I totally get where your coming from. I live in a smaller town, 3000 people and I got mocked, made fun of, and was teased/harrassed because I rode my bike. It was not normal for people to see someone riding the main roads getting exercise and doing something the like. I became recognized as the guy who rode his bike all over town. People started giving me more room on the road, and would eventually ask questions about why I ride my bike everywhere, and started to get to know who I really was. They figured out I was just liked to ride my bike.
I started my journey of riding on a $5 mtb from a garage sale. My first ride was 1 mile and I was hurting afterwards. I kept at it, and the rides got longer and harder over time. What motivated me was people saying that I couldn't ride a bike. I rode the hell of that bike and I was able to eventually upgrade to bikes that I wanted.
If someone says I can't do something, I make it a point to do it. I started doing triathlons bevause some made a comment that I was to fat to do it. I do it to spite people and find that I like doing sports that I would have never got into. Find what motivates you and use iit to keep going.
I know how you feel, when I first started I was very concious but then I started meeting cyclists/triathletes of all sizes and found out everyone was conscious of something but they all talked to me and are bllody great people. Even my wife has got used to me in lycra :)
Never feel embarrassed for trying to better yourself. Will there be people that try to make fun of you because they see a fat person on a bike? Yes, but people like that will act that way towards anyone who is different from them. They are small minded and should be pitied. Just keep doing what you are doing and never mind what others think.
As far as skills, like anything they come with practice. But do not let those doubts stop you from trying new things. In the past 2 months I have done a mountain bike race and a century. On the mtb race, I am at the start with guys that obviously are very serious racers and was a little intimidated. But my main goal was just to finish and if possible do it under a certain time and not be dead last. I did all 3 (was 2nd to last :)). On the century, unfortunately I did not finish, but I did make it 76 miles (longest ride ever!) and learned a whole lot for the next one.
The best part is my kids are seeing me get out of my comfort zone to get better and get in better shape. That is the best part for me, setting a good example to them by pushing myself harder than ever, even if I fail in the first (or second, third, etc.) attempt.
One of the best pieces of advice I've been given on cycling took place on a winter hike with a couple of Bike Club of Philadelphia members. I'd ridden a bike a total of four times in my life by that point. Aside from learning the skills, I needed to overcome the squemishness about appearing in tight fitting clothing. (When I was 400 pounds I not only worse loose fitting clothing but tried to be neat in my appearance to avoid the word "slob" immediately following "fat.")
As I hiked with Barb and Rich, we discussed cycling. I think Barb sensed I had reservations about cycling clothing, and she brought the subject up. "Bike clothes look affected to many people, but everything about them is functional." We discussed some of those functions as we walked - the tightness, the bright colors..... by the end of the hike I was persuaded. And that night I was reading up on bib shorts here on Bike Forums. Soon enough I was shocking people at my gym and not caring......
I think its been said a few different ways and a few times, but the simple fact is people like that HAVE to pick on you because they know your being superior. you might be fat, I am, I was at the beginning of the year "morbidly obease"
when people of low self esteem see people trying to better themselves there is a strong desire to keep that person from accomplishing their goals, thus proving we are all the same loser failures they are. you must remember that the bottom line is they aren't putting you down they are trying to keep you down with them. Just like any hill your challenged with, remember your better than it is and you will make it to the top(sometimes you walk, sometimes you ride, but either way you made it)
you cannot forget that the human condition calls for dominance, and you are making people who are too lazy or stupid to better themselves jealous of your drive and determination. if you keep thinking of them in this light, I can smile every time knowing every rotation is me pulling away from them, fat or not I am bettering myself, what did they do today?
"I'm sorry you didn't accomplish your goals, don't take it out on me." dont say it, they aren't worth the breaths, but the fact remains this is where it stands. if you bothered to say it you would probably realize they were too stupid to understand how true it was.
You are better than them, you don't need to worry about what they think, your already winning that race. good luck and happy riding.
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
loool I dont consider a smile the same as yelling at someone, but if you want to take it to the extreme, I will say no, its realizing that the answer to the question is nothing. if it wasn't they wouldn't have put yuo in a position to judge them. I don't have a problem feeling better than someone else, and assuming its not projected outward, its not horribly unhealthy to make an unhealthy situation a growth moment.
