@ Shiratori1: qwerty1212 is correct, I never seen J-pop reaching the same level of popularity as K-pop did worldwide. J-pop never broke the language barrier the same way K-pop did around the world. Also I never seen J-pop doing a lot of concerts outside of Asia. Only quite a few have done it, but K-pop has done more concerts outside of Asia. K-pop on Youtube has more views then any J-pop or any anime shows video like qwerty1212 said.
When was the last time J-pop like AKB48 performed in South America? Never, K-pop achieved this
When was the last time J-pop performed in the Middle East? None, K-pop like Nine Muses, ZE:A, and Seo In Young were the first K-pop and the first East Asian pop singers to performed in the Middle East.
Does Japan have J-pop concerts outside of Asia on the same level as SMTown, United Cube, or Music Bank World Tour?? I never seen Avex's A-nation performing outside of Japan.
Again, you didn't answer my question. Do you listen to K-pop or know the extent of their popularity outside of Asia? Do you watch Korean drama or know the extent of their popularity outside of Asia? This is why a maid cafe would not even work today, Japan's pop culture is not that big as it was few years before Korean Wave went global. Girls Generation is more well-known around the world then AKB48. their music video are played on Latin American music TV, UK TV, and Eastern Europe TV.
Also you're starting to sound like a Japanese right-wing nationalist that like to bash Korean, and maybe slightly anti-Korean. I'm no Korean supremacist but let me ask you this:
Why is there 100+ K-drama available on Dramafever, Crunchyroll, and Hulu yet Japan only export a few J-dramas to US? Why is Japan not exporting hundred of J-dramas to the US ( can find 7 or 8 J-dramas on Crunchyroll, and 2 on Dramafever) when Korea is doing that for K-dramas, has that thought ever occurred to you?
Why does Itune have a lot of K-pop albums available for International fans, yet Itunes don't have a lot of J-pop album available for international fans, I could only find AKB48 and Morning Musume but Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamazaki, nor Koda Kumi and other big J-pop artists albums are not on Itunes in the US and other countries?
I like to add KBS World, and Arirang TV have showed K-drama and K-pop, where NHK World just have J-melo and no J-drama shown on their channel. That's why and how Korean Wave is spread around the world. I never seen NHK world having programs something similar to Arirang TV's Showbiz Korea (Korea's Access Hollywood), Pop in Seoul and Simply K-pop. I never seen NHK World making a program similar to Arirang TV's After School Club.
I'm sorry I have to say this, but Japan is falling behind it's Korean counterpart, sure we have anime/manga, but Japan is not exporting J-pop and J-drama to overpower Korea. South Korea now is the current dominant cultural superpower, Japan doesn't have that title anymore because of Korean drama and K-pop music. Japan could've taken advantage of the Korean Wave to give J-pop artists a major international exposure meaning if EXILE and AKB48 were promoted on a international level, they could've been popular as Super Junior and Girls Generation. I never seen EXILE performed outside of Japan where Super Junior performed around the world, and AKB48 just did some concerts outside of Asia like US, France, Taiwan, and Russia. Where Girls Generation has performed in US, France, Japan, and most of Asia. They have announced a world tour so that's another reason SNSD has gotten more famous then AKB48 outside of Asia. I'm sorry but Japan failed to do that and now look Korean culture is getting all the attention these day.
Tiffany of SNSD is going to do a ceremonial first pitch at a Dodgers game on Sunday. When is the last time a J-pop artists did this?
As I said, you're underestimating the Korean Wave and K-pop popularity. I also said in my opinion, the maid cafe is not going to do well because well Korean pop culture is taking over Japanese pop culture around the world. I think a K-pop theme cafe works better because K-pop is getting more popular. Also previous attempt to open up maid cafe ended up as failure. If you want maid cafe to survive and get popular outside of Asia, then Japan will have to learn from the Korean Wave and replicate it the same way for not only anime and manga, but also for J-pop and J-drama if you want Japanese pop culture to be popular again. When Japan have it's own hallyu/Japanese Wave, then that would be the right time to open up a maid cafe outside of Asia. I've not seen Japan putting any effort to replicate the Korean Wave/Hallyu. A K-pop themed cafe can last longer then a maid cafe because of the popularity of K-pop/K-drama around the world. If you think I'm making this up then you're really misinformed like qwerty1212 said and delusional.

