| OmegaMan66 New Member 1 Posts 6/00 | A buddy of mine just got back from Japan, and he brought back some porn he bought in Tokyo. He brought back this stuff called "AV Idol" that had incredibly beautiful women, but all the crotch shots were blurred out. Can someone explain to me what the deal is? He was also able to find "non-bluured" porn... OM66 [Link] |

So they are slowly starting to open up their porn. There are some undgerground stuff in japan that is uncensored but that is usually amaetur stuff. You'll very very very rarely find an Av Idol in one of the uncensored underground stuff. it seems with the recent trend.. they are starting to show more asses..since asses aren't censored. well thats just my 2cents. ------------------ |
| DGF Member 122 Posts 1/00 | "Just one more note: in Japan, they sell a device called mosaic remover which removes the mosaic in videos. I am not sure if it really works but they are expensive. " There's no such thing, it's a myth and anyone who claims to sell that is just trying to rip you off. |

| DGF Member 122 Posts 1/00 | I guess what I meant to say is that is doesn't work. That it's a rip-off. The reason is that if the data isn't there on the tape then it can't be recovered. When those mosaic things are put on, the data is lost and therefore can't be recovered. My guess would be that what the product does is that it smoothes out the pixels. This is done by say taking two pixels(or mosaic squares) side by side and creating a new imaginary(note that it is IMAGINARY and not real) pixel in between that has color and brightness in between the surrounding pixels. The process is repeated over an over. It's an image enhancement technique. But note that this is not the same as removing the mosaic. You wouldn't actually see a mosaic allright but probably just a blur instead of a mosaic. Geez, what much have you achieved! So technically it would "remove" the mosaic but it is not really the kind of removal you had in mind when buying the rip-off device. This is just a rip-off and does not and cannot possibly work as advertised. I know I sound self-confident in saying this and the reason is because if the data is not there then it cannot be recovered, period. The only way I could be wrong is if somehow the method used to create the mosaic didn't really overwrite the video signal at the particular location of the mosaic. This would be a theoretical possibility with a DVD, while with VHS it seems like an impossibility. Nonetheless it seems very unlikely that even on DVD the data would be retained in some way. It's also conceivable I could be wrong if the mosaic were not a true mosaic but instead contained within it an encrypted or scrambled version of the original. But again, this seems extremely unlikely as it would require intentional complicity of the video producer which could get them into legal trouble. I'll tell you what. Does the product advertisement offer a money-back guarantee? I dare bet it doesn't!!! The fact that is doesn't offer a money-back guarantee would be final proof for me that it's just a rip-off. At the veyr least it should offer a guarantee or provide some kind of trial or demonstration. [This message has been edited by DGF (edited June 12, 2000).] |

| sonic Deactivated User 1178 Posts 12/99 | I'm serious here guys..don't they have a yearly parade? I've seen it on channel thirteen and the chics do very softcore acts down the streets holding huge penis like dildos. ??? Am I mixing it up with Korea or China? If so..the japanese are really stupid people because if they can't show CHOCHA and PINGA in their flicks but can celebrate "Penis Day"..than what's the whole point? P.S: I love the japanese..because they made Playstation 2. -sonic<small> [This message has been edited by sonic (edited June 15, 2000).] |

| spesedy Member Germany 238 Posts 8/00 | Years ago in the times of the Fido-Net, I came across large collections of Japanese pics with mosaics, cut out areas or areas which were made unrecognizable by some algorithm. I guess it's not totally impossible such a device could work for video-tapes, especially since I already heard some rumors about them at that early time. |
