Stop The Global ACTA Treaty!

2012-01-26T12:21:00.000-08:00

Via Avaz.org Posted: 25 January 2012

Last week, 3 million of us beat back America's attack on our Internet! --- but there is an even bigger threat out there, and our global movement for freedom online is perfectly poised to kill it for good.

ACTA - a global treaty - could allow corporations to censor the Internet. Negotiated in secret by a small number of rich countries and corporate powers, it would set up a shadowy new anti-counterfeiting body to allow private interests to police everything that we do online and impose massive penalties -- even prison sentences -- against people they say have harmed their business.

Taiwan's Take on Tim Tebow

2012-01-10T21:01:00.000-08:00

Most likely if you follow sports, you have already heard about Tim Tebow and his remarkable overtime winning touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas to lead the Denver Broncos over the Pittsburg Steelers 29-23 on Sunday. And unless you live in North Korea, you also heard about the strange connections to The Bible verse John 3:16 in that game:

"OK, so we're not quite done yet. As our brilliant commenters point out below, Tebow completed 10 passes. That means he averaged 31.6 yards per pass. His final pass was to Thomas who just happens to have been born on Christmas Day."

"Oh and this: the Steelers-Broncos game was the most-watched wild-card game since 1988. In the final quarter-hour, the overnight rating was 31.6. Weird stuff man, weird stuff."

"As it turns out, the lone interception thrown in the game on Sunday night came from Ben Roethlisberger. What down and distance were involved when he threw it? Third and 16. Of course."

NMA TV's 3D News Update on Iowa Caucus

NMA TV has shown once again that truth is stranger than fiction and comedy is just more truth and a whole lot of pain. Indeed, almost all of the Republicans have become funny cartoon characters and circus clowns! Here is their very funny update on yesterday's Iowa caucus:

And here is a very likely scenario that could happen. In October later this year, after Republican candidate Ron Paul has utterly destroyed Obama in all the national debates, his popularity will skyrocket and he'll become heavily favored to win the upcoming presidential election. And because the GOP hates that so much, all of a sudden, they create a false flag national emergency event of radical and rampant terrorism in the US. Of course, that "indefinitely postpones" the presidential election and the GOP screams "Impeach Obama Now!" But as the violence gets even worse, average Americans seize the opportunity by joining in and thus begins the long-awaited American Revolution #2. Self-appointed Generalissimo Obama attempts to enforce martial law. But the military is now ALL for Ron Paul and tanks start rolling up the White House lawn. D.C. is in CHAOS!

According to Time magazine, he was the result of a decades-long experiment that matched up athletes of extraordinary dimensions and abilities. Ming's father was 2.08 meters or about 6'9" tall and his mother was 1.88 (6'2") which is about a foot taller than the average Chinese man. When 'little' Ming was born he weighed over 5 Kg.

Our venerable Japanese News correspondent just sent in this stunning new scoop of David Bowie as a Japanese Salaryman:

Talking of coffee tables, here are some glimpses of a glossy new book by Japanese photographer Masayoshi Sukita. Speed of Life (a snip at £360) shows Sylvian’s direct forebear and antecedent David Bowie posing in Kyoto during a holiday there in 1979 — the time he was hanging out with Sinologist David Kidd.

Bowie, after hinting that Japan was to be his new home, left for New York, explaining that Japan would make him “too Zen”, which would cause him to stop writing.

But perhaps the oddest and most interesting of Sukita’s images, revealed for the first time in the new book, are the studio shots where he portrays Bowie as a salaryman on his way to work, attempting to beat the clock

David Bowie and Masayoshi Sukita are now working together on this new photo book entitled "Speed of Life". This book can be pre-ordered here.

L'Arc~en~Ciel Launches New World Tour

2011-11-30T22:47:00.000-08:00

Via Otaku Reviewers NOVEMBER 30, 2011

Yes it's true and the legendary Japanese rock band L'Arc~en~Ciel has just launched a new world tour! On November 29th they kicked off the tour with a sold-out 20th anniversary concert at Ajinomoto Stadium. That show was broadcast via tape-delay at Empire 25 in New York City. According to RPGHERO:

It was basically like I won the experience of sneaking into a city movie theatre... But the concert film was pretty cool. It wasn't truly live, it was more like it was filmed on the 29th in Japan and shown in the USA on the 29th. So it's almost like it was live right? It took place at technically the same time and day.

