The article goes on to prove two facts we already know: that the music industry is greedy (already asking for a bigger slice of this pie!) and that the porn industry is a prime innovator in marketing and technology :-)"

    I know cool by a complete lack of Japanese influence.

    Japanese pop culture is decidedly uncool if you do not wish to support a racist, corporatist modern-day feudal state. In Japan today, instead of being owned by the daimyo, you are now owned by your employer. The children are pacified with toys and hello kitty type shit. Fuck that.
