AKIHABARA=HENTAI misaligned and misinformed realities crumble as new equations are built upon the concrete remains. yes akihabara is the electronic city but it is not bargain bargain bargain, not unless you are the all seeing all dancing left-handed one of the divine. deals are for the "active surplus, queen st." type. this is called otaku city but one must confuse the average north american nerd with this new hyper-realized nerd referred to here as otaku. while similar in character, but quite different in temperment. socially awkward to the level of aberration, near abhorrent levels. sexually disturbed, like twisted monsters, if you've ever seen "perfect blue" you've just witnessed the modern otaku. nothing else explains the dolls pictured above. perfectly idealized adorable doll for the otaku, just beautiful empty shells for the dispossessed. hollow like the modern soul.
now this i find in an electronic department store. the average store has at least 5 floors upwards to 9. this is supposed to be a massage chair but rides more like a rodeo toy. hmmm, i wonder what useful applications this device may have...
