"Large breasts won the trial"

A great little titillating story this week is the news that a pin-up model has been cleared of property destruction after proving in court that her breasts were too large for her to squeeze into a room through a hole.

Serena Kozakura, 38, had been convicted last year of property destruction after a man said she kicked in the wooden door of his room and crawled inside, apparently because he was with another woman. However, in the appeal, Kozakura was able to show in court that her 44-inch bust is too large to fit through the small hole, proving her innocence.

“I used to hate my body so much…but it was my breasts that won” said the model.

This story caused a stir in the Japanese media, with the Asahi network inviting her to demonstrate on air how she could not fit into the opening.

This story is perfect for the networks as it is an industry fact that any large breasted story is great for audience figures. A 19 year old Japanese girl, thought to have the largest breasts in this country, is fought over by television companies dying to get her on their programs. When she does appear on a TV show, the audience rates shoot up by 1%, a huge number considering the audience figures are usually in their millions.