I like K-dramas & K-pop as much as (okay probably a lot more than) the next guy, and I agree they're getting more attention worldwide than their Japanese counterparts (I'm sure partially due to sheer availability, thanks to streaming sites in the last few years-- no need to hunt down raws & fansubs for most recent shows like I had to do when I started watching dramas). But I feel like we're comparing apples to oranges here.
K-pop fandom is based on individual artists' personalities-- so while I really would pay through the nose to be waited on by various members of my favorite [male] idol groups, I don't think they need the gig waiting tables in another country (and if it's just a cafe with K-pop posters on the walls then hell, I can just eat in my living room for the same effect). On the other hand, the maids in a maid cafe aren't really supposed to be individual personalities, they're just cosplaying a character type.

I don't know about all this K/J in-fighting. The only thing I'm basing my theory on is the fact that multiple recent attempts at the idea of a maid cafe in America have all failed.
Incidentally, it seems they've all failed within a year, which as I've heard (...somewhere) is the hardest time for a new restaurant.
And I don't think they've failed because of women's rights activists forcing them shut with "lawsuits" (what?), because we have chains like Hooters, and the Catholic schoolgirl the... I mean, Celtic themed "Tilted Kilt" and the like running about, and existing.

Well there are J-pop fans that are getting jealous that K-pop is getting more attention in the west then J-pop, I would be jealous too but that would be Japan's fault for that, they're not taking pro-active measure to make J-pop available outside of Asia hence why K-pop is able to get popular around the world.
But back on topic, the maid cafe will not work in the US because:
number 1, it's strange and previous attempt to make one always fail in the end.
number 2, Japanese pop culture is not popular enough in the US to have a maid cafe. If this was a K-pop theme cafe, then it would be different because of the Korean Wave and the popularity of K-pop. A K-pop theme Cafe in the US would last longer then a maid cafe because K-pop is popular.
number 3, we're in a Korean Wave, not a Japanese Wave. So this isn't the right time to have a maid cafe outside of Asia. If this is a Japanese wave, then a maid cafe outside of Asia would be able to last for some time.
So if you want to have a maid cafe to last long in the US. Wait for Japan to have it's own hallyu meaning take the idea from South Korea (as in exporting J-pop and J-drama outside of Asia) and replicate it outside of Japan and Asia and Japanese pop culture get popular around the world and there you go. That's all I have to say.
Ok that would make me uncomfortable too like Enurtsol said.

Feminists have been getting it wrong for years.
There is nothing wrong in how women are portrayed or what they wear. A lot of people of both genders choose to wear clothing that would otherwise be considered un-formal. Its their choice and nobody is forcing them.
If a young lady decides to work at a maid cafe or hooter, she is making the decision on her own accord. Nobody is coercing her or forcing her against her will. She is doing it because she may like it or want the money. That' that.
When women are denied opportunities or discriminated because of their gender, then yeah, I see a reason protest such. If its how they're portrayed in video games, anime, comics, live dramas, or because they wear suggestive outfits or work for a "questionable" job" than that's a completely different story.
1) the women in animated and comic series are fictional and no real women is being "violated."
2) Women who choose to wear suggestive clothing or work at questionable jobs do so on their own accord. Nobody is forcing them to do it nor is it degrading because its just cloting(or their sense of "style") and those in "questionable" occupations" are making money and some of them are more than likely enjoying the job.
Modern Day feminists= As bad as Neoconservatives
Both JPop and Kpop have been spreading for years. Of course, Kpop looks more notable because not only did it spread through grassroots and word of mouth just as Jpop did but also has the support of most Korean entertainment industries. The Koreans companies were really keen of expanding to markets outside of their own while many Japanese companies have been slow enough to catch up with the rest of the world. Some don't even bother with the market outside of their own, hence why they are stagnating and why the Korean entertainment industries are becoming more competitive.
Of course, Jpop, is still more popular than Kpop, despite the noise Kpop has been making. Because well, Jpop has been spreading through word of mouth and grassroots for decades. Kpop is still a young but growing pop-culture trend.
Kpop video gain more views because they cater to their demographics. Most fans don't watch Anime on Youtube. Much of the Anime content is viewed on streaming sites, both legal and illegal, which normally rake 50% of web traffic from the US alone. Crunchyroll rakes just as many visitors as Marvel.com does and that is a Disney brand.
Nobody watches Anime on Youtube because most Animes are normally taken down. Crunchyroll, and the other streaming sites already provide the source for the fanbase.
And don't underestimate Jpop. Conventions nationwide(mainly of Anime/Manga) have been gradually increasing in attendance. And we are starting to see more Anime conventions arose out of nowhere and rake in more and more people. It is unlikely Jpop will be superseded by Kpop but rather, but their popular will coincide with one another because the Koreans have been aggressively expanding their culture overseas while many Jpop fans continue to spread their pop-culture to others.

