u lookin' at me?

I couldn't help quoting Deniro from Taxi Driver as I watched this video. Aint this creepy? In actuality, the DVD called Miteruu Dake (Just Looking) was created by Japanese Record label Avex as a therapeutic tool to help shy guys overcome their social anxieties. They can practice making eye contact with women and start up one-way conversations.

Its interesting that they've recognized and targeted this specifically awkward market. But it makes sense after reading about certain otaku who spent a romantic xmas night with blow up dolls of their favorite anime chicks. In their eyes, blow up anime chicks are the ideal - impossibly perfect proportions...and they won't talk back to you. So if you see some awkward dude staring unceasingly at a girl, you know he copped this vid. More analysis here.
