If I buy these products, I'll start to feel ashamed of myself and start drinking.

It looks like a set of five. I wonder if it's good sake, or the nasty cheap crap? Is it possible that otaku would pay extra for good sake in a moe bottle?

Ummm...wut?
I don't like sake, period. They can slap things like steamy hot fanservice pics on the bottles all they want, but I still won't touch it. =/ |

I like sake as much as the next guy (or gal), but when you sell any kinda of booze with a hook like that, it does make you a little wary of the quality.
Again, good or bad, drink enough of it, you'll be feeling quite moe anyway.

Man, I need to find a place here in the US that sells those, I would totally buy at least 1 of each just so I can have em sitting around in my cube at work. Right under the Gurren Lagann flag...

lol Taro Aso. How did he get that permanent sneer set into his face?
Coincidentally, I don't drink alcohol at all, but my brother is a fervent beer aficionado/snob and works at a liquor store. He's always trying to get me to drink beer, and I tell him, "If your store starts stocking moe ita-beer like they have in Japan, then I'll drink it." |

"The Moesyu Tomulier brand is a collaborative effort by distilleries to attract the interest of younger drinkers."
How young is younger? Japan's minimum drinking age is 20. If they're trying to attract even younger drinkers, that wouldn't sit well with Japan's equivalent of MADD.

Bishoujo/moe seem to be aimed at about 20-35, looking at magazine demographics. Seems about right. |

Wow. From Prime Minister to hawking sake with pretty cartoon characters on them. That's one hell of a career plunge...

He isn't. There was a point where the LDP actually avoided him like the plague. LDP candidates refused to be associated with him. Heck, near the end of his last election cycle, there was this one creepy looking ad where Aso just stands there, not speaking. It's like someone at the LDP just said "SHUT UP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE AND LOOK PRETTY FOR THE CAMERA!!" Well, this is what Aso thinks is "pretty:" 
Yes, 15 seconds of Aso just blindly staring at the camera, scowling while a narrator tries in vain to defend him. |

Well, it's possible that most of them love him in an "I am amused by him/wwww" way, and don't support his policies at all. Sort of like how many people once made Chuck Norris jokes, but would certainly disagree with his very conservative views. |

I think Bush seems like a nice enough guy as a person. I can't say that Obama seems like that to me. He seems very aloof and with some of his statements almost like he really thinks of himself as some lesser deity. I'm sure Bush's appearance isn't reality though, he's got some "f*** the Constitution" style statements said privately that would definitely bring him down notches if more people were aware of that. My perspective on both of them politically is that they are both corporatist and serve special interests. But that's not really any different from almost every other elected official. |
