This is sort of like reverse Borat. Since when does USC only have Asian students? Aren’t students there more like the UCLA racist girl? At about $150k for a four years, the school has it’s problems in terms of putting people into debt. This segment is supposed to be funny, and it could be, but honestly, the dude with the mic, Oschack, can’t play the game well. Borat he’s not, back to the super minors. Fuel TV? Too high up. How about Naked News? College X: Oschack visits USC by FOX_Sports_Interactive

A blog entry about being at Taiji during “dolphins day”, in the location where the dolphin hunt is to happen. It’s not that the efforts of the documentary, The Cove have ended it all, but the media attention has to be the most annoying ever for the fisherman. It’s probably near impossible to make a dolphin hunt just end, especially when it’s a way of life, a way of making a living, much like folks who have to dig for oil or diamonds for that matter.

Fashion either fails miserably or prognosticates what’s to come. This looks like a long shot. Taping them to have thinner eyes. Reverse eye jobs? It’s not quite happening just yet in masse. CNN and Tyra had Martin Wong on the show to talk about the round eye surgeries. Here’s one older report (CNN – Eye Surgery Video)

Never mind the 46″ TV, that’s child’s play. Really. Sony is releasing something that is equal to 62 feet. It’ll be less social than ever, it’s you and a visual screen that’s attached to your head that projects just millimeters from your eyeball. It’s 3D and will be neat for a second, until people realize that it’s just lame. No doubt it’s something that had to get done. The big “but…” is for video games which is usually a solo “loner with boner” experience. This Sony product combined with a PS3 might create the largest boner ever. Sony HMZ-T1-2
