cat fighting sex kittens no pussiesErotic women's fights are booming in Japan, with all the trimmings: schoolgirl outfits, firecrackers set off in bodily orifices, and bitter rivalries between leagues. Is this progress? (via Mouth Organ)

The article makes clear that it's the Tokyo Shock Boys who have firecrackers up their butts, not the lady wrestlers.

And you should also know that "schoolgirl outfits" in the Shibuya neighborhood doesn't necessarily mean tartan skirts and saddle shoes.

Something akin to the Impotent Sea Snakes, mixed with Cirque du Soleil, mixed with Sumo, mixed with Larry Flynt, appliquéd with Las Vegas. Grok.

Thank you, CrunchyFrog, for giving me the motivation to use my workday looking for indecent japanese catfight pictures.

I suppose so, if you're a perpetually adolescent Japanese man with a predilection for fetishes that make you look sexually retarded by pretty much any standard of maturity that the rest of the world would care to apply.

Well, given our borderline illiterate government here in the states, they'll soon be cracking down on kitty porn.

MrBaliHai - If you are so sexually mature, and are so ready to call others sexually retarded would you mind sharing what gets you off?

I was under the impression that watching near naked combatants test each other's physical prowess has been a popular form of entertainment in most every human civilization to date.

Pudders, I was this close to smacking your mouth. Now I just have to find the editor of that paper - and smack their mouth.

Neb - I think MrBaliHai was referring to some of the more...arcane and rococco...male expressions of sexuality that are distressingly common in Japan. Semi-nude wrestling ain't nothin', mate.

Will be drinking with Mr. Connell on Monday, as it happens. I'll be sure to smack him one and say, "That's from solistrato, mate."

Should leave him fairly perplexed for the rest of the evening -- sort of his own, private "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" experience. Ha!
