Japanese "Vagina Artist" Arrested Over 3D Model Sorry if that title makes no sense, but it's the best way to describe this story I heard on The Daily Show about Megumi Igarashi. If you haven't heard of her yet, Igarashi is a Japanese artist who was recently arrested over distributing 3D scans made of her vagina so people could use them to make plastic kayak molds. (Yes, that last sentence is equal parts awesome and absurdity, but it's actually what happened.) As many PU'ers know, the genitals, or at least the vagina, can be a taboo subject in Japan, specifically when displayed, even in porn. So for emailing plans to sponsors of her crowdsourcing project she was arrested for distributing what could be considered obscenity. The controversy is that this is seen as hypocritical when there are penis-worshipping festivals in Japan (which I guess would only be suitable for making a mold for a personal submarine). Here's a short YouTube video of her being interviewed making some of her other vagina-related art (non-explicit, but it explains why she's doing this), like a "Hole-In-One" model of a putting green. And if you're interested, here's the original page for the crowdfunding campaign, which is somehow more insane than I even imagined. Obviously, a few things got mangled in translation, and about half the illustrations look like storyboards of dreams I've had. But the text is generally clear, if unintentionally entertaining. Some of the highlights: "The World’s First 3D Scanned Peach on the Beach," "mold by hand is not suitable for making large art pieces such as a pussy door, a pussy car, or a pussy boat" (well, duh), and "I would love to give you my data of pussy."  If it's not clear, I don't exactly find this offensive, and certainly not worthy of arrest. She only spent five or six days in jail before being released, but it's still stupid and puerile that she was ever arrested in the first place. I hope she's cleared of all charges and the Japanese government realizes how silly this looks to most of the modern world. Though at least for once it's not the U.S. being the prudish country.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D. Rippper, Dr. Stranglove | |

Japanese porn never made sense to me, when it is censored. Why buy censored porn? It's like buying a banana peel without the actual banana. Lines crossing over the important parts does nothing for me. Warning Will Robinson | |

Agreed and many sites pass it along as real porn. Mostly porn mills. Since 2007 | |