uh, Funimation has it's own Youtube pages and anime is shown on Youtube also. I'm planning to watch Voltron and it's uncut counterpart, GoLion on Youtube soon.
it's true about J-pop is unique that's what I like about it, but K-pop have done many achievements that J-pop have never done:
-Peru and South Korea increased economic ties because of K-pop popularity in Peru, the vice president of Peru has said this in a interview.
-Done concerts in South America and the Middle East. I never seen J-pop artists went down to those 2 continents. K-pop was the first to do that.
-Because K-pop is mainstream in Latin America, it led to the formation of Annual Latin America K-Pop Competition. I never seen J-pop doing something similar. There is also the K-pop World festival, again I never seen a J-pop equivalent of this. When was the last time Japan ever did a J-pop festival and invite J-pop fans from all over the world to travel to Japan to take part in a contest like this??
-Gangnam Style have helped give K-pop a worldwide attention, I never seen J-pop having it's own Gangnam Style to gain international attention.
-K-pop has gotten more media coverage around the world then J-pop. I never seen J-pop getting this much media coverage, the only exception is J-rock and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has gotten western attention but I never seen EXILE, AKB48 or any other J-pop getting extensive coverage from around the world.
As a matter of fact, Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki has never performed in the US. Koda Kumi performed once in the US. Also EXILE never performed outside of Japan. I also like to add Japan has not exported a lot of J-dramas (I can only find a few on Crunchyroll and 2 on Dramafever) where Korea exported a lot of K-drama all over the world.
I'm not hating on Japan but they are losing to Korea on a international scale. K-pop artists are getting more mainstream attention in the west then J-pop. As a matter of fact because K-pop is getting more popular in the US, MTV is bringing back MTV K in the US this summer when it was first went off the air in 2007. Also channels like Arirang TV and KBS World heavily promote K-drama and K-pop programs while NHK World only has J-Melo and no J-dramas (they don't even show anime on NHK World). So that's a big different why South Korean pop culture is more known around the world then Japanese pop culture.
I'm sorry but South Korea has won the title of Cultural Superpower, Japan used to have that because of anime and manga. But because K-drama and K-pop has won huge fanbases, Korea now has that title of cultural superpower. If Japan want to have that title back, they have to start exporting J-drama (that include Tokusatsu like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider) and start promoting J-pop outside of Asia the same way Korea for K-pop and K-drama. I do think J-pop could replicate the same success like K-pop outside of Asia if done correctly with the Japanese government assistance.
Japan have to use it's soft power just like South Korea did. Export more J-dramas for international audiences, NHK World should try to broadcast J-drama just like Arirang TV and KBS World does that with K-drama for their international audiences. If Japan can export more J-dramas to Crunchyroll, Dramafever, and Viki and other legal streaming sites it can gain the same level of popularity like K-dramas.
NHK World should have more J-pop programs other then J-Melo like J-pop program similar to Simply K-pop, Showbiz Korea, Pop in Seoul, and After School club. J-pop labels like Avex, Sony music entertainment, Johnny & Associate have to know how to promote J-pop on Youtube, South Korea knows how to globalize K-pop hence why it's popular. Also put more J-pop on Itunes that include Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Koda Kumi and other top J-pop artists on there to make it easier to get. Also for J-pop concerts, do not only do anime con, J-pop labels need to make concerts on the same scale as SMTown, United Cube, and Music Bank World Tour. I think Avex's A-nation should try doing concerts outside of Japan and Asia (that include South America, Middle East, and Europe), that could give J-pop a major publicity and popularity. If Japan can replicate this carefully and successfully then EXILE and AKB48 could end up getting the same level of international popularity on the same scale as Super Junior and Girls Generation. Other J-pop group could fare well against K-pop group like:
Arashi=Japan's equivalent of SHINee
J Soul Brothers=Japan's answer to U-KISS, MBLAQ, and 2PM
Dream and Dream5= those J-pop groups could probably compete with Girl's Day, f(x)
Just like K-pop, J-pop will need to have member that can speak multiple language that include English, Spanish, Korean to make themselves able to connect to their international audiences. AKB48 dance will have to be revamp to be on par with K-pop dancing, I mean look at Girls Generation dance and compare that to AKB48 dance, the cute dance AKB48 is not going to help them outside of Japan. They'll have to dance just like K-pop group if they want to gain international audiences. Also my other concern is the quality of J-pop music video, a lot of them don't look good and not visually appealing like K-pop music video (there are some J-pop music video that are visually appealing on par with K-pop, but most of J-pop music video don't look good and have a homemade mediocre look). J-pop companies have to deal with those if they want to conquer the world just like K-pop.
Now who is Japan's equivalent of 2NE1, and who is J-pop's BigBang? Does Japan have a J-pop equivalent of 4minute? What about a J-pop's BEAST/B2ST? Who is Japan's answer to Kim Hyuna? Does J-pop have a group similar to Miss A?
If J-pop is going to go international, they're going to need to create a group that can compete with the K-pop group I mention. There are more tourist going to South Korea then Japan all because of K-drama and K-pop, if Japan can export J-drama and J-pop outside of Asia, then Japan itself will get more tourist. Also make anime cheaper when US companies license them, I heard something about acquiring anime licenses is expensive (not cheap) and that's why selling anime on DVDs in the US is hard to do with that expensive license. So Japan has to make acquiring anime licenses cheaper and easier for US companies to get.

