An exchange from an unusually well-written and acted porn parody of DC Comics, called Just Ass League, released in 2002. Despite the stupid name, the writing it self was done by genuine fans of the comics, and though things were obviously made fitting for the genre, including of course gratuitous sex scenes between characters (or rather, obvious knockoffs of characters, down to having the same 'real' names if thinly veiled different superhero names) that would never have gotten together otherwise, costume changes (though that were in the spirit of the original costumes) and getting people who could... well, actually act, the movie was actually considered pretty good... even if it didn't sell well, because not many people were buying a porno for a good plot.

Excerpt from the academic book titled Cowboys and Samurai: Rise of the Gaijin Shogunate. A historical analysis, the work examines how Japan became a U.S. colony (later a protectorate) as a result of a series of wars between USA and the Tokugawa Shogunate in the aftermath of Perry Expedition’s failure to peacefully open Japan to the outside world. Thanks to America, Japan underwent colossal and rapid changes within its feudal society. What emerged was an unusual blend of American culture and values suffused with the traditional Japanese system. For example, when Japan finally became an independent republic in the 1950s the constitution enshrined that the general of the US Force in Japan be given the title of Shogun (this was done by Tokyo as a way to legitimize and prolong US troop deployment to the islands post-independence as the Japanese feared they were vulnerable to their neighbours like the Korean Empire and the Russian Republic).

However, his government would be jettisoned from power with the rise and election of the Progressive Party.
