Newsarticle on Yaoi...

[ximeria]

I came across an article today in one of our numerous free newspapers. They're everywhere, really.

Why did this catch my eye? Well, the headline was 'Japanese women are turned on by gay porn'

I kid you not! I wrote the GUY who wrote the article, asking if he'd mind terribly if I translated his article into English to share it with everyone here. And to tell him I was impressed to see an article like that in a Danish newspaper (for the few Danes here, it was Nyhedsavisen from today june 18th). It was an okay article, really. About how Yaoi is becoming more and more popular in the west as well.

Okay, so it wasn't really the headline that caught my eye first, but the image accompanying it XD




Are you calling me shallow? Wouldnt' that be the pot calling the kettle black?

I work as a bookseller, and the fall lists are all arriving in the stores, and there is so much yaoi available!

None of which I can convince the buyer to get, mind you >:( and I'm a little too embarrassed to order it in because everyone would know I was reading it, but some of it sounds amazing.

Heh, well, I've never had that problem ordering stuff via work. They know I'm an oddball anyway *g* -- I just love working at a bookstore *g*
