Couldn't find a suitable AWS thread to put this in, so I had to start a new one. This is most bizarre, and very camp.

This is the ad used for the original Famicom Wars:
mms://211.1.160.10/1101/nintendo/fami_wars.wmv

You can see it's pretty similar and they're obviously hoping to get some of the old famicom gamers with the new commercial.

Public Bath House. Not everybody has a bath/shower at home.

Sorry, I meant the area that GI's are scrubbing. Its a floor with a low set of faucets. What part of bathing is **that** for?

If you're confortable being around other naked people. some of the public bath houses in Japan can be pretty nice.

Privacy isn't really as big of a value in the East (nor was it for Native Americans) as it is for European nations (and/or european influenced cultures): the western world.

Of course, Rome had the whole public baths thing going, too, so I guess privacy has only become a big thing in the last ~1500 years or so.
