<p>Poll-related things should be left to our friends over at <a href="http://www.whatjapanthinks.com">WhatJapanThinks</a>, but I couldn&#8217;t help myself on this one. Uniqlo, a super-cheap clothing store chain, came out with this website, which is probably 80% about bras, but also throw in a few other questions as well. At the top-left of the screen there&#8217;s a question (also translated into English right underneath), and everywhere else is a cacophony Japanese women answering questions. You can even click on them to find out more, or see what someone has to say about the question being asked.<span id="more-986"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-993 aligncenter" title="uniqlobra21" src="http://www.tofugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/uniqlobra21.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="302" /></p>
<p>It looks like Uniqlo gathered a couple hundred women, and asked around 15 questions, which they answered on video (click on one of them to see your response). On the bottom left, there are a few options that let you narrow things down. Things like age, body type, bra size, and height are all options.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-994" title="uniqlobra51" src="http://www.tofugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/uniqlobra51.jpg" alt="" width="442" height="68" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In the bottom right, there is the option to change things to &#8220;English.&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t change what the people are saying, but it does provide subtitles for you, as well as changes some other things to English as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-990" title="uniqlobra4" src="http://www.tofugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/uniqlobra4.jpg" alt="" width="488" height="248" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Perhaps the most interesting part is the ability to click on people as they fly by, to see their response to a particular question. Although questions seem to change randomly, you can usually get a few clicks in before it changes to something else. There aren&#8217;t a ton of questions, so it&#8217;s pretty easy to loop around, and the feature that lets you narrow people down makes it more manageable (you&#8217;ll see what I mean when you visit the site).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Want to check out this page of pure graphical data? <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/try/">Click here</a> (and yes, it is completely safe for work&#8230;<em>suspiciously</em> safe.)</p>
