As if golf couldn't get any sexier, you can always count on the Japanese to make it so.
So you didn't grow up to be President, like you'd hoped. But that doesn't mean your boyfriend can't be one! Let this amazing J-Pop ode to our Heads of State be your guide. After watching this I'm kind of hot on Putin, not gonna lie.
This is ripped straight from my dreams, if you trade Sarkozy and Zapatero for Putin and the Pope. Seriously: Zapatero, quite the hunk. (Many thanks to Videogum.)
A man in Japan has perfected the art of making schoolgirl panties take flight. I think this guy deserves a Nobel prize and/or MacArthur Genius Grant so that he can continue his research.
Like semi-clothed Japanese women? Like looking like an asshole in public? Like blowing on inanimate objects? There's an app for that.
The things I have experienced thanks to Japanese television will never cease to amaze me.
A ukulele cover of the classic Ventures song “Walk, Don't Run” sung by stuffed animals from Japan.
From the land of innovation, Japan adds to the square watermelon by creating heart and star-shaped cucumbers. Delicious and absolutely adorable.
I know you're totally into Japanese culture and that's why I found you your very own Ganguro Girl. Enjoy!
Former action star, now-Govenator Arnold Schwarzenegger, also happens to be king of the Japanese commercial - or as they are called “Japanders.” Not that this hasn't been said previously, but after watching this 10 minute video of all his “work” abroad, just how did he get elected?
Culture Buzz Meet Pankun. Pankun is responsible for about 90% of the funny videos of chimps on the internet. Along with his best friend, a pit-bull named James, he loves to learn how to act like a human.
A Japanese magazine devoted to American police officers, that apparently hates American police officers.
Japanese McDonalds are going to be releasing The Mega-Egg for a limited time, which is essentially a Big Mac with more meat, bacon, and an egg for good measure.
I don't really understand Japanese, but i think this has less to do with eggs than it does discreet masturbation.
Well, don't these babies look excited? Sumo babies really doesn't teach babies how to sumo wrestle, as much as make you giggle watching the giant sumo wrestlers hold tiny babies.
A clip from a Japanese movie from the 70s called Hausu which is apparently about a killer lampshade, but might also be about a painting of a cat. Also, there are wacky disembodied legs, and a bleeding geisha, and enough blood to cause a flood. So, the movies pretty much got it all.
Japanese band SOUR's music video for “Hibi no Neiro” (Tone of Everyday) features synchronized moves from real fan webcams across the globe. Can't help but feel extra warm inside about this one — song's not bad either.
A tree sprouted in a Japanese junk yard 25 years ago, and as it grew it took a car, a motorcycle, and some other junk up with it.
Nobuya tried out for So You Think You Can Dance, and made it to Vegas (where they cull the chosen ones into the Top 20). He didn't make the final cut, but he popped and locked his way into my heart forever. Side note: Mia Michaels is such a jerk.
Movie Buzz Oh hey, look what just came out on DVD. Yes, that's Brittany Murphy, in the Japanese-made, straight-to-DVD movie, The Ramen Girl! From what I can tell it's like Karate Kid but instead of karate she learns how to cook ramen noodles. Alright then.