I am better than them for not SAYING it. if the gavel is drawn for me to be judged, I have no issue at all having some opinion in the matter.. I think the alternative is to give some ******* the power of not disagreeing, which basically means you agree with them..i don't think I'm a fat looser for getting on a bike and bettering myself, do you? if you dont feel a need to correct that concept in your own mind its ok. I dont attack people for no reason, but if I am judged wrongly I have no issue having and speaking my opinions. and my opinion is someone who would yell at me for bettering myself is a low self esteem looser who is trying to not feel like they have lost their self respect by insulting a stranger to build themselves up. if I so choose to build off their attack rather than succumb to it I would consider that far healthier than pretending it does not bother me. you do for you, I do for me.
added- most states agree that hitting or killing someone in self-defense is acceptable behavior, but hitting first or murdering someone isnt. I think that if someone is attacking you verbally or physically, defending yourself in the same manner is more than acceptable as well.
Sounds like you are wearing quite a large chip on your shoulder. Sorry.
1) None of them held a gun to your head to get you to the point you are in. You did it to yourself.
2) Maybe you should take the position of thanking them for being rude and motivating you.
I'm not saying they are right. I'm not agreeing with them. And I'm certainly not agreeing with you calling them stupid out of your own embarrassment. You got yourself in this mess and you need to get yourself out. Yes, they shouldn't do it. But I'm sorry, that is just human nature. There is nothing lashing out about it that you are going to change. Sorry but that is the simple truth of the matter.
I applaud you for what you are doing. You should applaud yourself. But you need to take a step back and let that chip fall before it does more damage to you, someone we all care about.
maybe i do, maybe I don't but since you are making it personal I am going to stop helping you be a troll
lool wonderful edit.. adding all that post response. ok.. yes I got myself here, i'm fat, they are stupid. and they are... anyone in their right mind wouldn't yell profanities or names out the window, its not an intelligent act. I do not have a chip, I am quite sure of that. i am not a patient man when it comes to games of idiocy, that isn't having a chip. you want to put me in a little wedge of the reality you have thats fine, I call you a troll for it. I did lazilly eat my way to obesity, so what? I wasn't unhappy as a fat person either, one day I became unhappy when I meerly lacked the energy to keep up with my 3 y/o son. I am an intelligent and boisterous person, but that does not equate to a chip. you want me to be broken so you can "help" me be more like you, but I dont want to be like you, I want to be like me. as I said already, do for you, I do for me. me putting myself above something in my mind obviously is unsettling to you, and I would say I see you as projecting your shortcomings onto me, and I hope you can fix that some day.
-added because this bothers me alot
As far as the jerks, I am glad I am not living their lives. I have no question that I am luckier than they are. But I am human. I can still think of them as jerks.
Your response was not only unkind but just plain mean in both tone and spirit.
That said, it's open to question if we need a member with your talent to disrespect other people with such ease.
1) Don't even think about "the norm." "The norm" if for like 60% of the population to be overweight couch potatos!
2) All fast riders were slow riders once.
3) If you need to walk - walk. Especially up hills. No sense blowing your knees out. Soon you will flatten those hills and sail up them!
4) Your bike will be fine. I started 2010 at 305#'s on a road bike that i bought in 1985 - and it wasn't exactly top-of-the-line either. Went 2300 miles last year on it. Too many flats and a few broken spokes, but otherwise no problem!
I like that you posted this, because although I don't let it stop me, I still sort of feel funny when dressed in cycling stuff - and I've lost over 40 #'s! Seeing all the responses reminds me that I'm being foolish!
If you are really worried about the tight clothing go with something like this:
I ordered lots of stuff from this company. It is quality gear at a decent price.
Wow what a read this thread has been! I feel each and every post here in what all are saying. Also some very good points said to think on.
Only time I have rode my bike is in the mornings while most people are at work and ride back roads so very few will see me. And in the afternoon and evenings, my bike stays in the garage. Many nice evenings I would have loved to get out and enjoy the evening biking. But we have neighbors cross the street from me with kids. I remember when I was a kid how kids can laugh and make jokes at people. I haven't been able to make myself ride down the driveway yet when they are home.
