The day the red lights went out in Japan
Today (April 1st) is the 50th anniversary of the ban on hooking in Japan. The Mainichi runs through a brief history... The day the red lights went out in Japan Mainichi Exactly 50 years ago today (April 1), Japan's formal ban on the centuries old act of prostitution came into effect. The Prostitution Prevention Law outlawed the world's oldest profession even though it had long been one of Japan's most lucrative. But the law was filled with loopholes and even today the sex business remains one of Japan's biggest industries. The fight to end prostitution began in earnest following Japan's defeat in World War II, with newly liberated women Diet members in the vanguard of the fight. After several attempts at legislating against the practice during the Occupation from 1945 to 1952 and again after Japan regained its independence in 1952, what became the Prostitution Prevention Law finally passed through the National Diet in 1956. The ladies in that photo apparently specialized in foreign customers. Of course Greji wouldn't know anything about that.

I find your insinuations a bit testy there Capt'n, but in all honesty, it didn't take a lot to get around breaking the law after it came into effect. Even now. Just committed another violation of that law the night before last. I guess I'm just a hopeless career criminal. Remember that!

The greatest April Fool's joke of all time perhaps?

Pretty much. "Prostitution's illegal" "Oh, but only 'vaginal intercourse with penetration', otherwise go to town!"
