Why is everyone so "creeped out" by the Tora Tora thing? confuse

I can understand annoyed, but what's so creepy about it? I kind of like it. It's sexy to me, especially finding out that some of those pics are Mayte. I love that! And looking closer (besides the boots) you can tell by the body language, the shoulders and waist that it's not him. But I think she did a great job imitating his body language. Too thexy!

no it was an embarassing interview...according to other orgers, i wasnt as fortunate 2 see it yet
lol


An embarassing interview - and yet memorable, we're still talking about it today, and that's what promotion is all about.

Oh, and no one has mentioned that 'Tora Tora' was a Japanese war cry - so by using this as a name, Prince was implying a war with Warners.



Thank U. I knew that Tora Tora was the name of a movie about WWII, but I didn't know it was a battle Cry. I was trying to make a correlation, and this just cleared it up for me. I had been wonder this for years!

I met Tora Tora!
In 1995 The NPG did a record signing at The Virgin Megastore, Oxford St in London to promote the Exodus CD.
Whole band was there and Prince was dressed up as Tora Tora wearing a scarf over his face. Got to shake hands with everyone and got the inlay of the CD signed by everyone. Prince signed his picture in gold ink as Tora Tora!

Doesn't it kinda suck to finally get to meet your idol only to find out that it's not really him, but a mere alter-ego?