BTW, I got yelled at by kids on a school bus in Hamburg on Thursday during my ride. All I could think of is what bad parents they must have.
I used to be similar to you, WJordan. I would sit and worry about what other people would think if I were to partake in a particular event, or try something out of the ordinary. So I would end up doing all the same things that all the other boring sheep would do so as to appear normal, or ordinary. Or I would stay at home or within the confines of the company of close friends.
It didn't happen overnight, but there were things that I wanted to do, and holding myself back was eating away at me. Over a matter of a few years I slowly managed to stop caring about what other people think. Essentially, an attitude of "I'm going to go and do this, if you're interested then come along. If you're not, don't. I'm going regardless".
Life is so much better. The thing you realise is that nothing in your life really changes. You keep the same friends, you do all the same things in addition to the new things, but the stress is lifted. You don't realise how heavy the weight of that stress is until it is gone.
Wjordan, for the sake of your sanity and quality of life, I would highly recommend developing a similar attitude! And knowing that you love your bike, that is the exact place I would start. The next time you see your neighbours out there watering their lawn or something, just jump on the bike, ride out of your place, give them a wave and have some fun!
Sorry about the long rant. I had written a couple more paragraphs but after reading them I realised I had started to go off topic. I'll bring up further points if the need arises. I believe what I have said above is very important to each and every persons quality of life.
I was right around 298 when I started riding again I now weight 265 or so. I still feel alot like how you feel specially when the roadies blow past me on the bike lanes. I am cruising right around 16-17 mph when I started i could barely hold 9 mph it is my motivation to keep losing the fat suit and eventually be a success story and ride as fast as they do it is my inspiration. Ride and ride the weight will come off and you will get faster with experience..
Good luck
Thanks!!!! Each of you are right, and I really do deep down know all that's been said is right. Don't know what else to say, I will work hard at it. I won't let it beat me. I can't let it beat me. I need the exercise real bad that my bike can give me.
Update: What a waste 1 1/2 months has been that I could have been riding when I wanted too. :(
I gave in, scared as I was, I made myself ride my bike out of the garage and down the driveway, hit the street and rolled on down the road. Neighbors kids were out side and their mother. Guess what I got....
"Hey, cool bike" :)
Oh man... I wanted to drop my bottom lip and run over it. To think it went so good. But guess I really should have known. The parents are our friends and their kids are pretty good kids with good raising as their parents stay on track of what their kids do, unlike many parents today don't. Thanks guys! I maybe wouldn't have ever done it if not for this thread.
One more step forward!!
Great for you. You'll find more of those moments as you continue along this path. Like the first time you wear bike shorts. All it takes is just enough gumption to get you over those bumps, and they recede to nothing in your rearview mirror pretty quickly.

Here are the lessons they imparted:
- Faith in the mission. Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes pursued their college studies elsewhere while trying to enter the University of Georgia. They easily could have given up, but they didn't. Business lesson: Believe in what you do.
- Self-confidence. Throughout their ordeal, Hunter-Gault and Holmes conveyed that leading the push for integration was their role, their responsibility, their privilege, and that they were able to handle it. Business lesson: Know your stuff.
- Faith in your team. Hunter-Gault recounts how scrupulously her legal team prepared its case. For months, they traveled every day from Atlanta to Athens, searching the university's records and finding evidence that officials had lied about why Hunter-Gault and Holmes were not admitted. Business lesson: Don't let the grinding detail work stop you.
- A thought for others. Hunter-Gault lost her composure only twice: once when she and Holmes were suspended "for their own safety" during a riot, and later that night, when Holmes wanted to drive his own car home and Hunter-Gault feared for his life. Trying to be "persuasive," she shook him frantically by the shoulders and screamed that he had to ride with her in the patrol car. Embarrassed, he gave in. Business lesson: Show that you care about your team.
- Fearlessness. At various junctures, students burned crosses, hung Holmes in effigy, flew the Confederate flag at half-mast, and hurled epithets, bricks and bottles. After the riot, Hunter-Gault was asked if she would go back to campus. She said she would, "whatever it entails." Business lesson: Just do it.

