From Girlybubble: Each gender has its own stereotypes like men being bread winners or women being a little bit too sensitive for their own good. The latter stereotype is the theme of Amuse Soft Entertainment’s new DVD Crying Girl (translated to Nakigao in Japanese), which was released in Japan late last month. More »

From Ziggytek: Hey to all you lonely geeks out there! I was assigned the “Top 10 Most Eligible Geek Bachelorettes” topic. You’re all in luck, as I have great taste in women (questionable…). Let’s begin (Asian bias? A little…)! More »

Askmen.com’s Top 99 Women have been released. All these ladies have one thing in common, they’re all hot I wish I could be spending Valentine with them this year. Anyways, it seems like Asian women made a push to be an impact on this year’s list! Out of the 99 women, 6 are Asian. How I wish there were even more Asian ladies dominating the list, though! Maybe in 2011! More »

One of my first experiences in Japan was visiting a public bathroom at my local university. After a long flight I felt the very strong urge to spend some quality time alone, sitting in deep thought about my journey to Asia. I didn’t spend all that much time thinking before I become increasingly aware of the sound of running water coming from my stall. While very relaxing in itself, I became overly paranoid that the high tech toilet would erupt on me. More »

To promote their upcoming “Romeo” single, SHINee bagged some guerrilla marketing techniques and hit the streets of Seoul to hand roses to unsuspecting women in high-traffic areas. Romeo? Roses? Totally clever. While it is clever, my inner pop music cynic can’t help but think, “Maybe it’s bad and they’re using roses to guilt us all into buying the single. A date wouldn’t hurt if they want to buy my approval!” If that’s the case, I hope they hit up all the women my age and older. Women that have spending power. (But in this case, hitting me up wouldn’t be such a good idea.) Czech out the boys in action: More »

If you thought Nyotaimori (’body sushi’ or the practice of serving sushi on naked women) was weird, wait till you see this feast for the gastronoics! Oh, there’s a male version of Nyotaimori as well called Nantaimori before anyone starts talking about objectification of women. Although, I must admit morality still doesn’t come into play much here either. (Well… I *suppose* if it’s a ridiculously good looking Korean male model with a Rain-esque body, then watcha gonna do right?)

So, as far as I can make out, this practice called “Cannibalism Banquet” is taking body sushi to a whole ‘nother level. Basically, a life size replica of a human body is made and stuffed piñata style with food covered in red sauce, for authentic blood lickingness. Ewk, I hope that doesn’t mean tastingness too… Then it’s wheeled out to you on a hospital operation table. More »
