The average kid goes through between 2500 and 3000 diapers before they are potty trained, I had 5 kids. I remember when our last one was born, those of you who come to the MOM know him, well when Patt was a baby my ex and I would enlist the older 2 to help with those diapers once in a while. One day Patt had a boomer and I said to my oldest son Matt, please change your brothers diaper, Matt being the good son went over then said, its a dirty one, how come its mine to change? I told him it had his name on it, he said where? I told him to feel around on the inside on the back he would find it.

Speaking of kids, I forgot to tell everybody, my oldest grandson is now a papa, so I have my first great grandchild.

Damn, you are getting old!

Congratulations, old man!

Then there's those gag-a-maggot diapers... But to leave that subject in the porcelain with air spray...

My nephew's girl was so premature that she required a colostomy. I'd rather have the gag-a-maggot diaper than those bags to change.

congratulations on the great-grand child

As an avid anime fan, let me just say the following:

If it's perverted and it could possibly exist, it's sold in Japan. They have vending machines selling used school-girl panties for crying out loud.

Also, their culture as far as what is considered attractive, especially for men, is a lot different. Here, there is no overlap whatsoever between sexiness and childishness. Here, in order to be considered conventionally attractive as a man, you have to be the opposite of childish... strong, mature, buff, masculine. But in Japan there is actually a completely different archetype of male attractiveness where a man can be boyish, immature, and "pretty," and it is actually viewed as sexy and romanticized. To the people who are into that sort of thing, for some reason the thing that is attractive about these men is how feminine they are, and how young-acting they are. They're attracted by them being immature, and throwing tantrums, and being cute. It's a common archetype in anime series and film, particularly in shoujo media.

I'm not saying that this defends the product or its implications in any way, shape, or form. I'm just saying that in Japan, there is an overlap between childishness and sexiness that simply does not exist in the west. There are so many lolicon characters in anime and manga specifically for this purpose that the government actually had to come in and take action to help stop it. It's actually quite a large market.

(Side note: despite the fact that Japan has so much virtual kiddie porn, it actually has some of the lowest rate of sexual crimes in the developed world. And its rates actually dropped by 85% between the early 1970's, when Japan was still a bit more conservative, and the mid-1990's when all hell broke loose in the pornography market there. So despite products like this existing, and there actually being a market for it, those same people that might buy it are also more likely to keep it in their own little fantasy worlds rather than actually carry out the heinous act implied by it in real life. So don't get too worked up.)

(And yes, I do encourage everyone to look up these studies for themselves. As soon as animated kiddie porn started appearing all over Japan, their rates of real-life child sexual abuse plummeted. So in this regard, America is actually the country that has this completely backwards. The easier it is to see something, the less people want it in real life. It's that forbidden fruit aspect, that knowledge that you CAN'T see something, that turns people's often-confused sexual whims into heinous acts that destroy the lives of others.)