The doll is also marked on the back of her neck, Jo-Jo 1937 Horsman. This doll is in need of a dolly doctor, because she has lots of crazing, chipping and peeling of her composition paint. T are no broken limbs, fingers though -- she just needs some skin treatments after 72 years. She is wearing a mommy made outfit that looks like it is as old as she is, with a little smocked floral dress and matching bonnet. Jo-Jo is from a nonsmoking home.

Guys:The colo facility that houses hedges is doing some facilities work next week, and will need to shut down the unit for several hours. I don't have the date/time schedule yet.
I no longer have root on hedges, due to a power supply failure on my workstation, and a non-backed-up SSH key. :(
I'll post the date/time here when I know it. Could someone set up a crontab to shut the machine down, with warning, at that time?
Thanks! b.g. -- Bill Gatliff email@example.com

New factory in Milford feeds hungry children world wide
A new factory has relocated to a strip mall in Milford, but its product is a little unexpected.
Kids Against Hunger is a private non-profit organization started by former pastor Larry Bergeron to provide nutritious food for starving and undernourished children locally, regionally and internationally.
Kids Against Hunger packages individual meals for shipment all over the world. The supplies are delivered to contacts Bergeron has made at local and regional food banks and in countries in Central America, Africa, and the Caribbean. About 40 percent of Bergeron's contacts are in the United States, but 90 percent of the meals made go overseas. Bergeron ensures the contacts distribute the nutritious food properly.
"We're so excited to be here and we're looking forward to being here for many years," Bergeron said.
Nearly 200 volunteers come to the factory every other Saturday to measure and place rice, six vegetables, a highly fortified soy base, and 21 vitamins and minerals into individual vacuum sealed packages which are boxed up and organized for distribution. The volunteers can package between 60,000 and 80,000 meals in a two hour shift. Marketing and development director Bob Mayer said volunteering at the factory is often a family affair with volunteers ranging from three to 83. Over the last two years Kids Against Hunger has packaged and shipped 3.5 million meals to hungry children.
"I don't know of anything more nutritious and economical," Bergeron said of the meals. "We are the largest consumer of rice from Costco in the area. We've used 100 tons since January."
In two hours a single volunteer can package enough food to feed one child for a year, at a cost of $10 a month.
Connie Watkins, a volunteer from Milford, was working in the factory for the second time Saturday, Sept. 18. She was serving as a team leader and she was very excited about the program.
"I love it because it's local, it's a great time, and it's cost effective," Watkins said.
Mayer said community organizations from around the Greater Cincinnati area often come together to volunteer and families will reserve the factory for birthday parties and reunions in the factory.
Bergeron said he was formerly a pastor in Mason and as he volunteered to serve foster children and hungry children around the world he began to see a desperate need.
"I worked with children as a church pastor but I decided that there is so much need that it would be better to focus on the problem full-time," Bergeron said.
He said there are 143 million orphans world wide and about 12,000 are adopted annually. The statistics that keeps organizations like Bergeron's working hard is that 30,000 children world wide die of starvation each day.
Kids Against Hunger does not accept funding from any branch of government and Bergeron works hard to maintain efficiency. The result is 93 cents of every dollar donated to Kids Against Hunger goes directly to the children. The meals supply enough nutrition to feed six children at a cost of 25 cents each.
Kids Against Hunger is the fifth largest satellite organization of A Child's Hope International. The recipe used in the meals was perfected by founder Richard Proudfit of New Hope, Minnesota and developed by food scientists from Cargill, Pillsbury, General Mills, and Archer Daniels Midland.
Mayer said that while the seasonings in the package are mild, they are often supplemented with local spices and sometimes meats when they are prepared.
The 39,000 square foot factory is located just off of state Route 28 behind the Dunkin Donuts. Volunteers can attend a half-hour training session and assemble meals for two hours every other Saturday, however some schedule changes occur and a complete schedule can be found at www.hungernomore.us. Or call the factory at (513) 248-4005. Monetary donations for purchase of supplies and shipping costs are also accepted.
