"Speed of Life" by David Bowie & Masayoshi Sukita

Via David Bowie (Official) For Immediate Release March 19, 2012

Genesis is proud to announce SPEED OF LIFE, the new publication born out of a 40-year collaboration between musician, actor and producer, David Bowie, and photographer and designer, Masayoshi Sukita.

In their fine bound edition, the authors have opened up Sukita's archives to assemble a 300-page photo essay which, captioned with their own recollections and memories, traces the development of Bowie's remarkable career from 1972 to the present day.

Here's an exclusive peek at one of the previously unpublished shots with accompanying caption from Bowie himself...

"So, let’s try a little Kabuki face. Well, it convinces me. With my make-up man Pierre La Roche, and the help of Kabuki star Tamasaburo, I braved the world of Kabuki make-up. The cupid lips made it back to the USA along with cherry coloured cheeks." - BOWIE

DPRK's Female Soldiers on Women's Day

North Korea is undergoing some rapid changes nowadays! Just last month we discovered some North Korean accordian players in a spirited group performance of A-ha's "Take on Me." And today we found some DPRK female soldiers celebrating International Women's Day by marching in synch with Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun." Check it out:



Also we recently discovered that, in fact, Kim Jong Il Invented Photoshop! Furthermore according to our Japan-based illuminati insider here is the real truth about the song "Take on Me":

"North Korea is best Korea. This is the peoples song. This "group", a-ha, stole it from poor struggling North Korean peasants, who have sung it for the last 1000 years. It was suppressed by the imperial powers and just recently perfected."

Could the same be true about Cyndi Lauper and her hit song "Girls Just Want To Have Fun?" After all it is well known that both A-ha and Cyndi Lauper have never performed live in Best Korea! Coincidence? And don't forget North Korea's world-wide smash hit Fucking USA. Many viewers still write in asking about that video. The mystery continues.

Anyway, here's wishing all the beautiful North Korean female soldiers a very happy International Women's Day!

Conan O'Brien vs. Copycat Chinese TV Show 2

Via Team Coco March 5. 2012

Just over a week ago, Conan O'Brien discovered a blatant copyright infringement of his show's opening animation by a Chinese talk show known as “Da Peng’s Chatter.” Then Conan and his production team responded in a tongue-in-cheek comic style by showing the two opening sequences side by side and then claiming:

"What is that? That's insane. That's madness. And to make matters worse its a really weird show." And also "For years now China has been ripping off America with cheap knockoffs, right? ...Well China if you think you can rip off my show, I think I can rip off their show. And let's see how you like it."

Of course, the "Da Peng Chatter" team was watching and they did not get the "American Joke" so then they responded with this hilarious clip (click "CC" button for subtitles):



To which Conan and his team responded with this comic clip:



Well, it is said that "Comedy brings people together" so perhaps this comical exchange will continue. Let's hope so.

WTF Cherry Sexual Harassment Space

As the reigning world champion superpower of WTF, Japan has defended its coveted title yet again with this sign for the "Cherry Sexual Harassment Space":



So WTF is this?!?!?

It is a sign for a cabaret club in Tokyo, Japan.

WTF is a cabaret club???

In Japan a cabaret club or kyabakura キャバクラ is a place for men to go and talk with young girls, engage in excessive drinking and sing KARAOKE. Much like hostess clubs, cabaret clubs are expensive and do not allow customers to engage in sexual activities with any women inside of the clubs. Outside of the clubs it is a different story altogether. Also, within the past few years or so, jobs as a hostess, club girl or male host have become more desirable as they have evolved into a higher social status level. Now there is a trade union for employees and besides who wouldn't want to make six figures a year by having fun?

Miura Atsushi, a market researcher and author defines the cabaret club as a “theme park of traditional gender roles” that allow men to relive the past when women were not so educated and independent and less likely to complain of "sexual harassment" in the workplace or at home. Here men can get as drunk as possible, yell, scream, blow off stressful steam and be treated like a king. Thus clubs like this one thrive within the modern-day Japanese society.

Mmmmkaaaay... So does "having fun" in Japan include being sexually harassed? This is not easily understood and if this whole thing is still somewhat confusing, perhaps the below google translate Engrish description of this cabaret club in Tokyo may help to explain it all better:

"It soon becomes warm and cold even irresponsible way everyone Thank you for visit us last night ☆ 彡毎 Sun! It will be filled with-feeling ('· _ · `)"

"Everyone greet the beginning of the week in such a feeling! Our shop is sure to warm the retainer body and soul) Tashitashi (~Tsu (No~e `*)) Lori Kawaero 彡激 studded Girl ☆ let go in too hot tonight of course! ! It just does not end'll (● ^ o ^ ●)? ? What it is All Time \ 3000.OFF and miss something when Nana Nana ('゚ ゚ A `) Uyoyoyo loss today, the absolute loss (_'Д` _) ☆ it is determined to Cherry (* ^ ^) v "
