happens all over the world where young people have a chance to get cars. Check out http://www.teamprestige.com/Video.htm and the "News Footage" link to see a short story about this happening in the US of A. Oh yeah, I forgot, they don't race on the streets... Just on closed sections of the road

Talk about going offtopic... We've come from dirty panties to illegal road racing

H manga

well I just spoke to the g/f about eh hentai manga etc.

Her opinion is that culturaly Japan isn't free, everyone has to care about their station in society etc. so its a form of over compensation. You've all heard stories about the hardworking 'salaryman' its just their way of escaping to a fantastic life that is completly oposite to their own.