In addition to providing food, A Child's Hope International also serves children through orphan care, foster care, adoption, and humanitarian relief.

The company's latest findings show that Trina Solar (Trina) is a close competitor of Yingli's. Having produced just 400 Megawatts less than Yingli in 2013, Trina has taken its place as the second leading company in GlobalData's ranking. Sameer Joshi, Director of Research and Analysis for Power and Alternative Energy at GlobalData, says: "The recovery of solar photovoltaic demand in 2013 benefited the supply side of the market significantly. As a result, crystalline module production grew from 30 Gigawatts (GW) in 2012 to 33 GW in 2013, representing an impressive annual growth rate of 10.4%. "Meanwhile, global module prices also recovered and stabilized at $0.75 per Watt at the end of 2013, and the leading manufacturers were able to attain positive gross margins for the same year. However, the majority of these manufacturers still have a lot of work to do in terms of cost restructuring and improving overall operational efficiency, in order to reach positive earnings before income and tax levels." Sharp gained entry into the top five crystalline module manufacturers in 2013 with a leap to third position from sixth in 2012. The strategic moves of Sharp and Trina displaced Canadian Solar as the second-ranking company in 2012 to fourth place in 2013, making it the only company in GlobalData's top five to have dropped from its 2012 position. After being held by JA Solar in 2012, fifth place was then captured by JinkoSolar, which jumped up from eighth position in 2012 and supplanted JA Solar, according to GlobalData.

Bollywood star Anil Kapoor's latest achievement is his inclusion in the Hollywood flick, Mission Impossible IV. It is no doubt a big achievement as he will now feature in this Tom Cruise starrer espionage series.
Looks like Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire has opened the doors to Hollywood for the 50- year-old Bollywood star. He got the honor of being part of this Oscar winning film and also bagged a role in the US television show '24'. It is an honor for Anil Kapoor to be a part of a film Mission Impossible IV, which stars Renner, Paula Patton, Simon Pegg, Vladimir Mashkov and Ving Rhames, apart from Tom Cruise.
There will be another new addition in the form of Lea Sedoux in this movie to be helmed by Brad Bird. However, the Bollywood actor preferred to maintain silence on his role in the film. Kapoor was quoted saying that as of now, he can only say that he has been offered the film and he has given a positive nod for it.
A friend of Anil was quoted saying that he will play an integral part in the Agent Hunt of Cruise. The addition of his character will add to the suspense of the story and it will be a major turning point. Anil got this role for his wonderful performance in the television series '24'. There is a report that the first schedule of the shooting has already been done with Cruise in Prague last month. Later this month, the movie is likely to shoot in Dubai. Kapoor will be joining the cast in this December when the unit will move to Vancouver.
Mission Impossible IV is scheduled to hits the big screen on December 16, 2011.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--Sometimes in the electronics industry, the best questions are at once the simplest and scariest. Consider the one raised in a DVCon 2014 panel (Richard Goering blogged in detail here): Have we created the verification gap?
I invited Cadence Senior Architect JL Gray and ChipDesign Magazine Editor John Blyler to join me at our DVCon video studio to frame the question. After all, Gray conceived the panel and Blyler moderated.
Gray decided to take things up a notch by proposing additional--and unsettling--questions:

The company is shooting for the smartphone market to begin with but claims it has the beating of CMOS image sensors in terms of many specifications and therefore in most of if not all applications.
InVisage Technologies Inc. (Menlo Park, Calif.), was founded in 2006 to develop a light-sensitive material to replace silicon. On Nov. 11 in Beijing, the company launched the world's first electronic image sensor that uses quantum-dot material rather than silicon to capture light.
If quantum-dot based light sensing is superior to that of silicon photodiodes – to the degree that InVisage claims – this could represent the beginning of the end for CMOS image sensors which have built up a considerable market on the strength of camera sales into mobile phones. InVisage claims that its Quantum13 sensor will drive "silicon image sensors into obsolescence."
At a launch event in Beijing the company demonstrated the 'Quantum13' sensor designed into prototype smartphones. Although InVisage declined to name the smartphone firms involved, Jess Lee, company CEO, told eeNews Europe that the Quantum13 is sampling now and multiple customers are due to receive commercial volume supply in 4Q15.