Here is a video of the concert footage of L'Arc-en-Ciel performing Ready Steady Go from the other night:

And here is the band performing their smash hit Driver's High live at the Yoyogi Daiichi Taiikukan during the last night of their week-long "Shibuya Seven Days 2003" concerts:

1965 David Bowie Home Video

2011-11-26T17:08:00.000-08:00

Mr. T @ The 3Yen just sent in this remarkable home video of David Bowie and members of The Lower Third in 1965:

Original source: Mrs Tsk *

”The scene, brief and looped, has the elusive appeal of a new Yeti or Bigfoot reel. Joe Salama, who posted the fragment, says: “This exceptional cine footage was taken by my late father on a trip up to the West End of London totally unaware that David Bowie was the young dude that smiles graciously at the camera.”

"Well, I thought I could do better than that, and before long I’d googled enough to publish with some confidence the true facts of this remarkable document. Somebody in the comments points out that it’s more likely to be 1966 or 1965. I’m able to confirm that this is spring 1965."

"I also found this Lower Third handbill, drawn by Bowie himself in 1965, showing him with the same hairstyle and the same high rounded shirt collar you see in the film."

PETA Attacks Nintendo's Super Mario

2011-11-17T23:46:00.000-08:00

In recent news, PETA or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has labelled the popular iconic Super Mario character as a promoter of the fur industry! Apparently in Nintendo's new Super Mario 3D Land game Mario puts on a Tanuki suit and gains the power to glide. But PETA says that is some kind of animal abuse and it has even launched an online game called Mario Kills Tanooki:

Notice the incorrect spelling of Tanuki which clearly shows that PETA is wrong yet again!

Needless to say, this has created quite an uproar in mass media and all over the internet. Here is a clever animated response by NMA.TV:

David Bowie may leave troubled EMI 08 Nov 2011

David Bowie's contract ends in January and he is reportedly in talks with Universal Music and Sony.

David Bowie is reportedly on the brink of walking away from EMI, the troubled UK music group in the middle of an auction, after a 15-year relationship in which the label held the rights to the bulk of his back catalogue including classic albums Ziggy Stardust and Space Oddity.

Bowie's contract comes to an end in January and the Financial Times reports today that EMI have declined to comment.

Bowie is apparently in talks with Universal Music and Sony Music, who hold the rights to his output since 1995. Continued...

After all, it is now true what they say and North Korea is Best Korea as the DPRK defeated Japan 1-0 in yesterday's 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers match in Pyongyang. Here are some of the game's highlights:

With this win, North Korea has also been awarded the Unofficial World Champion Football Title:

North Korea 1-0 Japan
15/11/2011, Pyongyang
Scorer: Nam Chol Pak
'Japan’s long reign as UFWC champions came to an end today in Pyongyang, as North Korea became the new unofficial football world champions. Midfielder Nam Chol Pak was the hero for the North Koreans, who fought hard for a deserved victory against an admittedly weakened Japan side. North Korea, ranked just 124th in the world by FIFA, become one of the most unlikely unofficial champions in UFWC history, proving that anything can happen over the course of 90 minutes."

Liu Bolin: China's #1 'Forever Alone' Artist

2011-11-14T12:30:00.000-08:00

While many countries attempt in vain to overthrow Japan as THE #1 WTF superpower, China may now have a lock on the world's #1 Forever Alone artist:

Actually, this is one of the many incredible works by China's world-renowned camouflage artist Liu Bolin. His work has been shown in many countries and one of his recent solo exhibitions “The Invisible Man,” was produced by Eli Klein Fine Art and held in New York.

But before asking yourself "Why, China, Why?" Bolin's art is considered by many as a very poignant statement on our world and the anonymous state of so many poverty-stricken people all over the globe. Early in his career, his exhibits were shut down by Chinese authorities making him virtually 'anonymous' but through that experience he developed his art even more. "My pieces talk about the question of the social status of art in general. In my work the artist is hiding to restore his strength and to protect himself," says Bolin.

After graduating with a master's degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2001, Bolin became a college teacher but resigned after only four years. He then moved to Beijing's old city of Suo Jia Village and began his fantastic voyage. You can see more of Bolin's work here.

Blendtec's Olympus Camera Prophecy Video

2011-11-08T12:30:00.000-08:00

Much like Japan's Yamaichi Securities and Livedoor, now the Olympus Corporation has been caught cooking its books for the past two decades! Apparently it all started back in the '90s over some bad investments that were covered up instead of written off. This all came about earlier this year after the company's first foreign CEO Michael Woodford recently questioned some past acquisitions and excessive advisory fees paid to mysterious middle men. Following that, Woodford was then immediately fired after only two weeks on the job! Sounds all too familiar with some other Gaijin and other Japanese firms these days.

