"BJ Slut" Campaign in Japan

Yeah, it got my attention too, when this popped in my Google Alerts this morning.  However, knowing there had to be some sort of reasonable explanation, I clicked on the link.

  • BJ: In Japanese BJ means Bon Jovi -- nothing more
  • Slut: In Japanese pronunciation and katakana writing “slut” and “slot” are the same—slot slut Japanese Google Translate.
  • Pachislot (pachisuro): Is a Japanese mega-mix mangling of pachinko pinball and slot machines. 
See? Just a little language misunderstanding.

I know, the pinball machine debut is old news (March 2009).  Still, I think this is funny as hell, though.  PS, where can I get one of these T-shirts?

    I'd love to have one of the t-shirts if the body went with it. I'd totally like to have a body like any of those girls. LOL
