but like last year, that will probably be toned down for the world tour. Japanese fans are used to that and those shirts wouldn't be considered odd in a big portion of the world. the US is still geared towards conservatism in some areas when it comes to sexuality, as you've unfortunately seen firsthand. >.<

there used to be pics on the website engrish.com of babies and small children in Japan wearing tees that would be banned in the US just because they said "f*ck" on them.

I bought those cups! Only kept the pink one, though.

Yes, they said the merchandise was lost in the trip.

The conservatism makes me remember that one time when my grandpa went to a church meeting wearing a T-shirt borrowed from my uncle. He arrived wearing a jacket, and at some point he took off the jacket and people just wouldn't stop staring... because it had Beavis and Butthead in thongs printed all over the front. He took a sharpie pen and drew larger underwear on them to make them more decent... to no avail X-D

OMFV! I love engrish.com !!