The quantum-dot material is a II-VI metal-chalcogenide type broadband light absorber, Lee said. And with the quantum confinement produced by using nanoscale particles of the material bound together in an optically transparent carrier material, it becomes a highly efficient photodiode and allows thinner films than the active depth in conventional silicon photodiodes. Only about 0.5-micron depth of QuantumFilm is required compared with 2 or 3 microns depth of silicon photodiode, Lee said.
As a result the Quantum13 embodies a number of advantages over silicon. The 13Mpixel 1.1-micron pixel fits in 8.5mm by 8.5mm module. Light absorption takes place eight times faster than in silicon allowing for the use of a global electronic shutter. Using 0.5-micron thin films – rather than the high aspect ratio wells used for silicon photodiodes – allows much higher incident angles of light, resulting in 4mm camera height module. And thinner camera module allows for thinner smartphone designs.

Hofstra University announced on Friday that head basketball coach Mo Cassara would not be returning after a 7-25 season that saw five Pride players get arrested.
On Dec. 1 four players, Jimmy Hall, Dallas Anglin, Kentrell Washington and Shaquille Stokes, were charged with stealing and reselling over $20,000 worth of Apple electronics from dorms of fellow Hofstra students.
UConn transfer Jamal Coombs-McDaniel was arrested earlier this month for driving without a seatbelt and police subsequently found six marijuana cigarettes in his car. It was the second drug-related arrest for the former Huskie, who was busted for drug possession during his time with UConn.
"Unfortunately, myself and my staff have to ultimately be held accountable by some decisions made by individuals we thought were going to make better decisions than they did," Cassara told The Post.
Cassara said that he was informed of the school's decision Thursday night.
"Obviously, I felt we were headed in a positive direction and I was excited about the future, really, really optimistic and the character talent or our incoming recruiting class," Cassara said. … "Nobody felt worse or slept worse or felt anguish more than me — nobody. The decision they made is something I have to respect. I'm very, very thankful and proud of my time here at Hofstra."
Cassara took over the program in 2010-11 and compiled a 38-59 record in his three seasons as the head coach. After finishing 21-12 in his first season, including a berth in the CBI tournament, Cassara was just 17-47 over the past two seasons.
"We are very thankful to Mo Cassara for his hard work and dedication to the Hofstra Basketball program over the last three years," Hofstra Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway said. "Mo is a tireless worker and has tremendous passion for the game and the students that he coached. I personally want to thank him for his commitment to Hofstra Athletics and the University community during his tenure. We wish him the very best."
The school has named assistant coach Patrick Sellers the interim head coach but the school will immediately begin a search for a new coach.

Chiropractic Under the African Sun: WFC Biennial Congress
From April 8-13, 2013, the Chiropractic Association of South Africa (CASA) hosted the World Federation of Chiropractic's 12th Biennial Congress, titled "Chiropractic Under the African Sun,"at the International Convention Center in Durban, South Africa.
More than 750 delegates from 42 countries attended the congress, the largest and most impressive meeting ever held in Africa. Many rated it "the best ever" chiropractic event in their lives.
"This was a wonderful Congress in very, very many respects", said Dr. Bill Meeker, president, West Campus Palmer College, which was one of the major sponsors together with Neuromechanical Innovations and Foot Levelers.
Beyond outstanding academic and social programs there were many special celebrations and events since this was the Silver Anniversary of the WFC, formed 25 years ago in 1988. These included:
One important goal of holding this WFC Congress in Africa was formation of a regional organization to represent and advance the chiropractic profession in Africa, the only world region without such a regional organization. That was achieved with the formation of the African Chiropractic Federation (ACF) at the WFC Assembly by chiropractic delegates from 13 nations – Botswana, Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
The first ACF seminar meeting is to be held in Nairobi, Kenya from April 3-5, 2014, hosted by the Chiropractic Association of Kenya.
"Our Silver Anniversary Congress was such a success because of many partners and individuals," said WFC President Dr. Dennis Richards, "but none more so that the members of the CASA Local Planning Committee, led by Dr. Caileen Walker and Dr. Reg Engelbrecht. The WFC and everyone who attended this historic meeting are greatly indebted to them."
