I just found an article detailing the 10 stupidest British Laws.
Underneath, there was a section detailling the 10 stupidest foreign laws.
Number 9 on this list claims that there is no age of consent in Japan. However, further research has told me that the age of consent is 13 and, in some prefectures, 16. I was wondering how people felt about this comment. Is it just a "fact" that the writers didn't think to look into, or is it a blatent lie to further the stereotype of Japan as an extremely perverted nation?
Here is a link to the original article, Ten stupidest laws are named - Telegraph.co.uk
