quote of the day

Her shock announcement drew attention to the question, 'Who are idols and what is marriage?' I think she let some fresh air into modern society with its stifling atmosphere.

Idol commentator Akio Nakamori, referring to the surprise announcement by AKB48 singer Ririka Suto at the annual "general election" of the group's most popular members on June 17. Suto's announcement that she had fallen in love and was going to get married caused a stir online with many fans criticizing her, since AKB48's management bans its members from dating.

Or....

Maybe people should stop being such weirdos about "idols" and realize that maybe society is the odd one here with their extreme sexualizing over them and the invention of retarded rules that only make the old grandpas who fantasize over them happy?

Its ok for a person to want to love someone and do something else with their life.

What an odd question.
