Japan Resorts To Teenage Girls In Short Skirts To Get Their Stocks Up

While the full court press propaganda express in Japan's media that 'Abenomics' is working may be flagging a little in the face of the recent 20% collapse in equity prices, there appears no limit to how low they will stoop. It is not the first time you girls have been used to promote the benefits of buying Japanese bonds (as we discussed here), but, as The Telegraph reports, a four-member band of 16-year-old Japanese girls will be raising (and lowering we suppose) the length of their skirts based on the Nikkei 255. The band - Machikado Keiki Japan, which roughly translates as "street corner economic conditions", debut single - Abeno Mix (seriously!) - has karaoke references to quantitative easing and construction bonds.

 

 

 

Via The Telegraph...

To get an idea of how Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is faring in his quest to lift his country out of two decades of stagnation, look no further than the skirts of the girl group Machikado Keiki Japan.

 

The band, whose name translates roughly as "street corner economic conditions", became a bellwether for the health of the world's third biggest economy earlier this year when they promised to shorten their skirts every time the country's stock market made significant gains.

 

The four-member group's novel economic indicator has raised a few eyebrows – not least because one of the members is a 16-year-old schoolgirl – but there is no faulting their interest in the fortunes of the Nikkei 225 stock index.

 

 

Their debut single, Abeno Mix – complete with unlikely singalong references to quantitative easing and construction bonds – takes its cue from Abenomics, an ambitious programme of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing and structural reforms that its chief architect believes will lift Japan out of 20 years of deflationary purgatory.

It's over.

 

But not until I get to lick everyone of them from top to bottom.  And shave that prickly black shit off beforehand.

Stupid ass schoolgirls have no idea what's going on.  The lyrics should be 'give me money,give me dick, I don't even understand fucking arithmetic.'

If that's the case, bitches should be wearing burqas by now.

If anybody was deluded enough to think that Dentsu doesn't run Abe's propaganda program, this fuckery should put that notion to rest.

Well, this is a new one for me, a Japanese Irish poem:

 

Keeping Up Appearances

A Japanese hubby said, "Honne,"

"Pretty pleeease, can I blow some more monne???

"Cause I got a yen,

To be young again. . ."

"What you say . . . TATEMAE??? Don't be funne!!!"

Those girls look like they are in their 30"s.  How is that going to get the Nikkei up?

And they are wearing short shorts to begin with.

 

But other than that great post, better talent for sure.
