not only is japan weird, it's dirty

There is a new release section in my video store. The new releases are set out by genre in columns: kiddies, then romantic comedy, drama, etc. There is but one genre that does not have to play by the rules: PORN. The new release soft-core porn is displayed in one row along the highest shelf. Now, they've had the decency to not put any porn along the top of the children's new release shelf, but it is right next to it. And they've made no attempt whatsoever to keep it away from where slightly older kids might venture. Anyone wanting to rent "Freaky Friday", for example, would have to look this lady's foam filled behind right in the face (see picture below). Even worse, the entire children's video section is directly in front of this new release shelf!
So what's the logic here? Do they figure that little people are too short to be able to see the top shelf? That's definitely not true. I tried crouching down and looking up. Do they simply not care whether kids see it or not? Or whether anyone (like me) might be offended by it? I know Americans are notoriously more prudish than other nationalities, but someone out there must agree with me that this is somewhat inappropriate. The other very creepy option is that they're game to advertise to anyone... get 'em while they're young! I wouldn't put this past Japan. This country (and I actually mean Japan when I say that, not Okinawa in particular) is brimming with perviness. Seriously.

Just take the fact that all the school girls are required to be dressed up in sailor suits with knee high socks and short pleated skirts. They've got these ubiquitous photo machines in Japan that kids go into and make little collage sticker-pictures of themselves in, then they give them to all their friends or put them on their cellphones, etc. There's a big industry where pervy guys pay little girls to take suggestive or half naked pictures of themselves in their school uniforms in the perikura machines. There's even a special word for it in Japanese (which I read and forgot). Grooooooooooss. And grown women are expected to act like 5 year olds until... well, just about forever. Is it sexy? Believe me, it gets really aggravating to live around after a while. How many 45 year old women do I want to hear giggle over their Lilo and Stitch pen-case, their Sleeping Beauty cellphone dangly, their Sponge Bob Square Pants lunchbox tupperware? Did you know that some horrific percentage of Japanese couples go to Disneyland for their honeymoons? Almost 80% of my female coworkers had done so at one memorable lunch-time discussion about weddings. I was flabbergasted, as you can imagine. Being forced to go to a theme park is one of my worst nightmares (right after drowning and having giant cockroaches crawl all over me).

Anyway. I'd complain to my video store, except I don't speak Japanese and they don't speak English. Maybe I can get my supervisor to help me.
