And then there are times where you blow my mind with something that may seem all kinds of silly but really just make sense. This is one of those times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the ninth year, Japanese adult satellite network (read: porn), Paradise TV ran a Jerry Lewis like telethon raising money for AIDS research and awareness. Titled the <em>24 Hour TV: Eroticism Saves the Earth<\/em>, the telethon gave subscribers a chance to pledge donations, bid on the drawers of their favorite AV starlets (some reportedly fetched as much as \u00a530,000), and even get very hands on (like the self-identified 33-year-old virgin that paid touch some breasts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you agree with the methods of Paradise TV&#8217;s fund raiser or not, it is worth mentioning that Japan is facing a crisis tackling the spread of HIV and AIDS. Last year, Japan&#8217;s Ministry of Health reported over 1500 new cases of HIV and 453 new cases of AIDS; in the end there is a point behind all the madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tokyoreporter.com\/2011\/08\/21\/tokyo-porn-channelparadise-tv-wraps-ninth-aids-charity-fund-drive\/\">TokyoReporter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the unique and humorous side of Japan as Paradise TV hosts its 9th annual telethon for AIDS research.
