But an even worse evil spread here long before Amway.

According to religious scholars, there are some 2,000 "new religions" in Japan. They include Ho No Hana Sanpogyo, which urges the worship of feet, and Life Space, a group whose leader claims that he doesn't need to eat, bathe or sleep because of his superhuman powers. He is now serving a 15-year prison sentence for murdering a follower and keeping the mummified corpse in a hotel room.

Damn, now that is some whacked sheeot. Come to think of it, I once saw some gaijin Mormon guys walking around a public park and speaking in passable Japanese about their bible to some poor guy who was trying to eat his lunch. All I could think of was that scene from "Orgazmo", where the Japanese chicks and the Mormon guy appear in a really bad porno flick.

....the sense of alienation and desperation deepens with every headline decrying the nation's unemployment rate or senseless schoolyard violence. The collective yearning for someone—anyone—to check the country's spiritual drift is palpable.

....Sounds like the good 'ole USofA to me.


All this talk about Orgazmo makes me want to watch it again....I'd better rush to the video store before everyone else on F*cked Gaijin picks over the shelves.
