The donations came from two of four Japanese gang figures who received liver transplants at a time when [...] Continue »

Ninja Grandma Lives in Strangers Closet for a Year

In completely absurd news that, yet again, “shames our people” out of any perception of model minority-ness, this tidbit from Tokyo is fascinating. TOKYO – A homeless woman who sneaked into a man’s house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing. Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man’s closet and arrested her for [...] Continue »

Hizashi no Naka no Rairu

Hizashi no Naka no Rairu

[smartads] Because seriously… everyone just wants to bone an underage Asian girl, don’t we? And now we can, on the Nintendo DS! From the game description found online: “A simple sex simulation game featuring anime-styled art, using flash as its engine.” Torrentspy says you can download it here. I ain’t doing it, yo. I’m at work. (In the past, we used to call this an “accident.”)

Jin says “Fuck you Rosie” in style

“My Sassy Girl” comes to American Theaters

“My Sassy Girl” comes to American Theaters

So those who know me and have been victim to my sassy shenanigans will note that I frequently point to Korean Romantic Comedy classic “My Sassy Girl” as an explanation for my propensity to pass out drinking (kidding – maybe) and punching of people. Because – after all, it’s cute! RIGHT?! And I’m *NOT* the only crazy Korean girl out there. *RIGHT?!* So imagine my dismay at discovering that the English remake is in production. [...] Continue »
