Lessons Learned #234 - Danish Porn

When a friend asks your wife and you to watch a Danish movie that's intermittently hard-core porn to help out with her figuring how to market it on DVD ...

... say no.

Actual conversation:

"God, that room-mate character -- she's HIDEOUS! Fifty-year old women with bad nose jobs and collagen lips should not be doing -- AGGGHHH!"

"SWEET GOD! Is that her idea of sexy, advancing on his crotch with her eyes rolled back and tongue gaping out off her unhinged maw --"

"Seriously. In the fucked-up Japanese anime version of this film, she would be a sexy Japanese girl, but then she'd lift her skirt to reveal that face flicking her tongue out at you."

"You could sell that movie in Japan."

"I could build an industry on that movie in Japan."

I'm the DVD guy - how come I didn't get that call?

I've lived in Japan and seen my fair share of Japanese porn, both real and animated. Believe me, you could peddle something far more freakish over there and still rake in the cash.

If you are planning on cracking into the high-end Japanese porn market, John (watch out for the Yakuza!), I have one word for you:

Tentacles.

Speaking of Japanese porn and tentacles, did you see that picture that Ellis had over on his site? With the Japanese woman and the squid? Or maybe it was an octopus.

I think that Centauri (from Babylon 5) porn could help bridge the gap between these two cultures.

Some things should be left to the countries that they're know for: us Irish like the odd drink or 17, the Japanese are great at ground-breaking electronic technology, and Americans are great at exporting fantastic porn! european stuff is always a let down and slightly scary..need I say more than 'Razzle'?

Oh god. I've seen that movie. Even people who like edgy, avant-garde stuff can't stand that movie. I don't envy the person who has to figure out how to market it to Americans.
