Obviously the Japanese aren't watching enough CNN, otherwise they'd know
that
all photographers are Internet pedophile pornography paparazzi photographers
(unless they are female, in which case they are just paparazzi
photographers).
In other countries, where people watch plenty of sensationalist news on TV
to
learn the _real_ story, they'd be chasing you with sticks or demanding cash.
