Here you compare Japanese porn publication and promotion - the magazine cover - with a games magazine. And the advertisement is for the new issue of Rachael Ray Magazine! Does the Rachael Ray Magazine complement more the manga porn or the gamesters .. Hmm! (The Rachael Ray ad looks more - color and presentation - like a Betty Crocker cookbook that scantily clad cartoon girls.) What a cool way to provide something for those uncomfortable with Japanese magazine covers! Ah, really, I just thought this ad was interesting to find on this article. Good point on how prevalent this illustration style is. You can find (a few) examples here in Ponca City, OK, USA on almost any magazine rack. This is so cool!

I've been living in Australia for the past year, and you just can't help pointing out the differences and talking about them (especially with people who come from the same place you do), but you have to be extremely careful. People tend to think you don't like their country, or that you're judging it if you make any comments. Yeah, Lara Croft was dodgy enough in her hay day!! ;)
