Japanese Girls Expose Thighs, Sells Stuff to Drooling Guys

We’ve seen this Thigh-vertising thing before. But it was more of a one-off (and likely fake) so we thank B.L. Ochman for bringing this latest iteration of Thigh-vertising to our attention.

Japanese PR firm Wit Inc. launched a program allowing brands to place ads on the thighs of Japanese women for $121 per day. Over 3,000 women signed up and agreed to allow horny men to stare at their legs as they go about their day. The program, which rolled out earlier this year, has included promotions for the movie Ted and the band Green Day.

Women wishing to be lasciviously stared at all day long must be over 18, have at least 20 friends on social media, take pictures of themselves wearing the ads and are told to wear miniskirts and long socks so as to focus the drooling eyeballs in the thigh region.

Confirming the fact all everyone thinks about all day long is sex, Wit Inc. CEO Hidenori Atsumi said,”It’s an absolutely perfect place to put an advertisement, as this is what guys are eager to look at and girls are eager to expose.”

Behavioral scientists found that the improvement strategy with the highest long-term success rate isn’t goal-setting or habit-stacking or accountability — it’s environmental design, the practice of making the default option the one you want to choose, which removes willpower from the equation entirely

Psychology says the reason generational arguments feel so personal is that they aren’t really about economics or housing or work ethic. They’re about whether your suffering counted, and no one stays calm when someone implies the answer is no.

Children who grew up in homes where chaos was normal often become adults who are capable of handling anything in a crisis but genuinely can’t maintain basic routines when life is calm because their entire system was calibrated for emergency response

I’m 73 and I slept badly for a decade before I understood that the problem wasn’t my sleep — it was everything I was bringing to the bed with me, the unresolved conversations, the accumulated worries I’d been too busy to feel during the day, the low-grade anxiety about everything and nothing that only found its full voice in the dark, and the sleep got better when I stopped treating it as a separate problem and started treating it as information
