I love watching it because it reminds me of a week I spent in Taipei. The young ladies are great to look at too, especially the one in pink with the white boots on that look like elongated sneakers. There's a lot of info packed into 2 minutes and 40 seconds and I watch it everyday. 07-09-01 17:24:51 _____________________________________________________

Bignosetw ::: Favorites Sure - there was a story in the Seattle Times recently about girls in skimpy costumes working coffee stands pretty much on the betelnut-girl model. 07-08-24 22:54:49 _____________________________________________________

REALDonMack ::: Favorites I suppose I went a bit overboard there with the arsenic. When I first moved to Florida, they had women in skimpy bikini's working hot dog stands just off the road. I almost crashed into another car while gawking at one of them. They must have banned them because I don't see them anymore. Now ... you could say, she's was just selling hot dogs, but guys suddenly had the urge to have one when they'd see these women scantily clad. 07-08-23 20:42:55 _____________________________________________________
ophashias ::: Favorites Well, it's not quite THAT drastic (or simple). Firstly, she's not selling sex, she's selling betelnut - her being sexy doesn't turn you on to the stuff, it just influences the decision about WHERE you are going to buy it. Secondly, the carcinogenic properties of betelnut is probably on par with cigarettes. So if we stay in your analog for a moment, this would be merely like having sex and she offers you a cigarette afterwards :) 07-08-23 20:22:14 _____________________________________________________
REALDonMack ::: Favorites Seems to me they use the sexy girls to promote this product which appears to cause cancer. When it comes to sex, a woman could tell a man, "Here, take this arsenic, it's good for you," and he would if he had sex on his mind. I was there in Taipei on R & R from Viet Nam at an Army base in 1966 and thought I was in heaven. I spent the whole week with the same woman and cried when I had to leave. I was crazy about her. Wish I had gone back for her. 07-08-23 13:23:43 _____________________________________________________
