The Nose Hair Notification Service
Everybody knows that one person, be it a coworker, friend, or significant other (I hope not) that has a literal forest growing out of their nose. It used to be that the only way to inform someone of this grievous grooming oversight was to actually tell them yourself, and endure their resulting cold shoulder treatment for the rest of the day because you had to open your mouth in a crowded elevator.
You dick.
Thankfully, now there’s Chololi, a Japanese nose hair notification service that allows you to anonymously inform someone that it’s time for a trim.
It’s quite simple; you just head over to their website and fill out a simple form with the person’s name, email address, and a description of the offending nose hair. Chololi then sends Chewbacca a message in the tone of your choosing, from “mild” to “scornful”, yikes.
2 Million Dollar Christmas Tree
In these tough economic times it’s important for a lot of families to cut back even when it comes to holiday gift giving. And while some trees might not have as many presents underneath this year, Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka has proved that there’s no loss of Christmas spirit for the ridiculously wealthy by creating a solid gold Christmas tree worth $1.95 million.
But I wanted an X-box!
Made of solid gold plates and heart-shaped ornaments, the tree stands nearly eight feet tall and weighs 26lbs. Once again, that’s 26lbs of SOLID GOLD.
Unfortunately, no budget was left for lights.
The tree will be on display at the Tokyo Ginza store until December 25th, after which it will be stuffed in a large envelope and sent to that Cash-4-Gold place they saw on TV.
Via.
Becoming a Dragon
I never knew that Carp Streamers were so meaningful. On April 27, there was a Carp Streamer Festival in Kanna, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. The festival is derived from a Chinese folk tale that said a carp becomes a dragon when it successfully swims up a waterfall. To honor this folk tale, people gathered to hang up carp streamers and pray for the health of their sons. So, my only question now is what about the carp-ess?
Japanese Civil Servant Earns Demotion For 780,000 Hits On Porn Sites
Do you think your obsession with porn is excessive? Don’t worry, there’s a guy out there who loves porn way more than you do.
A Japanese civil servant was demoted for logging more than 780,000 hits on pornographic Web sites on his office computer over nine months, an official said Friday.
This makes me wonder what kind of porn he’s into. Come on, 780,000 hits on porn sites over the course of 9 months just isn’t normal, there isn’t even enough normal porn to accommodate that kind of need. If I had to guess, I’d say this guy is into hentai, bestiality, scat, and midget porn all together.
Along with the demotion, he received a 20,000 yen ($190) monthly pay cut, Waki said.
I wouldn’t be too upset with this monthly pay cut if I was him, it’s not like he pays for porn anyway.
