11:08am: Save Our Idols!
Save Our Idols!

Mousey on Wank Report led me here for some lulz. It’s an old forum thread that keeps getting temporarily resurrected every couple weeks or so.

In a forum thread at D-addicts, ryobreak asks:
Is it true that Johnny Kitamura (the owner of Johnnies) has a tendency to assault, abuse, or attempts erotic relationships with Johnnies members?

To sum up JE for those not into Japanese pop entertainment: Johnny's Entertainment makes boy bands like there's no tomorrow and members go on to rule pop culture in concerts, tv, radio, etc. From my understanding, as a non JE fan, it's hard to throw a rock without hitting one of these guys. (caito says: Yeah, you really can’t. They’re everywhere.) Furthermore, apparently auditions consist of parents submitting pictures to the agency.(caito says: That’s actually pretty standard for getting any job in Japan. I just teach high school here, and I had to submit a picture with my application. It’s just a done thing, apparently.)

A few confirm that they've heard this rumor as well and there seems to be pretty sound "evidence" in the tell all book of a former member.

The OP wants to know what can be done about this great injustice:
Is there something we can do to increase awareness? What pains me even more is that only one person from JE has spoken out and taken a stand. It pains me to think that other JE members could be enduring the same and unable to seek help.

Oh...those poor poor idols.

( Quick, someone call the U.S. Military! They never fuck shit up, right? )

But it’s sad to see that not all JE wank turns out this cute.

11:23am: I'm a Rennie, You're not a Rennie, Wouldn't you like to be a Rennie too?
In the LJ community Renfaire Worker there is an off and on debate about who qualifies as what in the Ren Faire World. Most of these have been rather tame and short.

Enter jcterminal who has come to preach the gospel to the unwashed masses (probably because the faire didn't spring for showers for their employees) as to who can be bestowed upon the title of True Rennie and who are the wanna-bees.

Oh, but the unwashed have a problem with his words. In fact they have a lot of problems with the gospel according to Jcterminal. But of course those people are evil and should be infected with AIDs or some other horrible thing.
