An Elderly Japanese Man Was Arrested For Dumping A Quarter Ton Of Porn In The Middle Of A Park

The idea of having to dispose of your porn collection, or a friend’s in this case, is probably going to be a foreign concept soon enough. With a wealth of content right at your fingertips thanks to an Internet connection, it’s almost unheard of to have a physical collection of porn these days.

That’s what makes stories like this a rare and incredible beast. A 70-year-old man going out of his way to do a solid for his friend, clearing out his stash of porn before anyone could find it. At least that was the plan until the police stepped in. From AFP:

Hideaki Adachi was spotted unloading 17 sacks of films and magazines, which included around 500 VHS video tapes, from the back of a truck at a small park in the western Japanese city of Osaka.

Adachi, 70, was arrested on suspicion of illegally dumping the 200 kilogrammes (440 pounds) of porn, but was released the next day after telling police he had found the trove in a storehouse belonging to a bedridden friend, police told AFP.

“He wanted to get rid of them out of goodwill for his friend,” a spokesman said.

It’s an honest mistake. You see Adachi volunteered with the homeless at the park and hoped that the bags of pornography would just be swept up and carried away with the other random trash at some point. Police thought otherwise, but soon changed their minds once they heard his heartwarming story and realized he wasn’t trying to give the porn away.

Meanwhile, I try to give a friend a file folder full of some of my favorite porno clips and his wife kicks us out of the house. Japan is clearly better than America in this department, even if they’re blurring out all of the private parts. Good on you, Adachi.