However, a premonition of this global firm's explosive collapse was actually seen at least two years prior when the legendary Blendtec team created this funny and prophetic video Will It Blend? - New Olympus Cameras Get Mixed by Blendtec:

Japan's Chim↑Pom‬ 'Super Rats' Attack Tokyo

2011-10-26T22:47:00.000-07:00

Via Huffington Post 10/25/11

Just after the 3-11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that struck Fukushima, world wide media immediately focused on Japan. Shortly after that, a group of Japanese artists known as ‪Chim↑Pom‬ launched their own nuclear art attack on Tokyo's Shibuya station and added a very relevant and explosive guerrilla installation to Taro Okamoto's "Myth of Tomorrow" mural which is an historical homage to Japan's previous nuclear holocausts:

This installation piece entitled "Level 7 feat. Myth of Tomorrow" created a big scandal as at first it was anonymously featured in world news and Japanese headlines. This work was very skillfully done in order to blend in with Okamoto's style. That effort enabled it to stay on the mural for over two weeks. Once it was noticed by mainstream Japanese media it was taken down by the police and called "graffiti" and "malicious mischief." A police investigation followed and public debates in the press and on the internet discussed whether or not it was a crime. Soon afterwards ‪Chim↑Pom‬ released this video on Youtube:

and created even more controversy! Following that the group held a press conference and admitted that it was their work and added it to their ensuing "Real Times" exhibition which was held from May 20th - May 25th in Tokyo and from June 20th - 27th in Osaka. After both exhibitions, the police came and investigated the group's leaders and the "graffiti" case was sent to court early in July.

Well, now ‪Chim↑Pom‬ is making world wide headlines once again with their new "Super Rat" exhibit. In this installation they have further developed their shock art style by catching a bunch of big, huge rats in Shibuya's Centa Gai area and making them into taxidermic Pikachus aimed at Japanese girls who dress up as the famous anime character and ravage Shibuya in hordes:

Here is a recent interview with the group:

IMHO, more of this kind of art really needs to be made in Japan today. For more information about the legendary ‪Chim↑Pom‬, please visit their official website.

Google, Private-Equity Firms Mull Bid For Yahoo

"Google and prospective partners have held early-stage discussions but haven't put together a formal proposal and Google may end up not pursuing a bid, this person said. It is unclear which private-equity firms Google has talked to."

"As Microsoft and other companies consider buying search engine and media company Yahoo, questions arise over how much the company is worth, MarketWatch's Dan Gallagher reports on Markets Hub."

"Any deal tying two of the biggest Internet companies would be sure to attract antitrust scrutiny. Federal antitrust lawyers in 2008 thwarted a Web-search advertising partnership between the companies. A year later Yahoo signed a 10-year search partnership with Microsoft Corp."

"Rocketeer": Award Winning Hong Kong TVC

2011-09-30T13:31:00.000-07:00

"Rocketeer" is a very creative, funny and award-winning Hong Kong television commercial for NutriGreen's LDF Cordyceps Health Supplement:

According to the main actor in this commercial, Jayson Li:

"The campaign I worked on for NutriGreen's LDF Cordyceps Health Supplement (《綠養坊》LDF純冬蟲夏草) was launched not too long ago. The "Rocketeer" campaign consists of a television commercial, directed by Chan Man Chung, and a print ad with the production house being Film Factory and the advertising agency being Leo Burnett Hong Kong. The TVC was recently featured in the Chinese language newspaper Ming Pao (明報), Attuworld Nederland and on Virgin Radio Toronto. The TVC was also recently screened at the Cannes Lions 58th International Festival of Creativity which was held at the Palais de Festivals in Cannes, France."

Note: This commercial was also selected as a winner in the 2011 Spikes Asia - Asia's Creative Advertising Festival and Awards.

Brief Explanation:

"Most people in Hong Kong live a crazily hectic life - long working hours, overtime on weekends, and a packed social life. Most of them feel drained before they even get up in the morning. To dramatize this phenomenon, this commercial shows how a businessman loses his energy before he even gets to work. The answer of course, is Nutrigreen LDF Cordyceps, a health supplement that helps people maintain their energy level throughout the day".
