Man Hitler is really popular in Asia.  I can only conclude more than a few Asians hate Russians and/or Jews.  Come to think of it that is a pretty big constituency.

More seriously, I suspect they just think he's an important and iconic figure, and are unaware of or indifferent to the horror with which he's viewed in other parts of the world.

It's like some kids wearing a Mao or Che Guevera shirt. They often have no idea who these folks actually were.

edit: Nah, on second thoughts I'll delete what I said.

I just mentioned Che because he's an iconic figure commonly found on t-shirts, not because I think he's comparable to Hitler. Very few using his image as a pop icon could say exactly who he was or what he'd done.

Fair enough...PS...I have a Che shirt...

I heard a story once, that is supposedly true, the guy who wrote Life of Pi told me it--I'd name drop but I can't remember his name--anyways, he told me that in Japan girls were taught the Holocaust using Anne Frank's diary. The one thing that the girls really liked though, was how frank (heh) Anne Frank was about menstruation. So that it was common for Japanese girls to tell other girls..."I just had my Anne Frank."

Yann Martel...that's it.

that isn't attractive at all! Any step down the road of frank self-disclosure about one's bodily functions is a peril. Pure maidens should be ashamed to tears about their menstruation, gradually mellowing into a knowing acceptance of one's weak imperfections that renders them modest and reserved in other aspects of life.

Chicks like that typically don't howl like banshees when they get they rocks off.

I'm not sure that Lettow really that much into chicks.

I agree with you here dude.  Women may NOT have bodily functions of any kind.

You -want- a woman to cry out in delight? How revolting!

She is, after all, not supposed to be enjoying it at all; she is -debasing- herself, submitting to a horrible indignity under the terrible constraints of social expectation, personal obligation, and biological imperative. It is an ordeal. How she bears it says a lot about her, of course; a mature lady might be expected to accept it with a certain resignation. In a woman more comparatively shielded from the excesses of sin and iniquity, we could expect some degree of crying, before of afterwords.

An important take away of course is that everything is about appearances; it is unreasonable to place upon her the expectation that she not enjoy it at all, but she can at least -pretend-. (There is, indeed, an entire sublevel of erotic interplay between some amorous, indecent creature putting on an unconvincing show of horror and distaste) Shame is rightfully strongly correlated with sexuality, and can have an enhancing effect. (This is one of the primary highlights of the philosophy behind bukkake, as I believe I explained to languish some time ago.)

Jellyfish don't look like they could flop, speared or not.

She never menstruates; she's pregnant all the time.

This is true.  After all, you've never seen a Tribble wear a Tampax.
