Talking When Parent's Wish to name their Child "Cancer"

Japan gets set for the Buttocks generation
By Colin Joyce in Tokyo
(Filed: 27/07/2004)


Japanese parents have been given government permission to name their children "Buttocks" or "Prostitute" if they wish after a bizarre row over expanding the list of officially acceptable names.



Japan's system of writing, which has evolved from ancient Chinese script, was simplified after the Second World War when the government abolished thousands of characters.

In recent years, however, the authorities in Tokyo have been under pressure to reinstate obscure and archaic characters so that more interesting and original names can be created.

Traditional ones such as Hanako, a girl's name meaning "Flower Child", and Manabu, a boy's name meaning "Studious", have fallen out of favour.

As a result, the justice ministry proposed an additional 578 characters for names, but *******d dozens that most parents might view as poor taste, such as "Piles", "Vagina" and "Slur".

A language review panel working for the ministry had initially decided that it was not its place to make moral judgments on characters - instead leaving it up to parents to exercise their own common sense.

But this week, the ministry said public pressure had forced it to withdraw nine of the most controversial characters, including "Rape", "Excrement" and "Cancer".

I wish Mr. and Mrs. Bryant had named their son Rape.

Might have avoided certain things.

In Taiwan all the little kids get english names, some are really bizarre. My brother got to name some of them, the parents don't seem to care that much what the names are. One kid's name is Maurice. I can't think of any other funny ones right now.

no shit. they require genitals to be blurred out in porn, but then they'll make you eat shit out of a blurred out asshole, injest it, puke it up, only to injest it again.

They don't make them do that, they just film all their porn with the girl acting like she's being forced to do everything.
