It can be hard to appeal to school kids, especially when you are trying to teach them a dry subject like mathematics.
So you can forgive someone when they resort to gimmicks to perk students' interest. In the case of one publisher in Thailand, they used a picture of a hot woman on the cover of a textbook.
Okay, so not very subtle but it IS going to get the boys in the class interested.
There was only one problem.
Muang Thai Book sourced the image from the web -- common in Thailand, apparently -- and in fact it turned out to be a promo picture for a Japanese porn film.

We've all fantasized about having sex with idols. Sometimes the idols break the rules imposed (probably illegally) by their management and have relationships, including with fans. Usually what then happens is they get found out and fire. They are left "shamed" for daring to have sex while the partner in question is the envy of men around the land.
But perhaps these guys would think twice about where they stick their wick next time.
Because they might just get sued.
Yes, in what might be the most incredulous flaunting of human rights in the history of the idol industry in Japan, a ...
As we know, Japan's beaches are dirty and every year at the end of the summer there is a big cleanup operation to try to get rid of some of the garbage.
In fact, Tenga were clever enough to turn this kind of cleanup event into a marketing stunt, where the most active cleaners get free Tenga masturbatory aids. Now that would certainly inspire zeal among the young.
However, someone should let Tenga know -- they are partly responsible for the mess themselves!
A photo doing the rounds of the Japanese web at the moment is one apparently taken by someone of what they found among the ...
Relax. The Japanese economy has been saved. Engineers are here to rescue industry from the doldrums and produce the next step forward like the Walkman or the Hybrid car all those years ago.
Young engineers like this one.
Smart boffin Ryuto Soma joins a long line of other tech-savvy hentai geeks in Japan who use their technological skills for reasons of a masturbatory nature.
We've already had the Novint Falcon headset and Tenga combo and even a virtual sex system courtesy of the University of Tsukuba.
Ryuto Soma has come along and combined the Oculus Rift with a pair of ...
Japan may well have the largest porn industry in the world and a vibrant sex toys market, but so far it has almost entirely been for the male consumer. Now porn for women is finally catching on in Japan.
Actually part of this is thanks to magazine Anan, which has run regular sex-themed special editions that have generated publicity and mainstream acceptance for fashion-minded women reading about sex. A recent August sex issue featured a freebie DVD from Soft on Demand's Silk Labo porn-for-women brand.
Soft on Demand has also placed women employees in senior positions and started a ...
Summer in Japan is all about watermelons. The large expensive fruits are always bought for parties and excursions, and brought out for the group to whack with a stick and then share.
But we don't think anyone will be whacking this pair of watermelons in Fukui Prefecture, since they resemble a curvy butt -- a relatively rare thing in Japan!
Apparently weighing 15 pounds, the fruit is actually two watermelons joined together, called twin watermelons in Japan.
Kotaku had a nice round-up of some other butt watermelons in Japan over the years. There have actually been quite a few, ...
Japanese model and actress Karina (30) has made her first appearance after disappearing from public view since spring this year, when the weekly tabloid magazine Friday ran a picture of her in a supposedly post-coital passed-out state.
The world was shocked when Karina, mostly known as a fashion model and innocuous TV actress, was pictured partly naked with her legs spread wide open. Not just unflattering, it was overtly sexual and dirty -- not Karina's usual clean image. Friday published the image in March this year, though it actually dates back to a party in Hawaii in summer two years ago ...
The 2020 Olympics have found their future local star. This young man can run super fast, no doubt because he has energy feeding into his body courtesy of his love for 2D idols.
Yes, this is Japan's fastest otaku.
At the Emperor's Cup 83rd Japan Student Field and Track Championship over the weekend, Hiroki Hashimoto ran the male 400 meters dash in under 51 seconds, claiming the number one spot on the podium.
Hashimoto, who is a student at Nihon University, Japan's largest college, chose to celebrate his victory on Sunday with his best friend, a 2D idol that is his most beloved ...
We've long said that Tenga are one of the most interesting sex toys brands not just in Japan, but in the whole world. Here's another example.
They are innovative for two reasons. Their approach to sex toys always prioritizes the design of the product, from the way it looks on the outside as well as the inside, and even the packaging.
Secondly, their attitude towards marketing, which is bold, clever and fun.
Although the brand has lots its personal touch since it got absorbed by Soft on Demand and started using a major ad agency, we can't think of many sex toys that would sponsor an ...
For a culture that doesn't really have much sense of irony (especially in its comedy or mainstream entertainment), the Japanese sex toys industry seems to take the lead in introducing a healthy dose of parody into proceedings.
And so we get sex toys very unofficially modeled on hunky EXILE member Atsushi and even a unique handjob toy and porn film series inspired by Hello! Project idol group Berryz Kobo. In the past we have also seen lubes and lotions based on famous drinks, Gundam-inspired condoms, and even Pachinko vibrators.
This Listen to Me, Girls! I Am Your Horny Father Onahole, ...