Special thanks are also due to many exhibitors and sponsors, led by Platinum Sponsor Neuromechanical Innovations (Dr. Christopher Colloca, president). Many donated prizes to a fund-raising raffle, which raised over $5,000 to support the inspirational work of Sister Brigitte Yengo, DC, MD, at her orphanage in Brazzaville, the Congo.
The next WFC Congress will be held in Athens, Greece, from May 14-16, 2015, together with the annual convention of the ECU and hosted by the Hellenic Chiropractic Association. WFC member associations in the Asia and Pacific regions are being invited to bid to host the 2017 Congress.

More Japanese gore madness arrives from 4Digital Asia in the shapely form of "Samurai Princess", the cover art not coincidently bearing a striking resemblance to that of its recent sister in slaughter, "Chanbara Beauty". The film's pedigree should certainly give fans of the form reason to be excited, with it having been directed by Kengo Kaji, the co-writer of "Tokyo Gore Police", and featuring effects by Yoshihiro Mishimura, the director of said genre highpoint. Also likely to be of no small enticement is the presence of AV actress Aino Kishi in the lead role, with support from fellow AV star Mihiro (recently in the horror "The Cruel Restaurant").
The film's plot is essentially nonsense, with Aino Kishi playing neither a samurai nor a princess, but an android killing machine stitched together from the parts of eleven young girls who were raped and killed by a particularly nasty gang of miscreants. Brought back to life by a mad scientist, she sets off on the usual revenge spree, slicing and dicing her way through hordes of strangely clad enemies and bizarre villains.
Given its director and the involvement of Yoshihiro Mishimura, most viewers should know well in advance whether or not "Samurai Princess" is likely to be a film for them. For those who don't, or for the curious, the first 5 minutes of the film will make things abundantly clear one way or the other, featuring such delightful scenes as the heroine removing a man's brain to quite literally read his mind and her detaching her breasts to hurl at her enemies. Certainly, the film is bloody even by the standards of the genre, packing in an impressive amount of dismemberment, evisceration, mutilation and shots of characters being torn apart by freakish villains with weapons for body parts.
However, as with many of its peers, the violence is incredibly cartoonish, and hard to take seriously, and although the effects are imaginative and well-handled, they are about as convincing as those in one of Herschell Gordon Lewis' gore opuses. Of course, this is by no means a bad thing, and the film is a great deal of fun, and although it doesn't quite scale the giddy heights of "Tokyo Gore Police", still the form's best example, it displays a winning sense of demented creativity and an entertainingly grotesque predilection for the misuse of limbs and internal organs. If anything, the lack of real sadism is to the film's benefit, making for guilt free enjoyment and a number of genuinely jaw droppingly amusing moments.
The film does suffer from many of the pitfalls common to the genre, mainly in that it looks rather amateurish and cheap. Although Kaji has obviously put some effort into the film's mythology, its crazy half-defined future setting and the characters' back stories, it all kind of gets lost thanks to the low budget, which aside from the effects didn't seem cover more than people in outlandish costumes wandering around the woods. His direction is wild and unfocused rather than kinetic, though generally enthusiastic enough to inject a certain energy into the proceedings, especially during the insane fight scenes.
Unsurprisingly, the acting is mostly poor, with most of the cast attempting to get by with wide eyed stares, odd face pulling and mock hysterical laughter. Still, Aino Kishi is fine in the lead role, managing a pleasing mixture of cuteness and psychotic violence likely to endear herself to male viewers – not least since the film does feature a few flashes of female nudity, as well as a reasonably graphic and excellently gratuitous sex scene halfway through. However, to call the film erotic horror would seriously be pushing it, as it for the most part Kaji avoids the kind of perversion and twisted sex seen in some of its peers.
All of these are minor criticisms, with the gore factor and general insanity being the main draws, and for fans of the form "Samurai Princess" certainly more than delivers. Definitely one of the better and livelier examples of Japanese extreme cinema, it offers cheerfully sick entertainment for those with strong stomachs and a fondness for low budget wackiness.
