>driving to work with an older guy in a company vehicle
>work in male dominated industry. like 99% male so it's kind of macho (not that I'm so macho)
>suddenly I hear AKB come on our national radio channel
>freaking out
>I start shouting 'AKB! AKB!' over and over
>co-worker is just like what
>the host of the show talks all about the group and even has an expat reporter in Japan make a report
>reporter talks all about them says there's like over 100 members. even talks about chara's and stuff. hats off to the man it was a damn thorough report
>he keeps going on about how there is one girl to appeal to every possible interest. one that likes video games. one that likes soccer. etc etc
>ok, that makes them seem a bit lame and 2 dimensional but whatever
>talks about the fans (which ,moments earlier, I had revealed myself to be)
>he's brutally honest. says they're obsessive. most of them don't have girlfriends of their own so they look to idols for solace. says they are outcasts of society. completely rips wotas apart, somehow in a matter-of-fact, non-judgmental way
>report ends and I just sink into my seat
>co-worker just looks at me like 'wtf man'
>awkward silence for the rest of the trip
