Ashley Madison, the world’s biggest online hookup site for married people, works only when monogamy is the rule on the surface but, deep inside, couples want to cheat. That’s why it is scoring big in Japan.
The nation that prides itself on conformity and proper appearances reached a million users in eight and a half months, the fastest pace among any of the 37 countries where the adultery site operates.

The honor system! Can’t believe you would question their morality. lol
Oh, the morality is impeccable!
And many, many fake female ads to lure the guys in. That is where the money is.

“From those wonderful folks who brought you Pearl Harbor”
Maybe the long term effects of the atomic bombings were more pervasive & lasting than we thought.
Haiku, bonsai trees, rock gardens, kamedana shrines, calligraphy, kabuki, bronze Buddhas - what happened to classical Japan?
At least look at the bright side. They did gave us GODZILLA.
