BOOBS AND, UM, MORE BOOBS

As Breck C. said when he sent these in, “I never thought I’d ‘Breast Pudding’ as a subject line, and yet here we are…’.” These desserts (found here) are for sale in Japan:

You open the flaps on that image to see this next one–get it? It’s like a bra!

They provide several different girls, I guess to suit various tastes. The one on the left here is apparently for those who like their boobs square-ish. The one on the right is presumably for those who like prefer their women to be bored/irritated.

Pitseleh S. found these boob clogs at boinkology.  You can also get these clogs with piercings or tattoos.

Laura L. sent this one:

I found these here thanks to a hint from Stumblng Tumblr.

    I wonder if there are similar confections marketed to women; perhaps a pound cake shaped like a… hmm, maybe 73man is right.

    I’ve looked at this site a couple times since it came over to Contexts and I don’t get it. It is very, very strange. I guess the general idea is that we’re all supposed to be “outraged?” OK, sure, but what makes that “sociological?” Am I missing something?

    BTW, there are “erotic bakeries” in many U.S. cities, so tagging this as having something to do with “japan” is far from the mark. I suppose I could say something sociological about that, but I’m too outraged.

    The point isn’t that you’re supposed to be outraged, but rather than these images can be used to spark sociological discussion (we intended them for classes, but I suppose you can do it on the street corner if you want) about bigger themes–the images themselves are a starting point for discussions about anything from discrimination to patriotism to globalization or whatever else you might think of to do with them. I don’t find the boob puddings “offensive,” I find them funny but also a possible starting place for a discussion of things like our obsession with incorporating sex into the world around us in some ways but not others; they also fit into a series of posts we’ve had of women’s bodies being turned into things you can buy/touch. Not that we don’t do that with men’s bodies too, obviously, but often in different ways.

    I know there are erotic bakeries in the U.S. These products were on sale in Japan. We often tag things with the country they came from if they weren’t from the U.S. If we get a picture of something from Spain, we’d tag it as “Spain.” It doesn’t mean we’re saying that image says something about Spanish culture, but simply that that’s where it originated from. My comment in the post about Japan was meant to connect to the anime-like features, not that somehow Japan is the only place on earth that has food shaped like sexual parts.

    As for the sociological element–we just provide examples of images we think might be useful for illustrating some sociological ideas (the way black women’s bodies are often animalized, for instance, or that social movement messages are often coopted and trivialized over time). But people are free to do whatever they want with the images. If the best someone can do is express “outrage,” that’s not particularly sociological or sophisticated, but I guess that’s what some people will do with it.

    There is a gourmet dessert called Fragomammella that was invented by an Italian chef and later popularized on the cooking show “Two Fat Ladies.” You can easily find the complete recipe by Googling, but it’s basically sweetened ricotta molded into a boob shape, topped with a strawberry nipple, and served (naturally) in pairs.

    I don’t speak Italian, but I would assume that the name literally translates to “small strawberry breast.”

    The sociological question of my day: why all the fuss in today’s Western culture over boobs? Honestly, the FCC regulates every nipple flash with puritanical fury, but then lets us watch gory, creative murders every week on CSI. Which is more “natural”, and what exactly are we being protected from?

    The mother’s milk thing is funny. I mean, we think of drinking human breastmilk as adults really disgusting, but it’s not like it’s natural to drink other animals’ milk either.

    And the boob clogs are weird. How do you wear them?

    Btw, the different boob puddings have the names of different major Japanese cities on them. Maybe the different types of women are supposed to be represent the character of the women in those cities…?