You can say the same thing about K dramas/kpop shows. No one watches them on youtube. The majority of my friends torrent them as well or watch them from other sites that's not really known to the public. Also, I can't speak for the anime fandom vs kpop fandom, but at this point you can pretty much say that kpop is more popular than jpop. Just by the huge difference in the music video views on youtube and the amount of world scale concerts that they're holding, kpop wins hands down.
I'm more of a Jpop/anime guy at the moment (mega into supercell), so I want Jpop to do well. However, that does NOT mean i'm going to downplay how big kpop really is like what that shiratori idiot is doing. I'm just telling it like it is. The hallyu wave has been HUGE over the past few years, and blind anime otakus like him either don't realize just how big it's gotten or is just pissed off that kpop is getting more attention.

Well Arirang TV has their own Youtube channel, and yes programs like Simply K-pop, Pop in Seoul, Showbiz Korea, and After School club episodes are on Youtube for me to watch. It's J-pop I'm concern about, J-pop label company are not putting any effort to promote J-pop worldwide. NHK World only has J-Melo, the only way to watch J-pop or any J-music, but that's not enough to expose J-pop outside of Asia. Japan can do more, if NHK World can have similar J-pop programs to Arirang TV's K-pop programs, it could help J-pop. Also as I said, Itunes don't have any top J-pop artists albums which is not good and spell doom for J-pop outside of Japan/Asia if they want to expand internationally. Japan needs to use it's soft power to promote J-pop outside of Asia if they want J-pop to replicate the same success outside of Asia like K-pop did. I do think J-pop can get a similar break-out like K-pop if Japan can follow the same method Korea did for K-pop and carefully too.
A lot of J-pop fans (that includes me) have criticized Japan and the J-pop labels for not learning anything from the K-pop explosion. Just like you said, J-pop fans are getting jealous, I would be jealous too, but that's Japan's fault for not taking the K-pop explosion seriously. J-dramas is not even being exported to western countries in huge numbers, I can only find a few J-dramas on Crunchyroll (and 2 J-dramas on Dramafever) whereas there's over 100+ K-dramas available for me to watch. This is why Japan has lost it's cultural superpower, that title is now belong to South Korea all because of K-drama and K-pop. If Japan want to win that back, they have to export large number of J-drama and export and promote J-pop the same way South Korea did for K-pop and K-drama. Japan need to cure it's Galapago syndrome, otherwise we'll never see a maid cafe outside of Japan in the future. Also EXILE and AKB48 will be forgotten and only remembered by anime fans while Super Junior and Girls Generation will be remembered in music history and by the mainstream worldwide. I already mention that MTV is going to bring back MTV K this summer so that indicates K-pop is getting more popular in the US.

