To me, the only thing more disturbing than the explicit marketing of fake, non-alcoholic beer to kids (which, if I’m being honest, doesn’t *really* bother me that much, except I made a New Years resolution to “think of the children”) is the advertising slogan:

“Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink”

Umm… disconcerting. What in the world is going on in Japan that they need beer to “stand life”? Aren’t soiled panty vending machines enough for these people?
