WHAT EVER!!
 
The longest name of a city in New Zealand
When they ask how you spell it,
tell them your Momma helps you.
| Unintentionally hilarious vintage images as a reminder
that your grandpa the sailor had a lot of tough choices to make.

I can no more easily tell different kinds of Asian kanji apart than I can types of Asian people, so I’ll have to take the Angry Clam’s
word that this is a Chinese infomercial — not Japanese — advertising a
magical bra that increases breast size at the push of a button. Seems
like SOME country has spent a little too much time making anime of
schoolgirl tentacle rape bukkake and has fallen behind in the creepy
bra infomercial race.
I checked with a friend who lived in China (the inimitable Spencer Hall), and he confirmed the authenticity:
We used to watch these ALL THE TIME. They have one for
shrinking your vagina. [translating as he watches] At one point they’re
just saying BIG! BIGGER! REALLY BIGGER!!!!
Excellent! Oh, and I was kidding about telling different kinds of
Asian people apart. You immerse yourself in the industry like I do and
eventually you can differentiate a Thai ladyboy from your basic
Vietnamese child sex slave from 100 yards. I have that on my resume
under “Additional Skills,” I might add. |
Walmart Really Does Have Everything!
Walmart has
started carrying caskets online. This in response to Costco
offering
caskets on their website. Walmart has a selection of 14 caskets as well
as a variety of urns for the cremated.
Pat Lynch, of the National
Funeral Home Director's Association, isn't worried.
He says that online
retailers don't offer one important thing funeral homes do,
the comfort
of human contact at a difficult time.
I don't know, I think I could
call a friend for human contact after saving a couple hundred dollars
online.
Still, it does have the creepy factor,
shopping for a casket at
Walmart's website. |
An artist with the ability to disappear
Meet the real-life Invisible Man!
|
35-year-old Liu Bolin, from Shandong, China, manages to camouflage himself in any surroundings, no matter how difficult they might be.
Liu works on a single photo for up to 10 hours at a time, to make
sure he gets it just right, but he achieves the right effect: sometimes
passers-by don’t even realize he is there until he moves.
The talented Liu Bolin says his art is a protest
against the actions of the Government, who shut down his art studio in
2005 and persecutes artists. It’s about not fitting into modern
society. Despite problems with Chinese authorities, Liu’s works are
appreciated at an international level.