^ Dude, this is exactly what I was talking about on the thread about Saint Seiya. This is a news article about a Maid Cafe. Why do you need to come in with your preaching about K-Pop's popularity that we all know already? And then on that one about CR in Spain you come around to speak about Korean dramas that are surely not even considered in the license agreement (the article is very clear about what is getting licensed). Heck, at least 50% of your most recent posts have all been about K-Pop, of which only 2 or 3 were on K-Pop or Korea related threads.
Seriously, we get it. You love K-Pop, and you think it's the shit. Can you please keep your K-Pop TL;DR walls of text in Korea-stuff-related news and threads? Next thing we know you'll be on the Preview Guide thread telling us why K-Pop is so popular and none of this anime are going to sell as much as K-Pop sells.

Dude, calm down it's called an opinion. I'm just stating my opinion. Why does it matter if I bring up K-pop and Korean pop culture, I don't see the mod or any other people making a big deal out of it. Korean pop get talk about on ANN too.

Because being off-topic is against ANN-rules? And, to quote the topmost stickied thread on this forum
I'm not telling you to stop talking about K-stuff. Do it on threads that are about K-stuff -like the one you have on the Music forum. Not on threads about Saint Seiya, Maid cafes or Spanish Crunchyroll, where K-stuff is absolutely not related to the matter at hand. Like, what's the point on coming to this thread just to say "but it's never going to be successful because it's not Korean-themed". You're sounding like RyanSaotome preaching on the Swimming Anime thread about "oh, but it's never going to be as successful as Monogatari or Madoka"

All right, I'll tone down on the K-pop thing (I'm getting a bit off-topic but then again I'm right about maid cafe is not going to last long in the US). But I'll say this:
This isn't the right time to set up a maid cafe in the US. Previous attempt to open up maid cafe have failed in the end. How can one opened up a maid cafe outside of Japan and last for long: Japan will need to have a Japanese Wave in order for maid cafe outside of Japan to last this long.
CrowLia, I'll gladly talk to you via private message more on why maid cafe wouldn't make sense at this time, but why a K-pop theme cafe would work better instead. Is that good enough, I'll stop talking about K-pop on this thread but I want to discuss it via private message with you?

Much ado in New York over the fact that on Monday, while on his "Yeezus" tour, Kanye West (left, at the Diesel Black Gold show in September with Diesel CEO Renzo Rosso) gave an interview on radio station 92.3 NOW suggesting his fans not buy any Louis Vuitton products from now until January. Apparently, he is upset that the brand's CEO did not want to meet him in Paris, and he wants the brand to feel his pain where it hurts.
Here's his quote: "I wanted to meet with the head of Louis Vuitton in Paris. He said 'I don't understand why we need to meet with you.' I said, let me explain to you why you need to meet with me – or [to] the head of Gucci – let me explain why you need to meet with me. Everybody in New York City right now, don't buy any Louis Vuitton until after January. Now do you want to meet with me? Now do you want to meet with me? Influence. They think that I don't realise my power."
It's an interesting move for a man who two years ago tried to start his own fashion brand with two mega shows during Paris Fashion Week (which were, admittedly, not entirely successful).
A man who said, in that 92.3 interview: "I will be the first artist to break through to make longstanding product." And a man who actually designed a product – a running shoe – with Vuitton back in 2009. A man who recently collaborated with another French brand, A.P.C. Guess he's decided since all of the above didn't equate to his products being embraced, he should try another strategy: if you can't join 'em – attack 'em!
Not convinced that's the right approach, but hey. That's just me.
(And a final note: in much of the coverage of the above hoo-ha, the "Louis Vuitton head" West refers to is widely cited as Yves Carcelle. Actually, Yves Carcelle, the long-time CEO of Vuitton, retired as CEO in September 2011 – he's now president of the Foundation Louis Vuitton. Michael Burke took over last December. And that was a year after Jordi Constans had been CEO, before he had to retire for health reasons. Presumably West tried to contact Mr Burke, not Mr Carcelle, but it's hard to know; he didn't say.)

