Adult Game Company and Manga Magazine Find New Ways to Embarrass Fans

27 12 2008

Is this a terrorist attack on geeks with hobbies that they can’t disclose?
An adult game manufacturing company made an egregious mistake, inflicting pain to uncertain number of users.
Apparently, a game company called “AKABEiSOFT2″ sent a “special” goods for their loyal customers enlisted in the fun club….  Without realizing that they have printed the name of the good large and clear on the box!  The company apologized publicly for the users who may have been inconvenienced…  Yeah, apology really do mean something…..  If the fan club member was living by himself, it is all right, but imagine the shock and embarrassment if they were living with their family or in a dorm when their co-habitants found a box with “Lots of Boobs Set” printed on it.

Likewise, Weekly Magazine called “Shonen Magazine” did the same with the mail-order product “Negima!: Magister Negi Magi”.  Asuna Nice & Warm, Sleep Together Bed Sheet!”  Imagine the embarrassment of pubescent boys, who started to notice the opposite sex, that ordered the product, only to find their mom seeing the box first!
(For those that don’t know, Negima! is a popular manga featuring lots of cute girls in compromising situations.  I have the shirt as well….)

Oh, and this is what the product look like:

Would you risk embarrassment for this?

Would you risk embarrassment for this?

And you can’t come up with a good excuse if it is printed loud and clear on the box:

Hey, thanks for the post.
Not sure, what you mean, but it is not that “tentacle porn” is commonplace in Japan! I’m quite sure it exists here, but I’ve only seen such a thing abroad! Japanese people are open to anime/manga, but not pervy ones. lol I wouldn’t be caught dead with “sleep along” bed sheets, as geeky as I am.
