JAL stewardess uniforms feared hot item on black market

Already engaged in a struggle to emerge from bankruptcy, Japan Air Lines is now engaged in a fight of a different sort: Keeping the stylish outfits of laid-off flight attendants off the black market and out of the hands of uniform fetishists.
A jacket alone can fetch several hundred pounds, while one site is presently advertising [...]


Mongolian UFO?

Two strange objects have reportedly crashed in  Nowhere, Mongolia. Might be UFOs, might be jet engine parts. But if that’s the case, what happens to a jet when its engine falls out? Wouldn’t the crew have noticed they no longer had an engine?
Mongolian UFO
I think it’s probably a UFO. There is a large population of [...]


The Roof is on Fire? WASABI!

Like deaf people don’t have it hard enough, now their smoke alarms blast them in the face with wasabi when there’s a fire.
Yuck
Now, you need an alternative way to alert people if they can’t hear the alarm, but it doesn’t help if their eyes are watering so badly they can’t see the exit and die [...]


Japan + Star Wars + Chicken

I have no words for this.
What has been seen cannot be unseen.
C-3PO has a nice ass.
Why does food in the 1970’s always look totally garish and gross? I have fondue cookbooks from the 1970’s and the food always looks horrible.  And the people! Good God…like their souls have been devoured by The Unnameable. And those [...]


Tatty Pigs in China

Dressing up some people is like putting lipstick on a pig (*cough*JuliaRoberts*cough*) but one weirdo artist is taking it a step further in China- he’s putting tattoos on pigs.

Piggy Pics
Now, it doesn’t seem nice to tattoo pigs. I understand that afterwards, there is much itching and burning until the skin heals (no [...]


Off-Topic: Thank You Larry Flynt

I’ve gone on-call at the bookstore where I used to work, and last night was my first night back. I got to have this great conversation:
Co-worker: “AnaKhouri, there is a customer on the phone who wants this movie…” >consults slip of paper< “‘Nailin’ Palin’. Do we have it?”
Me: “…that’s a PORNO. Um, don’t ask me [...]


10,000 Mani-uh, Toilets

Our recent posts have gone from zombies to James Bond to strippers, so this seems the logical next step (I love zombies and James Bond and strippers, by the way).
WALL OF TOILETS!
Such an interesting exhibition was presented at the festival of ceramics in China.
The wall with a total length of 100 meters and five meters [...]


Creepy Futuristic Hotel in Taiwan

Just in time for Halloween, here are some creepy pics of an abandoned vacation complex in Taiwan…designed to look all futuristic and stuff. Futuristic as of the 1950’s anyway.
UFO Pileup!
It looks like a bad accident in which multiple UFOs piled up on the highway…but kind of cool too. I wouldn’t mind staying in one. Probably [...]


Buttered Bridge in China

Wow. Apparently one particular bridge in Guangzhou is so popular for suicides that officials got sick of the traffic jams they constantly caused. They tried everything to deter the despairing, but nothing worked. Until someone came up with the ingenious idea of smearing the bridge with butter so no one could climb up.
It\’s Like Butter
This [...]


Small island in Philippines drives inhabitants batshit crazy

The Philippine government maintains a small garrison of civil servants on Pagasa, a small 75-acre island in the Spratley island chain, in order to claim ownership. While this may sound like paradise, the truth sounds more like an episode of Lost.
“Sometimes, when the phones were down, I’d lie in bed and think about my girlfriend [...]


Oshii’s ‘Musashi’ is “… very likely the least commercial film in the Oshii canon.”

Twitch reviews Mamoru Oshii’s latest flick, a bio of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi – and it sounds astoundingly weird.  Reviewer Todd Brown even goes so far as to claim that it’s Oshii’s ‘least commercial’ film.
Seriously? This is the same guy that directed Angel’s Egg, a 70-minute existential anime with less than five words of dialogue.
Lest [...]


Neverland Ranch Comes to China

What is it with China and weirdo amusement parks? Since the sex-musement park went down the drain, some canny investors have decided to replace it with something just as weird:

I mean, I guess he had a ton of Chinese fans and they can’t exactly get over here to visit [...]


Fishing for Boobs

Look, one of those UFO catcher machines that’s full of …onions?
Look closer, there are nipples on those things.
WTF Japan.
Why would you even want one of these things? What possible use could they have? Wait, maybe trannies can put them in their bras for a more natural look.
So it’s true- you really CAN get anything from [...]


South Korean Fish with Human Faces!

Speaking of evolution….what the fuck?

For Sale: One Chick’s Time

A girl in China decided making her own decisions was too much work. So she asked the Internet to tell her what to do!
…that’s a recipe for disaster.

But wait! Her requests have included things like taking care of stray cats and feeding homeless people. Obviously 4chan has not discovered her site yet…
If I could find(and [...]
