There are some women's comments like.... In Canada, a guy asked me to hang around, but I rejected. Then the guy shouted "Hey, all the Japanese girl is bitch, isn't it?" I have many friends who loves to travel abroad. And I heard this kind of stories so many times before this waiwai thing broke out, which means that some people consider these "100% falses" as "50% jokes". The source of this waiwai are Japanese tabloid, like "Jitsuwa Nuckles" or "Shukan Post". Please know that these magazines are so fake. And people enjoy this kind of story as fake.

The wacky stories of perversion and vice undoubtedly attracted a lot of traffic to Mainichi’s website, exposing the stories to readers who were unaware the articles were based on unreliable tabloids. Predictably, this caused stupid and false information about Japan to spread around the world.

Like the scat houses, and similar things. Also didn't the author of the article state that the club was highly secretive, and invitation only? Anyways people believe whatever they read anyways. If it's online it must be true. I think part of the reason the article was taken and people ran with it is because of the craziness, and high sexual activity that Japan does have.

I really do not mind what he does as his own expertise(and I know all this stuff is originally written by Japanese writer at Jitsuwa Knuckles),but consideiring Mainichi is the third largest national daily and seen as the quite respected one(They do conduct investigative journalism on daily basis) filling the web page full of zoophilia only to have some trackbacks is sorta blasphmey to their own established journalistic reputation.

They can't get away with just inventing fiction like <em>Knuckles</em>. I think people tend to underestimate how legitimate the National Enquirer stories are.