A higher voter turnout favors Democratic candidates in most states because they
tend to outnumber Republicans. That's also the principle behind voter ID
measures that have a net effect of reducing votes, especially from non-GOP
voting groups. That's why the measures are 100% Republican sponsored, NOT
because there's some new threat of voter fraud.
There's no question that the president's message for Wisconsin was set well in advance. BTW, who, among our forty plus presidents is regarded as the greatest debater? Actually, you're right. It doesn't matter.

Hydrex removed the stern thruster of a 69-meter offshore supply vessel and installed a new unit during the vessel's stop in Limbee, Cameroon. By carrying out both parts of the operation underwater the ship could continue its commercial activities and did not have to go to drydock.
The removal and reinstallation took place in September, but earlier a Hydrex diver/technician team performed a full underwater inspection of the stern thruster unit. This was done during a previous stop in Cameroon. The inspection revealed that the thruster was damaged too severely for an on-site repair and needed to be replaced with a new one.
The inspection allowed the Hydrex technical department to prepare every step in detail to make sure that the team could carry out both the removal of the old stern thruster unit and the installation of the new unit during a single operation.
When the vessel was sailing towards Limbee again at the end of August, a team mobilized to the ship's destination together with all the necessary equipment. They set up a monitoring station next to the berthed ship.
One by one the diver/technicians then detached the blades and replaced them with blind flanges to prevent oil from leaking from the thruster. In the meantime, initial preparations were made in the stern thruster engine room for the removal of the unit so that there would be no ingress of water once the unit was taken out.
The team then disconnected the stern thruster from the thruster room and carefully lowered it in the tunnel. The divers extracted it from the tunnel and brought it to the surface. Simultaneously the team installed a blind flange to seal off the thruster tunnel from the engine room.
For ease of handling, the new stern thruster unit was put on a cradle. The divers then lowered it into the water and brought it inside the tunnel.
Next the diver/technicians sealed off the thruster tunnel with the Hydrex flexible mobdocks and emptied all water from it. This created a dry working environment in which they could complete the reinstallation of the stern thruster unit in the best possible conditions. They repositioned the gearbox using chain blocks and secured it with bolts. The thruster propeller blades were then reinstalled one by one and the thruster unit was reconnected to the engine room.

Trade Deadline: Pirates P Kevin Correia on block following Wandy Rodriguez acquisition
|07.27.12 at 10:48 am ET
With the acquisition of Wandy Rodriguez on Tuesday, the Pirates have an extra starting pitcher at their disposal and have been fielding offers for starter Kevin Correia, according to ESPN.com baseball writer Jerry Crasnick.
Correia, who has won his last six decisions, is 8-6 with a 4.24 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 19 starts this season. The former Giants and Padres pitcher has been moved to the bullpen following the acquisition of Rodriguez, something he said he is not happy about.
"Starting pitching is what I want to do," Correia told Rob Biertempfe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I think that's best how I help the team."
With only $1 million remaining on his contract, the 31-year-old could be an intriguing starting pitcher option for a playoff-contending team looking to bolster its rotation down the stretch.
Correia, who is from San Luis Obispo, Calif., which is midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, could be an option for a team such as the Angels as an acquisition before Tuesday's non-waiver deadline.

If you offer a white paper on "Salesforce.com Success Tips" you'll attract users of Salesforce.com.

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce.com Will Leave Marketing Automation Alone. But Revenue Performance Management Might Be Another Story.

I spent most of this week at Salesforce.com 's Dreamforce conference.

Salesforce.com and Oracle Buy Social Marketing Systems: Not the End of Marketing As We Know It
Customer Experience Matrix
Salesforce.com yesterday announced agreement to buy social media publishing vendor Buddy Media for $689 million, thereby adding another big fluffy piece to its "marketing cloud". Just for symmetry, it's worth pointing out that Salesforce.com acquired its own social monitoring system, Radian6 , in March 2011. Salesforce.com is another story. But Salesforce.com could close those gaps by gradually extending its existing products. This might actually be easier than acquiring a separate marketing automation system and shoe horning it into other Salesforce.com components.

