A “rocktail” with $15,000 worth of “hot ice”

Shh… government secret printed on roadsign

North Korea and their two biggest undisclosed targets (Japan and us) are on the cusp of negotiations (or rather they disobey and watch us sweat) yet again. Did our leader really believe their disarmament promises? Silly George. Silly Abe san.

Well, here’s a silly roadsign to ease the tension of potential nuclear war. [...]

Get whipped (literally and figuratively) in “Women’s Town”, China

Tourism official Li Jigang is hoping to secure funding for a very unique tourist trap. “Women’s Town” will exist in an 2.3 km² (0.9 mi²) area presently known for it’s heavy truck manufacturing, a far cry from femininity. In the Shuangqiao district in Chongqing China, the tiny village’s mantra will decree “women [...]

Toilet Trivia

Toilets filled with water aren’t usually the first thing you’d think would catch on fire. Earlier this month, some bidets in Japan defied common knowledge and their manufacturer Toto is in the “hot seat” so to speak. Sorry I just couldn’t resist. “The fire would have been just under your buttocks,” said [...]

The untold Easter story starring Satan

So you thought Easter was about celebrating Jesus’ resurrection with chocolate eggs, marshmallow bunnies and glazed ham, eh? Well, I’m here to inform you of the true origin of Easter.
I always knew that Easter was based on a Pagan custom, but I wanted to learn more. Curiosity led me to [...]

America’s Next Top Model 2007 and Tyra Banks at the Beach

Get out your scorecards because in two days, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 8 is on! The international destination this season is Australia, which is fitting since Australia’s Next Top Model premieres on VH1 next week. Looks like there’s only one token edgy girl (Jael, back row far left) and as always, a [...]

Inland Empire — movie review

Going into David Lynch’s Inland Empire I found myself somewhat apprehensive. You see, for the longest time I’ve been a David Lynch fan, but in recent years his films have been left to languish on our DVD shelves. It’s not that they’re uninteresting. It’s just that they don’t muster the same allure as when I [...]

Sharon Stone’s Auction Head-scratcher

Found this on the IMDB news and thought I might as well share it. So strange.
Sharon Stone stunned audience members at a charity auction in Berlin, Germany on Monday night by enticing participants to bid by calling them “nasty little Germans.” The 48-year-old was acting as an auctioneer at the Cinema for Peace gala [...]

Anna Nicole Smith died today, who’ll have ghost sex now?

I just thought I’d throw this up there because it’s slightly “dreamlogic”.
39-year-old Anna Nicole Smith died today at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida of unknown causes and on the heels of a Trim Spa lawsuit (the diet pill campaign she pushed and used to lose almost 70 pounds was [...]

Chewbacca cools off in jail

That gurgly Chewbacca roar heard in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood California fell silent this Saturday when a fuzzy Star Wars impersonator revoked his personal space and headbutted a tour guide. The man confronted the 6′5″ 44-year-old street actor about harassing two young Japanese tourists and thought he made his point until [...]

Get buff in the buff

Amsterdam and gym membership peddlers never cease to amaze me. Now nudists are invited to join a Dutch gym.
The participants must sit on towels so as not to funkify the gym equipment, which already gets a little gross with the stale sweat layers from dressed guests, but other than that they’ll have [...]

Love conquers all except cigarettes

Not a day goes by that I don’t count my lucky stars that I’m married to my forever love and that I’m so glad I found him. So of course, I’ll continue to post articles about ill-fated marriages so you can all laugh and point at them. Just kidding, it’s horrible news when [...]

Cheating is a crime

Howard Dean’s “we’re going to MICHIGAAAAAN!” rant just took a new spin. It is a felony in Michigan to commit adultery. That’s right, take notes you philanderers and fence jumpers out there. So be wary if you presently reside in the Wolverine State and your spouse is suddenly anxious to move away [...]

Japanese Spider-Man

With all the excitement over the latest Spiderman film, I figure we might as well drop a post on the old Toei production. It’s spiderman with the usual wall-crawling and webslinging, but with the added bonus of motorcycles, mechs, and a killer soundtrack. Back when I was about five or six years old, my parents [...]

Strong enough for a cop but made for a woman

Motorola Razrs aren’t the only items to get prettified for purses. Tasers will now come in a variety of colors such as blue, silver, black, and metallic light pink. The new C2 Taser has a sleek new design, resembling a shiny Norelco or something. It has a 15 foot range and 50 [...]

Happy Coming of Age Day!

The drinking and voting age in Japan is twenty years old and today is the celebration of that occasion, and it is called “Coming of Age Day” for lack of creative terminology. These new adults party hardy at Tokyo Disneyland, city halls and temples across Japan to celebrate. What’s more alarming than the [...]

North Korean nukes, South Korean robots give birth

Seoul’s Kyunghee University Medical Center realized that South Korean birth rate is at its lowest dip (about one kid per woman). To accommodate this, they are training its students with “Noelle” the pregnant robot. Because the mannequin was purchased from American company Gaumard Scientific, it’s face is exactly like those CPR dummies [...]
