White



This little chinese boy walks into the room with his mother after he had gotten into some flour.
He said, "Look mom, I'm white!"
She slapped him and told him to go see his father.
He went in the room and said, "Look dad, I'm white!"
His father did the same thing and slapped him and told him to go see his grandmother.
He went to his grandmother and said, "Look, I'm white!"
She slapped him and told him to go see his mom.
He walked back in the room with his mom and she said, "Did you learn anything from this?"
The little mexican boy said, "Yeah, I been white for 5 minutes and I already hate you damn chinks."

Haruhi S2 or Ep8?



Here's the recap: When it was announced the Haruhi they would be airing was a rerun of the first season there were many sh*tstorms, but they quickly turned to speculation when it was announced that there were 28 timeslots reserved for this airing, leading many to believe they would air it in chronological order instead of original broadcast order, and slip in the 'missing' episodes in between the already existing episodes. The rerun started airing in April, without much fanfare, and it turned out it was indeed "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya part I", the first episode chronologically. Yesterday the other half of the prediction came true: episode 8 was indeed a new episode.

The prediction, as yet unconfirmed, but still pretty likely, is that the season will look like this:

01. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya I (S1)
02. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya II (S1)
03. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya III (S1)
04. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya IV (S1)
05. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya V (S1)
06. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya VI (S1)
07. The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya (S1)
08. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody (S2)
09. Mysterique Sign (S1)
10. Lone Island Syndrome I (S1)
11. Lone Island Syndrome II (S1)
12. Endless Eight (S2)
13. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya I (S2)
14. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya II (S2)
15. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya III (S2)
16. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya IV (S2)
17. The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00 (S1)
18. Live Alive (S1)
19. The Day of Sagittarius (S1)
20. Someday in the Rain (S1)
21. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya I (S2)
22. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya II (S2)
23. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya III (S2)
24. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya IV (S2)
25. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya V (S2)
26. Charmed at First Sight LOVER (S2)
27. Snow Mountain Syndrome (S2)
28. Where Did the Cat Go? (S2)

Ghazilla, we're onto you

Gundam legs --

Piece by piece, an 18-meter tall, 35-ton full-scale Gundam statue is being assembled in Odaiba, Tokyo to commemorate 30 years of Mobile Suit Gundam. When finished in mid-July, the enormous figure will entertain onlookers by moving its head and shooting light and mist from 50 points on its body. Until then, we have these photos of its magnificent legs and assorted parts.

Marriage-Hunting Bra

Marriage-hunting bra (Konkatsu bra) --

Nothing says “marriage or bust” quite like the Marriage-Hunting Bra (Konkatsu Bra), a new concept lingerie by Triumph International designed to help the marriage-minded woman find a husband by displaying how much time remains until she hopes to tie the knot. (Watch video.)

In addition to the easy-to-read LED display that shows the number of days until the wearer’s ideal wedding date, the white lace bra — which has the look and feel of a wedding dress — features a ring holder and convenient pockets for a pen and official stamp seal, which will be needed when filling out the marriage license application.

Triumph, which unveils a new concept bra every six months, hopes the Marriage-Hunting Bra will encourage more people to get hitched, even though it is not for sale. The creators were inspired by Konkatsu-Jidai (”The Times of Marriage-Hunting”), a recent best-seller by Toko Shirakawa that looks at Japan’s declining marriage rate and the growing difficulty that people in their 30s and 40s face when seeking marriage partners.

Recent statistics indicate that 47 percent of men and 32 percent of women in their early 30s are unmarried. These figures appear to be on the rise as people focus more on career than on family, and as people increasingly view marriage as a personal preference, not an essential part of life.

Hollywood Death Note Movie Due


Hollywood studio Warner Brothers has obtained the rights to produce a live-action movie adaptation of supernatural suspense manga Death Note, it has been revealed.

The adaptation is due to be based on the manga, as opposed to any of the other titles in the franchise, and is apparently still in the very early stages of production.

Warner Brothers has brought in big-name heavyweight screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to create the screenplay, so the script may be something special indeed; they may be known to Hollywood followers from such blockbusters as “War of the Gods” and “Live Bet”.


With the manga having already been adapted into an anime and a series of Japanese live action adaptations, it seems Warner Brothers is on well trodden ground.

Whether they opt to faithfully adapt the original or simply hijack its brand identity should be interesting to behold…

More attention splitting

Otariiman



An interesting recent phenomenon is the otaku salaryman, sometimes called otariiman (オタリーマン ?). The 2000s has seen the rise of this type of salaryman, who appears perfectly ordinary at work, but is actually an intense otaku in his private life. It is currently not uncommon for salarymen to have a wide range of hobbies, but the “otaku as salaryman” is still treated as a relatively new entity in Japanese culture.

One manga that addresses this is Boku, Otariiman (ぼく、オタリーマン。 ,“I am Otariiman”?), which features such a character.[3]
