CNN, HENTAI and eating Korean dogs...

Kotaku asks why CNN is talking about Rapelay after 4 years of the game release... Reading  the Korean journalist's posts on CNN blog (the  very same person who interviewed DannyChoo) I wonder if she likes Japan at all as it's hard to find positive pieces about the Country (but she loves Korean cars)...

Probably her religion background "Much of my family life revolved around the church, and that is where I had my first experiences with the community. On Saturdays I was at church for Korean study school and at service on Sundays" is not helping in covering sexual related news with objectivity (OK, this "news" is a year old one, but you know old media are slow...) but maybe I'm wrong as few years ago she got fired for cheating her husband in his own office...

Watching the NSFW video on CCN (I fear filmed illegally in the shops) the journalist never states that hentai videogames are for "adults only". It would be like talking about American Pornos and let viewer assume that porno DVDs got the same market of average Hollywood movies...

The journalist says: "Now, once a game goes on sale in Tokyo, it is digitized and shared everywhere". "Digitized"?!  Wow that must be a new secret technic used by pirates to copy games...

Now I'm going to eat. Should I go for sashimi or Korean dogs?!

Update:
Dr. Olson Brings Some Reasoning to RapeLay Hysteria [GamePolitics] via Kotaku  and no I didn't eat Korean hot dogs but I went for fugu as I'm on a diet and whale sashimi is too fat...
