Sufferin Succotash - Purportedly Pornographic Proclivities
Read for yourself. Nuff Said...
McDonald's customers suspected something amiss when one guy pulled out his whopper. They knew for sure when he began partaking of fur burger. The upshot was four people trying to make an adult movie in a fast food outlet ended up getting arrested, says Friday (5/2).
Arrested in the case earlier this month for indecent exposure and obstruction of business were Kunikazu Ishii, 52, the director, Nahoko Shimada, 21, an actress and dental nurse, and actors Yuya Ochiai, 29, and Makoto Nishizumi.
Saitama Prefectural Police say the four spent about 30 minutes one afternoon in January this year filming an adult movie in the McDonald's Higashi Matsuyama Itoyokado outlet in Higashi Matsuyama, Saitama Prefecture. They were allegedly caught after another customer called the police and told cops what was supposedly going on.
"(Shimada) came into the restaurant holding hands with Ochiai. But Ochiai didn't look the type good enough to pick up a woman like her, so I thought something fishy was going on," a customer in the store at the time of the incident tells Friday. "It was even more suspicious because there was one young woman surrounded by all those much older guys."
The group apparently took up a corner counter not easily visible to serving staff and went about their purportedly pornographic proclivities.
Ochiai apparently spent the time with his hands up Shimada's skirt as he displayed his deft handiwork, Ishii did the filming and Nishizumi acted as a barrier and barked out orders to participants -- so the cops say, anyway.
When police did arrive on the scene, the group had allegedly been filming inside the restaurant for about half an hour. Each of the four suspects was led away individually and taken to a nearby cop station in a different patrol car.
Adult movie experts say the arrests are a sign of the times.
"Filming that way is basically like screaming out to the cops: 'Hey, come and arrest me,'" an industry insider tells Friday.
An adult movie production company associate adds his two bits.
"They probably did something that stupid because they wanted to cut production costs," the associate says.
"Putting the actress's wages aside, 10 years ago most cheap adult movies had a budget of about 1 million yen, but now that figure is more likely to be 500,000 yen or, in really bad cases, only around 300,000 yen. If you've only got 300,000 yen to work with, there'll be no room to book a studio or hotel room once you've rented the filming equipment and paid the guys' wages. So that's probably why they filmed in the fast food restaurant."
Most adult movie actresses are usually the highest paid workers on each flick. Though that was likely to have been the case with this movie, too, starlet Shimada was hardly likely to have been raking in big bucks (at least in cash terms).
"Women acting in these cheap adult flicks usually get paid around 70,000 yen per movie, but some may only get as little as 20,000 yen. Nearly all the women who act in these kinds of movies have a real job and do it as a sideline. There are nurses, stage actresses and members of the Self-Defense Forces," the associate tells Friday.
"Shimada's main job was a dental nurse. She only started appearing in a few adult movies from December last year, so she's basically a complete amateur. Now she's been arrested, her chosen part-time profession has ended up costing her quite a lot." (By Ryann Connell)

Fantastic Fenwhick,s Flying Food Factory
Ever hear of the Glass Ceiling? Of course you have. It’s that imaginary level that minorities, particularly black folk and women, rarely are “allowed” to rise above. Some of you work at a place like this. A lot of my friends still do.
The place I used to work for was all in all a great company but we all knew that if you didn’t have a penis it was tough to be taken seriously. The place was founded by a bunch of Engineers in the 60’s and that means that there was a serious “Good Ol Boys Club” there. In the near decade I worked there you could see all of the many social business spectrums that one could imagine.

In the near decade I worked there you could see all of the many social business spectrums that one could imagine.
Every stereotype was there.
We had the Type A Chauvinist. You know him, he’s the guy that says really inappropriate things to women and minorities alike but no-really takes him seriously because he’s always done it and “he get’s the job done.”
We had the Sexual Predator. He’s the guy that always has a secretary that wear’s clothing that doesn’t quite fit right and there are always rumors of that girl he harassed that no long works there.
The Ball Busting Bitch was there too. Equipped with that “I could be a lesbian” haircut she’s the one that had to be as tough as guys to show she fit in. She’s usually a really nice person and is extremely capable but most won’t know it until she’s been walked on by the GOBC.
The Token. He’s the minority that believes that if he works hard enough he may one day break through the GC and retire someday on that golden parachute you hear so much about. But don't kid yourself about ever being able to get there.
There’s the Golden Child. He’s not part of the original GOBC but he’s the heir apparent. He stands as the shining example of what you could do if you just “apply” yourself and be a “team player”. You can often hear someone say, “well look at ____ he started out in receiving but now he’s managing ______.”
My personal favorite is the Head Turner. She’s qualified but also knows that no matter her qualifications there always seem to be less rungs on the ladder if she wear’s tight/revealing clothing. The women all talk about her behind her back and the men all love her. Sadly she’s forgotten all about…
The Head Assistant. Next to any member of the GOBC she’s the most important person at the company. Cross her and your career is over faster than a Backstreet Boy’s Reunion Tour (mark my words). She’s been with the GOBC from the beginning. She knows all their dirt and they trust her. She has hit the ceiling and found a way through it without actually doing anything different than her daily tasks. She most likely had a hand in picking the Golden Child.
So what if you’re not one of these folks? What if you’re just one of the mensch that grind it out each and every day? Or worse – what if you don’t have a penis?
You could be content to go about your daily tasks helping out the company when ever you could. You may even get an “atta-boy” (cause that’s not sexist at all) every once in a while. But heaven forbid you should have a brain. Or even an opinion. The sad part is that it’s not the GOBC that the female mensch have to worry about. It’s the other fem’s at the middle management level that cause them most of the grief. I like to call them the R. O. U. S.’
Most will tell you that “they don’t exist” but they are there. You find them at the head of the Accounting Department, or running Procurement. Sometimes they work in lead positions for IT. They are catty, jealous and way too nosy about what the rest of the company is doing. They are the source of most of the gossip. And the bane of their compatriots that are fighting the same battle they are. Trying to break through the GC.
If there is a positive side to the GOBC it is that they believe they have a responsibility to mentor the next generation. But not the R. O. U. S. For them it’s the idea that if they can’t make it why should you? Worse, than that they sometimes disguise their actions as an attempt to make others tougher or more seasoned.
Forget the GC and the GOBC. The real demon is the ROUS. Not because they really do exist, but because they betray the very people that helped them get where they are. It’s the same everywhere. It doesn’t matter if you work at Fantastic Fenwhicks Flying Food Factory, or an Aerospace Company, or if you’re running for President of the United States. Being a bitch doesn’t mean you’re making us stronger. It just means you’re a Bitch!

Man Down!!!
The home comp is down right now so there won't be many postings between now and whenever the fuck we get it fixed or replaced.
Until then here are some of the headlines I'm going to miss out on posting to you:
- Adama returns - Cylons and Viper Jocks Still Hot
- Mariners remain competitive in tight AL West - Rich Sexson still can't hit his weight .
- Obama Loses Pennsylvania But Maintains Delegate Lead
- Obama Wins North Carolina America calls for Clinton to Drop Out
- President Bush Says Something Stupid (ok this isn't really news)
There will be more interesting things that will happen that I hope to make it back in time to talk about but until then I leave you with a moving world interpretation of Yes We Can!!!
To borrow a phrase - that will do it for today's musings on what is now the 1,801 day since the declaration of "Mission Accomplished". Good Night and Good Luck!!!
