at least give them a warning of a NSFW site Falling XD.
here is some other article from the same site http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/08/12/an-americans-response-to-japanese-ero-anime/#
what was funny about this is the reaction of the guy in the video and how he was ashamed of liking that kind of anime. I'm guessing for many it is taking the opposite effect of not to watch said anime. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

I don't even know whats a NSFW site?!

Anyway... I assumed that if people saw the link and the part sankakucomplex they already knew whats waiting there... because its not the first time we use links from that website.

Anyway I apologize if someone was shocked with the contents of that website when directed at it by my link.

NSFW is a popular acronym that basically stands for Not Suited For Work. This basically is like something you don't want to get caught watching at work, although you shouldn't even be browsing the internet in other sites at work anyway :P
kroptik bet me to it ;D
Although I haven't had the chance to play through the whole game I keep stumbling on Persona 4 related stuff. and found one of the funniest things ever
if you've played the game you'll get more of the stuff but anyone can still read it
and this has spoilers if you plan to play this game
this is part 1 if hotlinking is not permitted go here http://hiimdaisy.livejournal.com/26044.html

Someone talked about stashes... in the shout box... this is for everyone that has a stash in their room or house...

The overwhelming majority of healthy men at some point maintain a secret porn stash, but even the most painstakingly hidden materials can still be discovered by a girlfriend or other female authority figure, requiring an arsenal of excuses if disaster is to be averted.

Upon discovering such a stash, some women experience emotions of jealousy or find it difficult to reconcile their boyfriend’s imagined disinterest in pornography with its existence. Death or injury has been known to result from encounters with such women.

Thus it is no exaggeration to say that it may in fact be a matter of life and death for men to devise appropriate excuses for the existence of such stashes, and that their very lives may depend on reading the below article.

A Japanese writer offers up 9 possible ways of deflecting such attention from even a Japanese girlfriend:

1. “It’s proof of being a healthy man – everyone has a stash!”
“The standard excuse. Prevaricate by saying everyone does it.”

2. “Well, actually this belongs to my father…”
“Don’t acknowledge ownership. Useful if the content is problematic.”

3. “What, just where did that come from!?” (Tooth Fairy???)
“Play dumb. Just pretend you don’t look at them any more and it was left over from somewhere.”

4. “Try reading it.”
“Counter with a recommendation. May improve intimacy, but may also be rejected.”

5. “I was studying female anatomy.” (Yes, that will work...)
“An excuse attempting to persuade her you were studying so as to be a better lover.”

6. “I’m just looking after it for a friend for [some reason].” (Never take or accept other guys porn stuff)
“For teenagers.”

7. “It’s better than cheating isn’t it?” (Not really)
“A powerful but dangerous technique which puts her trust in you at risk.”

8. “But I just wanted to look…” (Next time use the Internet)
“Try to gain her sympathy by behaving cutely and perhaps turning the tables on her by being angry that she looked.”

9. “Periodically the masculine urges just build up.” (Once or twice a day)
“A desperation measure likening it to a woman’s period to elicit feminine sympathy – portray it as an uncontrollable natural phenomenon.”

Hahaha... ;D

None of that would work on me. But then again, I don't care about men or women watching porn. I would be like: "which century do you live on? Use the Internet, instead. And a good anti-virus! I don't want my computer to catch a OPD (Online Porn Desease)" xD

I wonder which would be worse: a stash of Porn or a stash of Manga&Anime (which is sometimes porn itself, too)?
