One was not previously aware that Cadbury had a Japanese subsidiary. On a jocular whim, it could be questioned whether the notion of virtual girlfriends befits the values under which the company was founded. (Not that this matter is at all relevant to their post-Kraft state of being, of course.) |

I still don't get the whole 'Virtual Girlfriend' business. Sure, she's cute, but what's wrong with real girls? They are a lot softer and warmer than a computer monitor and keyboard.

That's what people on Kotaku has been talking about whenever Love Plus pops up. Yeah I don't understand it too, it's not like these girls are going to cook food, get all "Snuggy wuggy", or take care of children for you. Some people speculate that "virtual girlfriend" are probably the reason why Japan's birthrate are declining. |

Real girls have a heck of a lot of problems that 2D girls lack. |

The CM is just pure win.
not really sure why Kotaku matters... you'd get a totally different opinion from say... Sankaku. Anyways, it's just an idealization. A projection, a sort of vicarious interaction. As far as Japan's bithrate goes, that keeps on being brought up as somehow "the" example which is ironic considering several European countries actually have lower birth rates and/or greater decline rates than Japan, and several other EU countries are comparable to or trending like Japan. So it's not like they're all playing Loveplus...

True, but that's part of the challenge. If real girls were completely predictable, they'd be pretty boring, don't you think? Besides, on those rare occasions when you DO get it right the reward can be much more pleasant than anything on a video screen can provide. |

I was tempted to make a remark based on an intricate distortion of a bird in the hand and two in the bush, but its too late at night to get it right, so I elected not to do so. I never had any luck with real girls. As for women, that went better, but now I am married to one of them, so its safest for my health if I don't have any further luck with any other women. |

You're right, I forgot Europe's birthrate is declining too. But it was never brought up on Kotaku. Anyway, a lot of people are creeped out with Love Plus and how people are being obessed with the girls in the game over the real one. I know the girls are pretty in the game, but they can't compared to real one. I don't know if any of the Love Plus girl and I could share something in common like for me, I love Science and video game beside anime/manga. Could the girls in Love Plus share that same interest, I bet you not.

Now that is a slogan that would easily convince me to watch a halls commercial, simply because it just sounds hilarious. I have to wonder though if the USA branch has ever considered a idea like what Japan Halls is doing. |
