Just when I start thinking break-dancing is totally cornball, I see an act like this that blows me away. These guys are so good I got the chills. Wooooot!
Thanks,

We're living in an age that seems frightened — nay, terrified — of crotch hair, or, to put it more delicately, hair on the "bikini area." In the '70s, hairy everything was the rage and now. Nothin'. Even dudes wax their brows.
It seems that Japanese television has been pretty awesome for a long, long time. Take the "tokusatsu" or special effects television show Ultraman (1966 -1967), which was created by one of the dudes who was the creator of Godzilla in 1954. Although it looks like Godzilla here, I hear from an aficionado that Ultraman and Godzilla would never fight each other.
This Japanese "string movie" consists of a bunch of people in black suits with some fluorescent string attached acting out scenes from classic movies. I love the idea that as film technology gets more and more advanced, some people are keeping visual effects low-tech. That's my string theory, anyway.

I Can Haz Cheezburger? and now cats in clothes sitting in bowls. It truly will never end. (And what's up with the sleazy music at the beginning of this vid?!) Thanks,

Leave it to the Japanese to turn the staid and conservative game of bowling into some show-stopping, lane-jumping razzle-dazzle. (Did that sentence even make sense?)
This is one "impossible body ideal" we can all agree should remain "impossible." I wouldn't feel so guilty about going to the gym if the outcome is that I look like a topiary or, like an aerobicizing poodle. Yikes!
This is one video artist's take on Ronaldo-san, as he's known in Japan. Who knew this was the effect of fast food on the brain. In the US, McDonald's just makes you fat.

We all know how the fairytale goes, but even if we didn't and we were up a creek without a translator, we'd get what's going on here. Through the use of a topsy-turvy wardrobe thingamajig, this lady puts on one heigh-ho of a show. Check it out.
I say that, but I bet I'd try this Japanese pizza with a mayonnaise and shrimp-filled crust. Then again, it's that time of the month.
