But at least you've heard *of* Britney Spears.

So you mean you actually live in Japan and haven't picked up on the Korean
boom that has been going on for at least a year now (and even longer if you
count back to the jointly hosted World Cup)? And you didn't know how bad the
earthquake is? Do you live in a cave somewhere? Dude, you need to get out
and mingle with actual people a little bit more.

women of the "meaningless" variety...
