Your daily dose of horrifying
(Cross-posted at Women's Glib.)
A few things I can think of that are really fucking wrong with this, just off the top of my seriously pissed off head: a) the whole objectifying women thing. Just a reminder: we don't like being defined by our breasts, or any body part for that matter. And b) that said body parts are fucking for sale. In an arcade game. Where you'd pay something like 50 cents in the hopes of winning this horrendous "prize" and probably wouldn't even beat the machine nine times out of ten.
Stay classy, objectifying motherfuckers.

Hahaha. I giggled, I'll admit it. They don't even look like boobs... they look like weird bouncy balls with nipples painted on?
Wow.
I agree that they really don't look all that much like boobs.
The intent is disgusting, but the execution is shoddy at best.
I laughed. Out of rage.
Don't judge too quickly, it is a different culture.
Fitz, WTF? A different culture? Nope, still the patriarchy.
I swear I clicked on the link and thought "What the fuck? Is that a crane game full of onions?"
Yeah, that's really fucking creepy.
Thats exactly what I thought.
You know what makes it extra surreal? The machine next to it is filled with Winnie The Pooh and Piglet stuffed toys. 0_o
I have to admit, I laughed for a while when I saw that. How much of a loser do you have to be to buy one of those? I'm still laughing.
Same for me.
To be honest, I think it's a little too weird to really be offensive. The last thing I thought of when looking at those was "breasts", "sex" or "woman".
Me too.
Is this even real?
I dunno, this is Japan....not that they get a pass, or anything, but Japan is WEIRD. And I say that affectionately, because it's my home away from home. But Japan's culture of sexuality is just bizarre. This is actually one of the more harmless things to come out of that country (used underwear machines, anyone? Rape simulation video games?), and it's actually too silly for me to be mad...
And the name of the machine is apparently a Pearl Harbor reference... how this relates to boobs, I'm not sure.
