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."

So could that mean that this is true too?

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

A Modern Day Japanese Wedding
Here is a funny picture of a modern day Japanese wedding with the groom carrying a keg of beer on his back:
Actually, in most Japanese weddings it is traditional for the bride and groom to NOT drink nor eat anything during their wedding party. Only the guests are permitted to actually celebrate. So this is really a very clever way to provide them with excessive amounts of beer in a fast, efficient way!

WTF Japanese Clapping (Fapping?) Robots
Via WTF Japan Seriously - Keio University's robotic researcher Masato Takahashi just released his new invention that will significantly advance the human race forevermore - the all-new Japanese fapping clapping robots:
According to Tokyo Tek these clapping hands robots were modelled after the inventor's arms and were made with "an aluminium skeleton coated with urethane flesh and were specially designed to make a natural sounding clap" and that "they can be used at concerts to enhance the sound of real clapping" or as good "spanking machines" to, of course, spank the monkey with!

Japan's Chim↑Pom 'Super Rats' Attack Tokyo
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. Within an hour from installation it was all over Twitter and other social sites. Then it was quickly reported by mainstream Japanese media. A day later 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.

NMA TV: Who Will Buy Yahoo?
Taiwan's Next Media Animation recently released this funny 3D animation news report on Who Will Buy Yahoo?:
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."

WTF Japan: TOTO's Toilet Poop Bike
First came the delectable invention of poopburgers from Japan of course.
And now just when you thought you've had enough of this WTF Japan crap, the well-known Japanese toilet maker, TOTO, has just introduced the all-new toilet poop bike that runs on human excrement:
Yes, that's right long riders, you don't need to take anymore truck stop breaks as you can keep on riding while pooping. Check it out:
Just kidding. It doesn't work that way. And this model is obviously a promo for the toilet manufacture. But wait, there's more! This new shit cycle also plays music, talks and generates some kind of “residual light imagery to write messages in the air as it zooms by.” Whatever.
