Is the Ladies' Man Japanese?

This is one of the most bizarre video games i've ever seen, and so of course it must be Japanese. The object of the game appears simple, you have to jam a big plastic finger up someone's rear end. Why? I have no idea. Built into the cabinet is a bent over backside, and on the screen in front of you appears the expression of the person as you shove the finger inside. The harder you shove the finger inside, the more points you score...

[Franklinnoble]

Yeah, that'll be work-safe.

Hmmm... new potential equivalent to "Kirby Puckett" around here:

Nice ring to that. Inside jokes rule.

There are no pictures, other than a sideview shot of a guy playing the game (an arcade game). Unless you are worried about the use of "anal" terms (which you clearly are not), I don't think there's anything to worry about. But I could be wrong.

What are the chances that Game-Nikki will be recieving a copy of this in the near future?

[SackAttack]

I'm not sure what disturbs me more...the use of the dash in Gamenikki, or the idea that you think Gamenikki's staffers are a bunch of butt-poking perverts who can't wait to get their hands on this.

I wonder how many people play this game without using the plastic hand...

*steps up to the mike and proceeds to give an informational lecture on Japanese culture*

The process of sticking a finger up another persons butt, or kan-shyo, is a game that most young boys play until they reach high school. It`s remeniscent of the "titty twister" in American culture but with decidedly homosexual undertones. For those who have lived in Japan, this game is not surprising. Young boys in Japan are fairly effeminate--sitting on each others laps all the way through junior high, holding hands with other boys, etc.

The difficult part for the foreigner traveling in Japan is that the kan-shyo is extremely similiar in sound to kan-chyo, which means "bill". After a nice, relaxing meal at a favorite ramen restaurant, make sure you ask politely for a finger up the ass.

Did you guys check the pics linked at the bottom of the page?

[rkmsuf]

Leon Phelps: I am Leon Phelps, and how y'all doing tonight? I am ready for the show, I've got some Courvoisier cognac, and my scented candles, and I'm ready to take your calls, so, uh, just dial the number that you see flashing below there, and you can talk to me, Leon Phelps, The Ladies Man. Alright. Go ahead, caller.

Caller #1: Hi. Is this The Ladies Man?

Leon Phelps: It's a lady!

Caller #1: Yeah, uh, I got really drunk, and I had unprotected sex with this guy I met at a bar last night.

Leon Phelps: Well, that sounds alright.

Caller #1: No. I'm really scared. I mean, what if I get a disease?

Leon Phelps: Well, it's cool, because, uh, you know, I have been with many fine ladies, and, uh, many of them were very skanky, and, consequently, The Ladies Man has had a few diseases. But I have rebounded every time. That's why they call me The Ladies Man. So, Caller, never look back, and practice safe intercourse, okay? Alright, next caller?

Caller #2: Uh, hello, Ladies Man? Yeah, uh, I've been with my girlfriend for a few years now, and we like to have sex and all, but..

Leon Phelps: Hey, that sounds good to me!

Caller #2: It gets kind of boring, so is there any way we can, uh, spice up our love life?

Leon Phelps: Well, yes. There are a number of possibilities that you can pursue. Uh.. may I suggest you consider the butt?

Caller #2: [ quickly hangs up the phone, eager to take suggestion ]

Leon Phelps: Hello? Alright, then, I'm going to take a sip off this Courvoisier, 'cause it's getting chilly in here. [ sips Courvoisier ] Alright, then, next caller, go ahead. This is The Ladies Man.

Caller #3: Hello, Ladies Man.

Leon Phelps: Hey, it's a lady! How you feeling tonight, lady?

Caller #3: Well, not so good. I'm having some problems with my self-esteem.

Leon Phelps: Your self-esteem. Yeah. Now, what is that?

Caller #3: Well.. I don't feel good about myself.

Leon Phelps: Oh no, now, that's not good. Uh, why do you feel that way?

Caller #3: Well, I have a bit of a weight problem, and it's hard, you know, to meet guys.

Leon Phelps: Yeah, yeah, well, The Ladies Man is here to help you. Um.. so tell me, uh, how fat are you?

Caller #3: I'm like, 210.

Leon Phelps: Now, that is big. Um, I was not expecting you to say anything over 200 pounds. Uh, I was basically expecting, like, 130, 135.. yeah, you are a big woman. Um, my advice to you is to, uh, avoid any type of food product that your neighborhood supermarket might try to sell you. [tips glass] But here's to you, Fat Lady. The Ladies Man loves you, but not in any type of sexual, or love-type way. [laughing] I see my stage manager Martell finds the plight of that last call amusing.

Martell: Hey, yo, Leon, whatchoo doing after the show tonight, man? You going to the club?

Leon Phelps: No, no, no, no. I've got some plans, man.

Martell: So, whatchoo gonna be doing then, bro?

Leon Phelps: Well, um, I don't want to get into the particulars, um.. but I know that a bottle of Courvoisier and a lady will definitely be involved, you know what I mean?

Martell: Right on, then!

Leon Phelps: Yeah. Okay, next caller, go ahead. You got The Ladies Man.

Caller #4: Yeah, hi, Ladies Man. Sometimes when I'm in the shower at the gym, with a bunch of guys, I get aroused. Is that normal?

Leon Phelps: Yes, basically, that is a normal response. It's natural to have those kind of feelings, but, uh, what I want to know is, uh, how a fine lady like yourself could have such a deep voice?

Caller #4: I'm a man.

Leon Phelps: Well, the first thing I would tell you is to keep that secret to yourself, you know? Um, that is something that you are going to have to live with for the rest of your life, and you can never tell. Thank you, Caller. Uh, listen, at this point, I feel that I should say to my viewers that, uh, The Ladies Man does not want any more calls like that. Okay? Because those calls, they disturb The Ladies Man, okay? Thanks very much. Well, I can tell by the empty bottle of Courvoisier that it is time to say goodnight. So, uh, look out, ladies, 'cause here comes Leon Phelps, The Ladies Man!

I wonder how many people play this game without using the plastic hand...

or even play without any hands at all...

Oddly enlightening post.

[CamEdwards]

I don't know about you fellas, but I've been asking for a finger up the ass at Japanese restaurants for years now.
