AKB48 Lesbian Commercial

Another example of mainstream industry using gratuitous sex -- popular Japanese pop singers and gravure idols AKB48 engaging in faux lesbian kisses to push a candy product. We don't need gratuitous love or sex scenes in movies, and we certainly don't need them in commercials, unless you are selling condoms or vibrators. I can't stand the hypocrisy of those who are fine with the suggestive kawaii sexuality of their pop idols but then make a big fuss when they become AV actresses (porn stars) like former AKB48 member Rina Nakanishi ( 中西里菜 ). Now if only Tomomi Itano ( 板野友美 ) would follow in her footsteps ;-) She's making money off her sexuality already to sell just about every other product in Japan.