Mother-in-law from hell sends harsh lesson in manners to 'uncouth' bride-to-be in email which becomes worldwide sensation
- Carolyn Bourne told Heidi Withers she was 'an ideal candidate for Ladette to Lady television series'
- She tells bride-to-be she needs 'guidance from experts'
It can be notoriously difficult to win over the in-laws.
But Heidi Withers may have a tougher task than most after her future mother-in-law emailed her a vicious character assassination in which she attacked her for her 'staggering uncouthness and lack of grace'.
Carolyn Bourne, a renowned grower of pinks and dianthus flowers, told Miss Withers, 29, she should attend a finishing school in 'utmost haste' to get rid of her 'bad manners'.
Etiquette guide: Renowned flower arranger Carolyn Bourne, right, gave her daughter-in-law to be a stern dressing down via e-mail. She is pictured here at a plant show in Coventry with her husband Edward
She went on to describe her as 'an ideal candidate for the Ladette to Lady television series'.
The email was intended to be a private rant. But shocked Miss Withers, a PA for a London recruitment firm, sent it on to a select group of friends. Surprised and amused, the friends in turn forwarded the message on to their friends.
And by last night the email had been posted on numerous websites, with thousands writing comments about the 'mother-in-law from hell'.
Mrs Bourne, the stepmother of Miss Withers' fiancé Freddie Bourne, sent the email after the young couple had spent a weekend at her £500,000 five-bedroom detached home on the picturesque outskirts of Dawlish, Devon.
Incensed by her future daughter-in-law's behaviour, the 60-year-old wrote: 'It is high time someone explained to you about good manners. Yours are obvious by their absence and I feel sorry for you.'
'Uncouth': Heidi Withers, left, on holiday here in the U.S. with her husband-to-be Freddie, forwarded the email sent to her by Carolyn Bourne
Mrs Bourne, who is married to Freddie's 63-year-old father Edward, even said Miss Withers' behaviour had left their pet dog Bomber 'profoundly upset, depressed and anxious'.
Mrs Bourne, who runs Whetman Pinks, a sprawling plant nursery based around 30 industrial greenhouses in the grounds of her home, went on to list several examples of Miss Withers' apparent lack of manners.
She accused her of poor table manners, insulting the family in public and failing to send a hand-written card to say thank you after her stay.
And she rounded off the email with a withering attack on the nature of the couple's relationship.
'One could be accused of thinking that Heidi Withers must be patting herself on the back for having caught a most eligible young man,' she concluded. 'I pity Freddie.'
'Perfect candidate': Mrs Bourne compared her future daughter-in-law to the television programme Ladette to Lady
Mrs Bourne also criticised Miss Withers' parents for failing to save enough money for their daughter's wedding.
Miss Withers' mother Sylvia, a nurse, and father Alan live with their two Yorkshire terriers in a five-bedroom £450,000 detached cottage set in half an acre in the village of Aylton, near Ledbury in Herefordshire.
A neighbour said: 'They are such a lovely family and Heidi is a brilliant girl. They really are the salt of the earth.
'I don't know why the lad's stepmother is getting involved.'
Last night 29-year-old Freddie, who runs online bicycle shop Capital Cycles and lives in Putney, South-West London, declined to comment.
Mrs Bourne also refused to answer any questions as she attended a Horticultural Trades Association plant show at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.
Mind your manners: Carolyn Bourne, a renowned grower of pinks and dianthus, sent Heidi Withers the vicious email after her future daughter-in-law visited Mrs Bourne's Devon home
Her husband Edward said: 'We are aware of what is being said. I know it is very boring, very repetitive and very dull but we will not be making any comment and neither will my wife.'
Miss Withers and Mr Bourne are not the first to suffer acute embarrassment because of out-of-control email round robins.
A derogatory email exchange between Harry Fildes, 25, and Sebastian Marsh, 24, about Mr Marsh's ex-girlfriend spread rapidly in March after Mr Fildes accidentally sent a copy to the girl in question.
Mr Marsh was later sacked by his company, Miller Insurance.
And Holly Leam-Taylor, a graduate trainee at consultants Deloitte, quit in December 2009 after sending an email discussing attractive male staff.
It is high time someone explained to you about good manners. Yours are obvious by their absence and I feel sorry for you.
for Freddie, he has fallen in love with you and Freddie being Freddie, I
gather it is not easy to reason with him or yet encourage him to
consider how he might be able to help you. It may just be possible to
get through to you though. I do hope so.
you want to be accepted by the wider Bourne family I suggest you take
some guidance from experts with utmost haste. There are plenty of
finishing schools around.
for your own good, for Freddie's sake and for your future involvement
with the Bourne family, do something as soon as possible.
Here are a few examples of your lack of manners:
- When you are a guest in another's house, you do not declare what you will and will not eat – unless you are positively allergic to something. You do not remark that you do not have enough food. You do not start before everyone else. You do not take additional helpings without being invited to by your host.
- When a guest in another's house, you do not lie in bed until late morning in households that rise early – you fall in line with house norms.
- You should never ever insult the family you are about to join at any time and most definitely not in public. I gather you passed this off as a joke but the reaction in the pub was one of shock, not laughter.
- You should have hand-written a card to me. You have never written to thank me when you have stayed.
- You regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should ask yourself why.
- No one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash, celebrity style behaviour.
understand your parents are unable to contribute very much towards the
cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with that except that
convention is such that one might presume they would have saved over the
years for their daughters' marriages.)
If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes.

