And just what on earth is an "Indecent fliers collecting box?"

Loved the translation so much that I had to take a photo. This is a colection box located in Roppingi dedicated to collecting something called Pink Chirashi. Pink Chirashi refers to saucy call girl leaflets that are occasionally handed out but mostly left in phone booths or in peoples letter boxes.
Never seen these boxes in Japan anywhere before so presume that Roppongi has a high level of hanky panky going on?

After fliers are submitted to this box, the police then go chasing the people distributing them.

On my first trip to Japan, I would see these "indecent" pink chirashi cards stuck in phone booths - they usually had cute 2D characters on them (like this) so I collected them ^^;

Heck, the closest thing to fliers are those about property prices and other whanots and doodads and whasits and walalalas. Cute 2D fliers? Not a chance.

LoL!

for me our country is home for plenty of "indecent fliers" ... every corner you go you see one waving and even forcing you to get one ... they often leave you cornered because they patrol in mall entrances and escalators XD

It'd be awesome if there were leaflets with 2D girls printed on them, but alas, the only experience I had was when someone handed me a couple of discount coupons for a chain of sort-of love hotels. Boy they were funny.

While living in Japan, I frequently got such little fliers in my mailbox. While most were harmless enough, there was one that disturbed me, as they used a photo of Matsuura Aya (who was only barely 16 at the time) for their "services".

in china, things are much different, directly distributing of p0rn stuff is strictly banned. man can get jailed for life by setup a adult website to make profit, see 
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-11/22/content_740360.htm
the pink ???? leaflets is not frequently seen in china, but we can find a kind recruiting poster, they list some very attractive salary package and implies it's a sex business, but in fact it was reported a kind of scam.

Some certain kinds of fliers are everywhere almost every city of china. Most of them are ads of fake diploma, id, passport, stamp..things are illegal but not strictly fined. they are often sticky in the back so it's easy for a homeless or a lad from some rural place to spread it everywhere on the street..really a tough problem for the municipal authorities to solve, because its hard to trace the source and the cost of getting them punished is rather high. so most of the time, the city cleaner and the flier man are keep playing cat and mouse game.

No way man. Only a madman/woman would wanna distribute indecent fliers here in Singapore. Same like most of the posters here, I do get alot of pretty useless property fliers form time to time though. Its always straight to the rubbish bin without a second thought for those.

You barely see any indecent fliers around canada. It is strictly regulated and is not allowed. The penalties are not extreme like some other countries but reasonable.

Once in a while if you might get one for a gentleman's club, but never for a prostitute.  There are advertisements in the entertainment papers for massage and escort services, as well as the personal ads.

The most I've ever seen of these is in online advertisements. Maybe it is because the police crack down pretty hard in places with high levels of prostitution.

I've never seen anything like this on a flyer in London, but there are tons of these ads in magazines and newspapers, mostly in the back pages. I even saw a few of these in an old Playstation MAX mag (a Playstation magazine aimed at the younger gamers,   the ones around 8 - 15 years old) which was very disturbing.

Here in Brazil we have lots of fliers... but "indecent" ones are kinda rare.
Mainly because it'd be too expensive to make color fliers... :P

What we do have here is public phones with small stickers with a phone number, and some suggestive small text under it. Some are downright funny... like: "Hairy and fatty. Gimme a call."

And stuff like that.

You have to have a permit to hand out fliers of any kind, if you're caught handing them out or putting them on car windows under the windshield wiper it's like a $1500 fine I believe.

Lots'of fliers are handed out here, but mostly for new products, subscriptions on certain things (like newspapers) or just plain commercial stuff. We also have Boomerang fliers (fliers with funny pictures on it and/or funny notes/slogans, etc.) which you can grab in cinemas, sport schools and even on my college. ^^

Even some porn ones with nudity ON the flier.

But nobody cares. Just in the trash it goes. I doubt even kids really care one way or another.

In certain areas of the city it is not uncommon to receive a flyer or a bussiness card for "adult shops" and "entertainment", but it's kept rather subdued.
