Are you currently trying to sell a product to old perverted Japanese men, or just perverts in general? If so, then we’ve found the right advertising medium for you.

The latest craze in Japan seems to involve Japanese women renting themselves out… for advertising purposes, of course. The new trend involves sticking an advertising sticker to an exposed part of the leg.

The service is being promoted by Absolute Territory PR, which claims the number of women taking part is increasing by the day.

Absolute Territory PR takes its name from the Japanese phrase ‘zettai ryouiki koukoku’ (absolute territory), which, in Japanese circles refers to the exposed bit of leg between a knee high sock and a skirt.

According to Eichi Atsumi, a spokesperson for Absolute Territory PR, the women who take part must be over 18 and they have to wear the stickers for at least 8 hours a day. They must also update their social media pages with pictures of their thigh-high ad over the course of the day, once they have over 20 social media followers, that is.

It’s a bit pervy, but still, we’re sure the products being advertised are getting quite a bit of exposure…

Here are some more examples for, eh… science? Yeah, lets stick with science.
