I've been reading the MDN recently and I found the Wai-Wai section and have been browsing it and have read some articles. Now, are most of these the true depiction of Japanese youth? As in them being so crazy about sex and third-grade girls selling themselves to older man among other topics.

It's accurate in the way that the National Enquirer is accurate.

Haha, thanks for the info, I get mad everytime I see those kind of tabloids as the Sun, the Globe, and Star when I go to Wal-Mart in the US. They make millions off many people's expense.
These magazines are not worth my time. I now know what I should expect when I go to Japan.

You cant always based what you read to be true. Theres always biasness and prejudice practice. Best is to read from various sources and figure them out.

Cool! A 19-month necropost about an obsolete section of the newspaper. :)

I do find WaiWai amusing in some way, but I do not consider it an accurate depiction of Japan. They are amusing stories to read if you are ever bored though.

That *is* why I mentioned it being an "obsolete page."

I know it is not in the paper, but it is still available online. If not new stories, than the archives.
