Japanese Host Club Documentary
If you folks have 1hr 15mins to spare, may I suggest watching this documentary about Japanese host clubs. For the uninitiated, Host Clubs work like normal bars except that the customers are girls and the hosts are attractive men. The aim of the game is to give your female clients such a great time (and maybe even make them fall in love with you) that they'd be insane enough to order multiple $1,000 bottles of champagne in your gratitude. The comission you get from the drinks the girls buy can get you insanely rich (Think of $50,000/- a month) if you become a very popular host.
Watching the girls fork out insane amounts of money for a fantasy relationship is pretty saddening but at least you later find out that the male hosts do have a conscience behind their dyed hair and manicured eyebrows. The documentary is both intriguing yet saddening as you see lonely girls attempt to fill the void in their hearts by paying hosts for love. A very balanced documentary which shows you both sides of the picture.