Illuminati, Israeli Mossad, and Diageo are behind "protests" in Brazil (Operation "O Gigante Acorda")
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
The Illuminati is an ancient secret society that seeks
to bring about a New World Order based on the principle that everyone has it within them to literally become God.
The ten most influential Grand Masters of the Illuminati are: King Solomon the Apostate, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Simon Magus, Hypatia, Leibniz, Weishaupt, Goethe and Hegel. If these figures are not of interest to you then it would be pointless for you to venture any further into this Facebook Page.
This is not a topic for the faint-hearted.
It contains an enormous amount of philosophical, psychological, political, historical, scientific and religious content.
If you are interested in embarking on the spiritual journey of your life then you have opened the door to a mansion of wonders. If, however, you have come in search of aliens, pan-dimensional lizards and evil Illuminists relentlessly plotting against the ordinary people of the world then you have arrived at the wrong destination!
Makow, Icke, Jones and their ilk will be more to your taste.
The aim, as it has always been, is to overthrow the network of elite, dynastic families of wealth and privilege that we refer to as the "Old World Order" who have run this world since the dawn of civilization, to their maximum advantage and to the extreme detriment of the people.
The Illuminati is a radical and indeed revolutionary organization that seeks nothing less than to assist the ordinary men and women of the human race to ascend to the next stage of humanity's divine evolution. We, The Illuminati describes this higher level as the "Community of Gods" or the "Society of the Divine."
It's time to end the reign of the false prophets, the fake gods and the tawdry idols that we call "celebrities". We're sick of the bankers and traders, the lawyers and accountants, the politicians and their "special advisers" the lobbyists and spin doctors, the agents and gatekeepers, the CEOs and chairmen, the advertisers and marketing men. We're sick of all the same faces of the "top" people and their relentless tricks and tactics to keep enriching themselves at the people's expense. We're sick of the government's "Freedumb and Dumbocracy" that cons people into voting for the rich and the apologists for the rich, and we're sick of the Abrahamic religions that keep billions of people on their knees as slaves to a tyrant masquerading as God.
You know that humanity is capable of so much more. Isn't it time to bring about real change? Isn't it time to seize your divine inheritance?
We are The Illuminati.
The messengers of the True God.
Our sacred mission is to bring humanity into full union with the True God so that there is no longer any distinction between the human race and the divine essence.
The Order is able to show how this can be achieved using Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, and quantum mechanics. It's time for humanity to open its eyes and see the divine light for the first time.
Our religion is called Illumination.
We have emerged from the shadows to cast the light of Abraxas, the True God, on this benighted world; to bring Illumination - enlightenment - to everyone.
