Ha, nice. I was never really exposed to this site until today...told a friend how bored I was, so he sent me a link to failblog.. Good shit
Sadly, people nowadays just have never heard of the "place in question" (don't want to spoil it for others).
In Japan, they actually do rent books. But that's probably because libraries here don't want to stock manga and pornography. :-/
Oh my God, that had me busting up for like 5 minutes straight. I'm shitting in my pants it's so funny. That has to be a joke, no one is that stupid. I pray to God no one is that stupid. Please God. Slap some sense into the silly bastard.
The strange thing is that in Japan there are stores that rent books. Libraries are free from what I remember. Yakumo
