There’s spreading Japanese culture and then there’s whatever this is.
Despite a majority of the population not wanting them to happen, it seems that Japan is going to go forward with the 2021 Summer Olympics despite all the warnings from the medical community and calls from the public to delay it another year. I’m not here to argue one way or the other, that’s not my job. My job is to make you laugh whenever Japan does something silly. And boy howdy does this qualify.
Recently, an unnamed Japanese television program revealed that the Tokyo Olympics will provide athletes with condoms. This in itself isn’t unusual and should really be applauded by everyone, as these are mostly adults from around the world who might meet someone special and want to shack up for a night.
Here’s the thing; there are going to be ample opportunities throughout the Olympics to spread Japanese culture and raise awareness of all the wonderful things that the country has to offer beyond their soft pop culture. There are also wonderful forms of art such as woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e, with designs dating back many centuries. Which I guess is why the Tokyo Olympic Committee has decided to include the designs on the condoms that they will distribute?
Yeah, it makes little sense to me either but here are the photos to prove it, via Twitter user @mariku3109.
You’re seeing things correctly. The Tokyo Olympics want to decorate the penises of the male athletes with woodblock print designs. Now, I don’t know about you but in my mind, nothing really sets the mood more than sheathing my penis in centuries-old artwork from a foreign country. I imagine it’s a turn-on for many women reading this, too. As you can imagine, Japanese Twitter was having none of this and let their feelings be known with the original tweet being liked over 22,000 times.
As stated, there is absolutely nothing wrong with providing the athletes and staff with protection while they’re staying in Japan. Not only is it healthy, but it’s responsible. I just have to believe that there are better ways and opportunities to spread cultural awareness than this.
