We’re talking about the open era. That’s all we have to say. Anyone know when the last Asian of any sort reached a Men’s Quarterfinal?

Yes, us men have our own game controller as said by Hirotaka Machida of Sega. The urinal games are something we’ve reported before in the UK and now there’s an official one by SEGA. The urinal costs $2000 and would be a joy to have in your own home. Imagine the amount of water or beer you’d drink to try and beat the pee records. Some games are measured by pee volume! One removes the clothes of a women from the quantity of pee, one has a fake nurse talking about your pee, and one is a snot shooting game. Which will be most popular? Drunken men, animated clothes less female. It’s trouble all around. [youtube]YprsmfrdDew[/youtube]

Like Darth Vader upset at the end of Star Wars… Nooooooo! A 49 year old man was found dead from stab wounds and his penis under his bed. It’s been ruled a suicide. Yes it’s a bizarre crime, there are no photos, and there’s hilarious translated commentary from a TV show about it. With 30,000 suicides a year in Japan, this one is baffling. (xisde – Penis)

This is getting strange. Imagine Hello Kitty has a profile? Not a story or past or likes and dislikes, but an actual profile. This is what Hello Kitty looks like when it’s facing forward in a profile. There’s no nose, it’s eye has a lash and although it’s called Hellosmile, there no mouth. This is actually a project to put out the word on cervical cancer. So basically, the name, the new logo, the jet and the actual reason is makes little sense. A smile is always nice, but it’s actual tie in, not quite fitting. The plane’s route is a simple one as it’s going from Haneda to Sapporo at this time. You most likely won’t see it.

Although it claims to not be finished, this is an exhaustive and harrowing story of a guy stuck in detention in Narita airport. Sounding like Disneyland’s mythical jail, the story is about being flagged, then being extorted and abused and not by Japanese but by a security force that sounds something like Blackwater. We’ve heard the stories about being sent back to America when people aren’t allowed in but who pays and how much? Sometimes it’s in the 1000s for a plane flight. A mean in jail might cost you, and the “hotel” of a jail cell is $300 a night. Where’s the money going? G4S is a security company from where the photo below was taken. They are the “police” force who aren’t necessarily Japanese, and are the folks who rough up the folks who are detained. 20,000 get removed from Japan annually via the Narita Airport jail. The right question is, Who’s watching the guards. (globalite.posterous.com – gaijin tank)
